Last year i used an AMERISTEP PENTHOUSE and liked that blind but would like to try a DB---but they don't make a DB blind that's anywhere near tall enough to shoot from while standing.

I was hurt in a car accident 2 years ago and had nothing but time on my hands so I went to a fabric store and was looking for some masqito netting and happened to find enough Realtree Hardwoods material scraps and bought all they had for $12.00 and 7 10ft sticks of 3/4 pvc pipe and and some fittings all total spent less than $30.00 and built my own ground blind I'll set it up and take some pictures it was great just to get out in the woods with it even though I was unable to hunt I still sat in it and saw deer hogs and turkey galore and was never noticed once even while smoking a cigarette. it looks like a childs playhouse and will seat 2 adults with room to spare I'll get me a deer this comming season for sure amongst a few other critters as I'm getting better now and ready to hunt again I think it weighs around 20lbs but comes apart and fits in its own sack made from the same material and goes together in less than 5 minutes with one man putting it up and less if their are 2 people doing it the cover is sewn together as one piece and just slides over the frame can't wait to show it off. when I take the pictures I'll post them on my yahoo photo album and repost a link so yall can see it, I hope to do this Sunday or Monday at the latest

I don't have one but if I were to get one it would be the Double Bull but I can't see paying somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 bills for it either. Chef John, good job.

I have hunted in a blind since I use a wheelchair for the last 2 years on my 20 acres. I made one last year with 3 5x5 cattle panels I cut up and draped burlap over them with a blue tarp for a roof. It was finished 1 month before season so the deer would be use to it. I had 3 and 5 turkey within 15 yds. and skot a 6 pointer at 20. This year in a hurry I used 2 of the panels thats it and had total of dozen deer within 30 yds. So be creative, you don't have to spend alot of cash.

I would use both an treestand and ground blind whenever i find a place to hunt deer.

Think i'll do the same whenever i got hog hunting too.

Chef Jon,

That is pretty impressive. It look so simple to put together and yet I have not seen many other folks who would undertake the task. Care to post any of the specifics regarding what size/length pvc you were using?

I have to say that the camo blends in nicely with the background in that one picture. How do you shoot out of it though? I did not see any windows.

Corey22,

I use one of several ground blinds for both deer hunting and goose hunting. All are commercial "pop up" style blinds. I think they definitely come in handy in many places that I hunt which cannot support the use of a treestand. They also are a pure blessing when the weather turns nasty.

Would like to try a blind, but I usually make up some kinda blind with a fallen tree or anything else around.
