Looking to buy a good archery ground blind. Any Suggestions or testimonials??? Thanx in advance

Posted

I have owned a Ameristep Doghouse and currently have a Carbon Hunter, both good blinds but if I have the $$$, it would be the Double Bull Matrix!! I was in one a Cabela's and I think it would be a dream to hunt from.

I have the Double Bull.

Lots of money compared to most, but if you have the cash, go for it.

I have heard a lot of good things about the Double Bull but no firsthand experience. I arrowed a doe out of an Ameristep Doghouse this year and had many more in range at different times so it did the job. I like it because its small and if brushed in, very well camoed. The price was also right to experiment with a blind - just over $50 at Fleet Farm when it was on sale. The downside is that it's small. You have to do a little manuevering to draw and shoot. I draw back facing one of the corners and then slowly swing to one of the shooting portholes. You also pretty much have to shoot sitting or kneeling, both of which present no problems to me. But if you like to shoot standing, check out a blind that allows you to do that.

I dont know of any blind made that you can stand and shoot in. It would have to be 7-8 ft tall in order to accomodate the limbs on your bow if you were standing.

Ameristep makes a blind you stand up in and shoot your bow from. It's called the penthouse. I have one and it works great. I'm 6'6" and can easily stand and shoot from it. A tall blind is also nice for those long days hunting, you can stand up straight and stretch without leaving the blind. I think I paid around $180 for it.

      There’s critters out and about.  Get yourself some cellular trail cams and you’ll see.

      One more day….. but I’m thinkin’ my guess was a little early…. For this year.

      It wouldn't be the first time I've heard the USS Skunked Again breaking ice! I left this morning, the rain really did a number to the ice. I'll bet the Partridge River will be open by the weekend.

      My yard is pretty open, but narrow. I think I'll be fine with reception in the areas I'm thinking. I try to keep the hill somewhat natural, but my wife wants to see the lake better. The video's I've watched, they have topped the trees and mounted the dish. I would this the swaying would affect the signal. Does Starlink help you with using WiFi for calling? My T-Mobile service sux at the cabin. Did you bury your cable?

      I'm on the wide part of the channel going in to Black Bay. We won't see Paul B. For years.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏

      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.
