Did Primos "china-out" their blinds that bad?

For ease of use and price, the Ameristep Doghouse.

Spring steel, folds to about 3"X 2' circle and comes with a carrying pack.  Weighs 8 pounds I think it said?  It's easy to carry and not heavy.  Simple and effective...but I've only used one for deer hunting.
Can be bought in Realtree Green on Ebay today for $39 with free shipping.
About to pull trigger on one now.

ETA:  It weighs 14 pounds.  Feels lighter.

I have the Ameristep Doghouse.  Its great for if you plan to pack it up every time.  Light and very quick to set up of take down.  Not real good in high wind but neither is turkey hunting.  It's bit on the small side if you plan to bow hunt out of it.

Chadly is right, it would be smallish for bowhunting.  I can fit me and a grandson in for gun hunting deer.  I set it up and brush it in good just before season and leave it out two months.  Mine never leaked.  After four or five seasons the zippers started going so the grandkids got it to play in and I've ordered another.  It's not a premium blind but it's darn good for the price.

Double bull double wide. Just check it out good before you take it to the woods. I got one that was junk last year off a internet site. I send it back and got one at cabelas. That one is nice. Had a double bull matrix 360 before and I like the double wide better.

best one I ever hunted in was a primos dark horse, but they are spendy.

I have a $90 Baronett blind I picked up from a farm supply store a couple years ago that works just as well.  I don't use a blind enough to justify a double bull.

Hunters view, cloth no vinyl shine or noise, no black interior, skyline apparition camo looks like a hay bale, spring style , no hubs. lightweight and very quiet setup. Gave about 50 -60 bucks , but  10 years back.

We use blinds for the handicap kids and elderly that we take.

There are no comparisons to the Rhino xp-1 or the Primos Darkhorse. They are constructed of the best material and they are the most durable.  Their window system is also the finest of all the options.

Not a fan of adults hunting out of ground blinds.... But ill stop with that.

I have a Rhino XP-1 that I will break out to hunt out of several times a season.  I like it pretty well other that the fact that it can be a pain to set-up/take down sometimes. I'd rather not be confined to the blind while turkey hunting but absolutely have no problem with blasting a longbeard out of one either... :icon_thumright:!!!

This is why I like a good blind. Hard to pull off a little girl double on longbeards without a good hide.
