I've always wanted one, but the price tag is just not in my budget, but Ive always wanted to sit in a cornfield that's just been cut, watching the deer walk in to me.

I suppose you could quickly "become" the hunted, if a big buck caught sight of his reflection and decided to challenge :shock: :lol: Now that would be worth the price of admission!!

A couple years ago I went out in my yard and discoverd that my brand new whitetail 3D target was missing...Hmmm, then started finding the broken plastic legs, then his head and finally found the torso way out in the field :mrgreen:

You could see from the hole pattern in the new foam that a rutting buck hit it hard enough to get his horns stuck in it. :lol:

Same here. I'd buy one if they weren't so expensive. Ghost Blind must have a huge profit margin.
Still lovin' my EXCALIBUR MICRO 355! :-)

It might not be good at all in bear or pig country. If they see another one they could attack!Lol
They would have to be right up beside it to see their reelection, because the blind is angled slightly downward. By then, it would already be a a dead pig or deer or bear.

I don't think it is so huge. There are several videos on YouTube where guys are making their own and several stated that they did not actually save much by doing so. The materials are fairly expensive if building one correctly.

That is true....but a business also has the advantage of purchasing supplies at a wholesale cost, and with even more of a savings when buying in bulk.
That being said....the Ghost Blinds are awesome, and I'll probably end up buying one! :-)

I had planned on making my own, the company I used to work for actually made Mylar, so I could have gotten a deal on the most costly part of making my own Ghost Blind. Dumb me waited to long and they closed down where I was working.
