Post Ground Blinds
I usually hunt from a tree stand here in east Texas but need a ground blind for hunting with a bow away from my place.

I want something big enough to cover your angles with a bow, but nothing huge that sticks out. Also don't want to drop a ton of money into it since I won't be using it more than 4 weekends a year.

Any suggestions?

Right.

More looking for a specific product recomendation. Reviews are so skewed on these things it's hard to weed out quality.

I use an Ameristep The Choice ground blind. It is lightish, durable and the 3d material helps it disappear when set up. It is plenty tall to use a bow in, and will easily fit 2 guys.

Thanks. I just ordered an ameristep brickhouse.

It's this one . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgMczMUokM

Doesn't look like a bad bang for your buck.

After viewing that video, if I were a deer I'd walk up to anyone setting this up and say, "WTF are you doing? I'm trying not to get shot, here, and you're making all this damn noise and flailing about this contraption all over the place. I heard you a mile away and thought surely you couldn't be a deer hunter with all that noise and stuff you're throwing around like that."

Sounds like you would be a smart deer.

I'll send you a before and after pic.
