Re: Which Blind
Before you buy take these 4 things in consideration ......the camo pattern.. is it good for all places.......how tight is the fabric against frame[shimmy]....... is the fabric shiney ......the shape of the blind[90 degree surfaces not common in nature[square].] most of the time game is afraid of these 4 things.

Re: Which Blind
I've been shopping and comparing the blinds that are available and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Ameristep Doghouse blind. Seems to be a good size and a pretty good value for the $$

Also make sure your wife has the barrel of the gun ouside of window First year in it she melted the window fabric at the hindge now it has a smily face when closedbstout wrote:I have two of the Ameristep Doghouses and one of their Penthouse blinds. I like the Doghouse blind better than the Penthouse as it will go into places (fit) where the Penthouse is too big.
These are nice blinds but just like anything else you have to go easy on the zippers and such if you expect them to last for several seasons.
Mine already have and don't owe me a thing.

Re: Which Blind
Try the ghostblind. It works well. http://www.ghostblind.com/
Re: Which Blind
The ghost blind would not be legal to hunt out of here in Pa. blinds must cover the hunter on all 4 sides and top.and be made of only man made materials.[no brushing in the blind] thats why i bought a Double Bull

Re: Which Blind
Yes this is true and if it is stolen, it can be replaced cheap ! They hide you very good and you really don't have to brush them in to fool deer, however it is best to put it up early. I only brushed mine in because I put it up in the middle of bow season. The Doghouse worked !roly wrote:Doghouse

Re: Which Blind
Hey Bugs - Congrats on the Doghouse! You'll be happy with it, I'm sure!
Once you figure out how to fold 'em, it's easy, but the first couple of times it might take a few tries....
Fold it flat (all sides together), then grab the bottom with the top resting on the ground, fold it over into a taco shape, and you'll find the sides will almost want to swing kind of figure-8 to the inside. Just guide it together and hold the 4 loops together while you stuff it into the bag. I find it easiest if I stuff the bag over hoops. When you get it started it out right about 2/3 thirds of the way, then the last bit just about happens on it's own.
Handy to have that tote bag - I put all kinds of stuff in mine - decoy, chair, extra clothing, etc.

Re: Which Blind
I just picked up a Doghouse from the local archery shop in town.
Can't wait to try it out this turkey season.
Looks like I better practice setting it up and taking it down before I head out into the woods.

Re: Which Blind
My Doghouse had been in the woods since the middle of October and guess what?...
Last week when I took it down I couldn't remember how to fold it Glad I had the directions with me.
I think forgetting was a " Senior Moment ".
