ground blind preference

[dkohio]

Which ground blind would you use if your were going to leave it up during deer season? I guess as far as quality goes which do you recommend ?

Hard to beat a Double Bull for quality and durablity.
But man I would worry about leaving it out all season.
They are quite expensive and not easily replaced if stolen..

Thanks for the insight

If you want the best, get a Double Bull. But trust me, don't leave it out. I left one of mine out one night and it got stolen.

If you are going to leave one out, buy a cheap one so you are not out money. Better yet, if you're wanting to leave a blind out, why not just take some fence posts, chicken wire, and natural vegitation and build a blind. Cheaper, looks better, and no one will steal it.

Yup had my blind stolen last year....in my backyard woods....had two....I think I found a way to lock one to a tree.....it was a bummer to see gone...it was a nice Brickhouse blind......good thing I only paid $ 130 for it......I leave mine out....and this year I'm looking for a cheaper blind.......no way would I get a DB and have it stolen...too much lost for me...I see a lot of nice blinds on the market today...I will be getting another......I only hunt on the ground....love the close up action of the hunt......they work great....you can move around in them and not be seen....scent control is excellent in them....plus they are so much warmer in the winter being out of the wind and rain.

Only ground blinds i have ever used have been home made ground blinds, and they work fairly well for me on fence rows.

If you are looking to set one out buy a Ameristep Doghouse. You can catch them on sale for like $50. I went ahead and bought the Brickhouse because It is much easier to put up and take down. Just buy a doghouse and brush it in.

The only ground blind I use is one where I use the brush or natvie grass and pull it around me. Can't beat it and it works! Very inexpensive and you don't have to worry about it being stolen because it looks just like the rest of the area and people will walk right by it!!

I have had people walk right by me and never have seen me! It is really interesting.

I have never used a treestand!

Only nice thing about a pop up is the fact that you have a roof over your head if the rain comes in. I love treestand hunting but man hunting in groundblinds is awesome. Mine you can fit 2 people in comfortably, don't have to worry about moving around.

Homemade for me, I have a double bull but never leave it out. Too big of an investment.

Ameristep....no way i'm spending $400 on a blind when i can get the same results from a $200 or less blind....
