You can spend a little money now on a cheap pop-up blind and then discover that you wish you'd paid more and bought a quality model..... OR,..... you can spend the extra money on a Double Bull blind and sit in style, in a top of the line blind that will last for many years. They really is a serious reason they cost more....... they are WORTH IT! ;)

arent those like 300 dollars though?
i dont have that much money to buy one with i can spend 100 dollars maybe. i tghink i need one that is big because i will be bow and gun hunting from it

please help thanks

Yes, the DB is $300 closer to $400. Great blinds but not in your budget. You may be able to find an Ameristep Brickhouse for $100 on sale. They are usually $149 and i have hunted out of one for a few years. I saw one on sale for $99 at the end of last season and picked it up as an extra.

They are a hub style blind and a good buy at the $99 - $149 range

In my hunting area I have 2 pop ups, 4 built ground blinds, and numerous tree stands. If you are moving from spot to spot through out the day folding up and resetting is more commotion than you want to make in the deer woods (I believe this even if you are very efficient). Scouting is key. If you put in the time scouting now, maybe you won't have to move as much during hunting season. Time in equals success. With less motion in the woods you will become more successful. By scouting now you can elimminate having to "look around", for that hunting placement on hunting day. Once again you have eliminated movement. Just some suggestions to assist you.

well the thing is i have lots of spots and i dont have enough money to buy and make blinds for every spot

i would stay at the same place for athe day or however long i wean tto hunt there and i would move day to day maybe
but i wouldnt move at alll during same day

Try making some ground blinds with the materials you can find in the woods. Such as fallen trees, limbs, long grasses, and even leaf piles that you can rake up in front. Look around this summer for discarded 2x4's or plywood (unpainted) that you can cut and fashion for a backing for these blinds. I hunt a public area of over 30 sq. miles with little hunting pressure and I've built many blinds over the years with my only cost being my time, sweat and hard work. Hunting costs over the years have gone through the roof and I can appreciate what you are saying about costs. If you will be using variable locations (due to wind, travel corridors, time of year etc.) then building your own blinds would be most economical. You don't need much, just a little cover so that you can comfortable sit in a chair. Pre-plan and scout your locations now and then spend a couple of days in the woods constructing your blinds. I've harvested numerous deer over the years sitting behind such blinds and if constructed with care other hunters won't even see them when they walk by. Best of luck with your projects if you decide to build them.

I use a 6' piece of camo fabric that I carry in my pack. At the beginning of the season I wash it in scent free soap and handle it with my gloves on afterwards. It is cheap, light weight, and only takes minutes to setup or take down. The only downside is rain, but I very seldom hunt in the rain so it doesn't matter.

RE: good portable bblind?
 

would the amerstep beickhouse work good for bowhunting as well?

RE: good portable bblind?
 

Mossbergman11,
Yes, It will work very well for bow hunting. I set the brickhouse up a couple of weeks before bow starts, brush it in, and i'm set for the season. It hasground stakes and tie downs. It has plenty of room for 1 bowhunter or 2 gun hunters.
Get yourself one of those camp style chairs with a back but no arms.

Click on the link that dmen sent on this topic a few posts back. That is very similar in design to the brickhouse.

RE: good portable bblind?
 

is the brickhouse cheaper?

I have the Ameristep doghouse blind and like it very well.I never leave mine set up over night or leave them in the woods out of fear someone will steal it,so i take it home every time i use it.Alot of people will say that you have to set it up and leave it set up for a few weeks for the deer to get used to it.All i have to say is not true.As long as it is concealed and has good back brush to break it up,your good to go!I took a 3.5 year old 8pt this year and a Bobcat.Set the blind up before sunrise and got in it and about 8am bobcat comes out no 30 yds from me on a logging road and turns and glances at me and then starts walking away.Well he didn't get to far!:DI'd check the doghouse blind out if i were you,really roomy to.

Definetly look at the GroundMax. I have the deluxe and I just love it. I have used it for a few years now and it is super easy to setup and for the price you can't beat it!

RE: good portable bblind?
 

how much is the groundmax deluxe?
the ameristop doghouse what is the avergage price and is it enough room for bowhunting?

RE: good portable bblind?
 

I think i gave $79 for my doghouse blind and it has more than enough room for bowhunting,even comes with a shoot through mesh for bows.
