Walmart is selling the 200 durometer rhino blinds for 88$.....top end rhino blinds are the best ever seen for pop ups.....the new mantis blinds look promising too....I've owned alot of barronetts and they are solid...grounder 350 is huge

 

P.s. if you do build a platform..put up a ******* softside....

 

Cabela's stealth hunter six hub. Holds four hunters.

 

I will second that the rhino blinds are legit. Super high quality material and no zippers to make noise getting in & out of the blind.
I just purchase a Muddy ground blind last year and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. For just a little more than the AmeriStep blinds, the Muddy blows them away.
I have had 3 AmeriStep Brickhouse blinds and you’re lucky to get 3 or 4 seasons out of them (especially if you hunt late late season archery in the snow). I just buy them on sale at the Deer & Turkey classic every year and just assume they will be trashed in a couple years. Like anything else in life, you get what you pay for.

I stopped in Walmart and picked up one of the $88 rhino blinds last night. Seems like it will do the job till I get something permanent built. My kid and I had fun setting it up in the yard. I need to practice out of this thing now. Last time I hunted out of a blind I messed up the opportunity of a decade..

 

good idea...I once bought an ameristep to find I could not draw my bow unless I was going diagonal...good luck this season

 

IF money were no object I would get primo double bull blind with surroundview. I have a double bull blind for 4 years & it is very well made & works well. The only part that i struggle with each year is getting a view that allows enough time to see deer coming, yet not get busted by them. Brushing it in helps with this but that new surround view looks like a winner.

 

Anyone have any opinions on the shoot through mesh?

 

in my opinion..i don't want anything touching my arrow...plus I run mechanicals so that's a definite no....gun? maybe..i personally never do it..just me

 

Yeah I'm not shooting anything through mesh either. I can't believe they even advertise that you can do that.

 

I shoot fixed blades and still will not shoot through the “shoot through mesh”. To be able to accurately shoot an arrow through mesh that crates drag & resistance thus creating deflection and inherent inaccuracies defies the laws of physics...I just don’t do it. I’m sure there’s people that will say “I shot a buck at 50 yards through the mesh window” but that’s not for me.
Shooting a 12 gauge slug through a mesh window is a different story!

I heard about a guy that shot a muzzleloader through mesh and caught his blind on fire.

 

Got my blind set up half way down on the left side.. 15 yards from the main entry trail with some big rubs on it. Going to walk upstream in the shallow creek in the tree line to the back of the blind.. blocked a couple small deer trails in the left corner to keep them out of the thermal pull line at least when they enter. If they read the script and the wind cooperates shots will be 20 or less.
