Wife said if I got this one I could move into it permanently. Don't see what the big deal is....

No, I haven't but I think I need to go to the closest store and try them out.
Thanks

I purchased a Cabelas brand ground blind a few years back and it is easy to put up and take down. It has the pegs for windy conditions and good windows to shoot out of. I have used it a few times for turkey hunting but primarily use it for deer hunting on Manitoulin Island, getting up in age so can't take the cold sitting in a tree stand anymore

If you don't mind spending some coin I understand the Primos double bull blinds are top notch

I had a ameristep G3 and liked it but loaned it out and the wind blew it away. Now I have the Bonecollector it's roomier and is a nicer blind.

I purchased this one on clearance at BP:
http://www.biggametreestands.com/product/the-charger/
I leave it out for the month of spring turkey and it has yet to fade or show signs of wear. It's large enough to shoulder my shotgun and crossbow. My only complaint on this one is the access. It zippers along the corner rather than a doorway. It's not exactly quiet to enter or exit especially trying to get the limbs of the crossbow through the door.
Aside from that I've been happy with the quality and it's very easy to set up and take down. Comes with a carry bag with shoulder straps.

A little off topic, but here's a tip for you guys that have had wind blowing your blinds away - there's only one solution. Forget the metal pegs, they're OK to use on the corners of the blind so that it doesn't lift up but that's it. If you try to use them with those thin cords on the outside as guy-wires for wind stability, anything over 20 km/hr is just going to pull those pegs out of the ground an the blind will sail away.
Cut yourself 4 stout stakes (like 1" diameter and 16" long) from saplings, tie 6' lengths of rope to the loop on the outside of the hub, pull tight, loop the rope around the stakes and hammer into the ground on an angle. Do this on all 4 sides. These act as strong guy wires and the blind will stay put in an open field in gale winds.
Of course, that's not a guarantee...

For years I always hunted deer from a tree stand - both for archery and rifle seasons - then a few years ago my kids started giving me a hard time about using a tree stand at my age - so I thought that I'd try a ground blind - boy I just couldn't get use to it - seems like I was cooped in and couldn't see what was going on around me - it may be different if you have a bait pile right out in front of the blind but we can't use bait down here - well anyway - I still climb into a tree stand now and if for some reason I want to hunt from the ground I built a blind out of sticks and brush and put a chair in the middle of it - just my head can be seen above the side of the blind which encloses me - I find that a lot better than a fully enclosed blind that you buy
