Looking for a new blind for next year.. I'm looking at a
ameristep dominator blind
Double bull .
Are the double bull blinds worth the extra bucks?

Guys who owb DB blinds love them. I have a Yukon Tracks blind that I paid $152 shipped and love it. Easy up and down and plenty big for any bow. Seems very durable.

Check out the Northwoods Outfitters "Hidden Hunter" blind. Made by traditional bowhunters for traditional bowhunters.

I for one will not being buying anything from Primos. I have a Double Bull recurve blind, carbon poles, and a rain fly which I purchased from Double Bull before they were bought. I called Primos to order a snow cover and they said they were sold out and weren't going to offer them. Another example of the big companies buying out excellent little ones for the profit margin and forgetting about the customer. I asked them if it ever occurred to them that the fact they were sold out might indicate demand? Answer: "It wasn't my call." what a joke!

I have a couple of new blinds a Double Bull Darkhorse and Primos Groundmax. Both nice blinds my two favortive blinds I have owned and used over the years. Yes the DB is nicer than the Groundmax the material is better, the widows are better,the hubs are better but it cost alot more so the ground max is nice for the money. I leave the the groundmax setup in the woods sometimes the DB I take home I just can"t leave A $400 Blind alone in the woods and sleep at night.

i have two hunters view blinds,plenty of room but one design has tubing and zip ties holding the fiberglass rods in place. doesnt hold its shape well which makes it difficult to set up, the other has plastic blocks for the rods that lock out when opened,i have replaced all 5 blocks twice because they break very easily.both blinds are now relegated to the garage and probably wont see service again. so my advice is whatever you buy make sure the hinge blocks are strong and durable.

Hidden Hunter Blinds are made right here in Michigans Upper Peninsula. They're the quickest blind to set up and take down that you'll find. It's available in three patterns.
click on the demo link. The first blind in the video is their 5X5 gun blind. The 6X6 is the bowhunting blind.

This may look cold but I stayed warm out of the wind during this U P December hunt.
