Which Ground Blind (Under $200)
«

I'm looking to purchase a ground blind that I will be using to hunt deer and turkey with my recurve. My wife will also be hunting from the ground this year since she will be about 7 months pregnant come deer season. I can't keep her out of the woods, but I will keep her from climbing trees!
On my short list so far are the Yukon Tracks Enforcer Elite, the Escape Deluxe Ground Max and the Predators Den from Cabelas.
All input/opinions welcome.

I have the 'Yukon enforcer' - I can put the thing up in about 12 seconds; and take it down just as fast. I am 6-3 and can stand up in it. It is big enough to sleep in corner to corner- nice roomy blind; with inside zippers ( some blinds require you to exit the blind to adjust the windows; and unzip the screens). I really like the blind; I have only used it once with bears; had one within a few feet of it; and totally fooled a pine martin
I am going to use it Sunday when elk and deer opens.
I can shoot a longbow in it with no problems.

I have a ground max and if I keep an eye out for a good sale in the winter after season I can get them for about 100$ to 150$ depending on the model.
Good blinds for the money
I don't know if you have a Rural King where you live but that's where I bought mine. I think even if they aren't on sale there less than 200$
you might look at your local ag store.

I have a couple of the ground max blinds that work well. I've taken 2 turkeys and a few deer from them.

I have the Ameristep G-20 Pop-Up Blind, that I got from Cabel's. It works great for me.

I've been using the Ameristep Penthouse, but the Yukon is next on my list.

Ground Max. Easy to set up, tall, no velcro. The roof vent is nice too.

AA, my ex took a forkhorn with an arrow through the heart when she was 6 months along. That was before pop-ups, and she used a ladder stand.
I like the Yukon Enforcer, wish it was the Elite (better windows).

Have been hunting from ground blinds for 6 years now...I have about everyone on the market!!! I keep going back to my Yukon Enforcer Elite..I shoot a 63" longbow without a problem. CAUTION....ground blinds takes some gettin' use to...don't set it up and giveup on it....work with it and after awhile your love them!! Good Luck.

I researched a lot of them...if you do a search I had a big post.
I ended up getting the yukon elite and I'm very pleased with it I couldn't afford the DB and I'm glad I got this yukon I shoot a 62" bow sitting no problem and if I crouch I can shoot out of it as well but I'm only 5'5" lol.
I will be writing a review in a few weeks after I hunt in it but I wouldn't hesitate in telling anyone to buy it from my limited experience thus far!

How about this for a cheap blind...
Just find a big tree to sit on (via a Torges seat or something) and hold still.
Or this one...
My son killed a nice buck this past year from this spot. I think it took him about 10 minutes to put this blind together.
The cost of both combined is somewhat less than $200. :-D

The lightest, most portable, easiest to shoot from and extremely effective ground blind that I know of is the Ghillie suit
