i made a natural blind. After the loggers were done on the lease last summer, i went and collected some the trees that they left and built a small log cabin like blind.

I dont know what the sportsman guide is but $49.00 sounds like a small blind. looking for a 70"+ high by 70"+ wide and long here. Ameristeps in this range arer going for 149. to 239. depending on the features you are willing to pay for.

ok ok.
this deserves some further research.

I found one of the blinds I have been looking at and I can save 20.00 ordering it from sportsman guide.

Now the question is, and its the one I always ask when it comes to ordering online.

Is the savings worth the potential aggrevation if I need to send it back for one reason or another.

Store bought items can just be taken back with no problems and generally get a replacement on the spot.

I spend a ton of dollars annually with the Sportsmansguide. I've never had any issues with them,,
they're very good about their no hassle return policy..
I don't think you'll be disappointed dealing with them for purchases or returns .. Good Luck

I have the ameristep G-30 & I am happy with it
would like the windows a little bigger but I have enjoyed hunting a lot more since I bought a blind I do still use my stands also but when the weather is crappy & I still want to hunt the blind is great

Picked up an ameristep brick house last week. just set it up today for the first time. its got some holes and tears in it. thats got me a little concerned. so I sent ameristep an email, we'll see what happens next.

other than that, pretty happy with the room. enough for two hunters if they are careful.

I have a blind. But have never used it. A buddy of mine has used the same old cabin for the past 3 years and has failed to not fill a tag. He says its better to use something the deer are used to. So it won't spook them. Makes a lot of sence to me. I'm gunna try to find one this year. Maybe something to think about for ya.
