Ground blind?

I have a ground blind but prefer to use my gilli suit instead.

I've harvested deer and turkey out of my ground blind set up on field edges, in forest. There are so many variety of brands and styles, different things to think about. Depending on type of hunting, ease of set up for relocating, climate (wind, snow) pegged, strength of material (snags of branches can tear them), types of window openings, frame strength, removable screens or not, camo colour, zippered/Velcro doors. Height/width is also important, adequate space for xx ppl, heater, ease of gun/bow/crossbow movement.

So by the sounds of it a big Ameristep isn't a bad choice?
I'm not going to move that blind a lot, mostly on private property and two weeks on secluded crown.

Damn, you made it even more complicated but that's why I posted that thread. I looked the Ameristep web site and I couldnt find a real diference between must of them.
I'm not a bow hunter so I guess it should make the choice a lot easier.

Check out some of Altan blinds at Sail. You should treacly go and see some that are set up so you can get an idea of how big and portable you want to go.

I have and have had many different ground blinds. My go to blind is the Ameristep Bone Collector. Tough, roomy, exterior brush straps and all round great value in my opinion. I usually set them up in spring and take them down after deer season ends. Ya gots to be careful with snow load and such but with a little care they will last for years.

If it is just you then the Ameristep Doghouse should suit your needs.....I have 2 of them that I use and leave them set up for weeks at a time...good luck

I'm kind of in between this two:

Same size but the Carnivore is supposed to be built to last longer, so heavier.

I has one like that a few years ago and it was okay (until a bear torn it apart), but I'd like more space.

Did you look at the new Mancave from Ameristep ? It's reported to be the biggest blind on the market.
