I picked up a couple PRIMOS blinds years back ( about the time they acquired Double Bull ) ...
Got them at Cabelas for about $200 ea. ( I think maybe $200 back then is "the new " $400 now ? )
Having 360 deg. vision and shooting capability I have been very satisified,,, I do use longer and heavier 10-12" spikes to anchor them down and have never lost one.
A few years back $200 seemed to go a bit farther. Though they were higher priced, I felt they were better built than many I had checked out. All these years later, I feel I got my moneys worth and more as I have never had an issue with either one.

In pa turkey season we have to hunt from a totally enclosed blind. A ghostblind or cloth semi blind is not legal. .....stupid law l know.!!! And we cannot brush a blind in for turkey only deer ....stupid law l know!!! Dont ask how l know . A A-hole lady game warden told me first hand. Any way l like the dog house ...best bang for the money and lf someone steals it its not as big a deal.
I solved this problem by moving away from PA

I have not used one but have seen this Made in Michigan Blind . Well made and look like they are made to last . http://www.luckyshuntingblinds.com/Bow-Blinds-for-Sale-Ubly-MI.html
I solve this problem by wearing a full on ghille suit, or even just a Leafy Wear suit. Far better than a ground blind IMO as it is ultra portable and I can setup where ever I need to based on what the game is doing. If you can sit still and don't stink a ghille suit is the way to go. Deer generally have no idea I am even there. And even if they catch me moving they just look up and have no idea what I am. Only downside versus a ground blind is that you are still out in the weather.
Do you sit out there in a gillie suit with bright orange on as required during gun season?

Yep. We only have to wear a hat here to be legal which I do on private land. But on public I don't risk it and wear a vest. Deer don't see the orange like we do. The 3D camo effect is the ticket. I've had them right on top of me while I have orange on just like when I don't. Camo orange is a good idea too if it's legal.

My Ameristep ground blind is over 10 years old and i think i have replaced every crappy die cast aluminum rod tip with ones i made out of steel. i have also done lots of sewing with power pro fishing line.
I have an old computer chair that stays in it when its out that is very comfortable and adjustable.
I only payed $100.00 for it and refuse to let it die, but if it does get stolen it just gives me an excuse to buy a new one.
