Re: ground blind
got two double bulls one is smaller and the other one was made for a recurve bow shooter and it is a bit bigger like them a lot and they hold up good . had them for about 10 years now . just bought a Red Neck hay bale blind and looking forward to using it this season for turkey. they all have their ups and downs but I like the double bull easy to set up and take down. good luck with your choice

Re: ground blind
I bought a Rhino last year and love it. It"s just like the double bull but better quality. The old double bulls use to be good till they got bought out then the quality went down hill.

Re: ground blind
Yep double bull was the best for many years. But if you look at the new ones the ratings went way down. I thinks it was Primos bought them out and the price went up and quality down. It's a shame this happens to such good products.

take a look at hidden hunter blinds
Re: ground blind
....I own a Ghost Blind....they work great...the problem is that they are cumbersome to carry around into the woods...very easy to set up and yes they do work as advertised...again just too cumbersome...I guess if you are 6'4" it might not be so bad....was thinking of getting the one for turkey as this is more practical....
....IMHO...don't try to make it...you will find they are even heavier....but that's JMHO...

Re: ground blind
Do you have the predator(larger) or the runner(smaller) version? I am thinking about getting the runner because I will be sitting on the ground and the predator seems like it would be too big.amythntr wrote:

As far as the pop up blind I use the Rhino and it will last more than a year or two (already has) because it is very well made.

Re: ground blind
What a shame about the Double Bull. I've had mine for about 15-16 years now and it's fantastic. It was 100% American made and assembled. The company was small but they were the best and proud of their top quality. Too bad.Pa.hunter wrote:Yep double bull was the best for many years.

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Re: ground blind
That post about the DB blinds was one man's opinion. I have two of them and have had no problems other than replacing some broken rods over the years. My nephew has a Black Horse DB and the Double wide DB and is problem free also. Mine are about 7 years or so old. I have a T-2 and a Matrix.

Re: ground blind
I have purchased 3 Altan blinds and have found them to be great value for the price. Often find them on sale at TSC - can also order them from Costco on line.

....The predator (larger one)...God for bid I fall on my back....I would either slide down the mountain I hunt on...or just lay on my back while a bear had his way with me...either way would not be fun....Jray wrote:Do you have the predator(larger) or the runner(smaller) version?
