    I know its no DB, but is it worth $129.00?

    Looking for something to set up out of the way for an occasional bow hunt off the feeder, on a trail. Is it worth it?

      Although I haven't seen that one in person the size looks right.

      Just plan aghead for the higher front window= a fold out chair isn't going to work, sits to low from what the picture is showing. I use the solid plastic chairs for my blinds and they sit high enough to clear the window.

      Looks like it's worth $130 to me. EDIT- no door,???? wth?

      Academy has a $160 remington blind that is getting good reviews. You might consider that one as well.

        Go to dicks and get the field and stream blind. It's $189 and looks really good and this is coming from a double bull snob.

          I looked at those and they have really shiny material. For just 10.00 more dollares you can ger the bone collector and it is a pretty decent blind. The cows got mine (bone collector) and I have since put up a fence around it. I think it will be ok now. I have had deer within 12 yards from it (no brushing in) and got some nice video out of it. I am going to have to replace it because it got beat up pretty bad. If you set it up for a while they will get used to it.

              I second the Academy blinds, If your not in a hurry and wait til mid November you can pick up the $170 blind for about $100 thats what I did last year. Excellent blind even at $170. DB in my opinion is way over rated. Nice blinds don't get me wrong but they dont set up any easier than a $170 blind and if something does happen to it your out half the money.

              What ever one you buy see if the store will let you take it outside and see it in the sunlight. Some look really good in store but when you get them out in the sun the material shines like a big warning sign.

                  watch ebay for auctions that don't have a lot of bids...I just picked up an Ameristep Mountaineer with the vertical corner windows and Max-1 camo for about $110 with shipping

                      The material looked and felt just like the material on the bone collector blind to me. Regardless, brush it in or cover it with camo netting and you are good.

                          I just got a Killzone from ebay for $89.99 shipped (no one else bid!). It should get here by next weekend. I watched their video and looked at their website, and they seem like decent hub-style blinds. They've been around a couple years, which also helps, as far as getting replacement parts. The Yukon Tracks also seem like pretty good deals. Some have better window placement than others. I looked at the bargain hub blinds at Sportsmans Guide, but passed because the mesh is on the inside. So you have to un-velcro the mesh to open and drop the outer window panel from inside the blind. Pretty lame design, if you ask me. Last year, I got the Eastman/Gorilla AX-5, and I have been real happy with it. It was a little shiny, out of the bag, but that went away pretty quick. It's brushed in at my lease right now.

                              You should be able to pick up an Ameristep Brickhouse for $150-$175. Great blinds and will last as long as any double bull. DB's are way over priced for what they are.
