I have use a dog house blind for a long time, last year I bought a blind made by Big Game tree stands. I can't remember the name of it but for 150$ it is a great blind and it's a hub stile which is nice.

Doghouse works for me. Other than the mice finding it tasty, no problems. It does have a bit of a learning curve getting it folded back up. Practice in the front yard with it first before you head to the woods with it. Trust me, you wont be sorry. :D

I've had a doghouse for a few years, still goin strong, got it on sale in the US for $50. Mine usually sits in the woods for a few weeks each year, only issue I had was one time when we had about 10-15cm of snow , the frame could not handle it, but after getting the snow off it popped back into shape again.

My supplier at work just cleared out a bunch of blinds for $53can. I ordered the last three.
They are called "the hideout". They don't seem to be the utmost of quality, but for the price who cares.
Any how, we shot an Axium out of it this afternoon, it worked great. Although I did sit back a bit to make sure there was plenty of room. They would be very close in size to the dog house

X a Million on the Dog House! So far, it has proven to be the best in the rain too! :wink:

It's true, if you do not know the trick on how to twist them back into a circle, you will want to throw it across the woods Lol the instructions on how to do it is pretty hard to follow, I went on You tube for the answer, and when done right it's super easy and fast

I like the Altan Den hub blind. On sale at TSC from time to time. Also available online at Costco. Less flapping in the wind and more room than the Doghouse. Better windows for more shoouting options too. Canadian company (Quebec) and good value for your money.
