        Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

        I have two doghouse blinds,set both blinds out 3 weeks before start of archery season. Killed 4 deer from my blinds last year,had a spike walk broadside 2 yards out from the main window,stopped and looked in before walking again.This blind controls scent very well,easy to set up and take down. I recommend this blind,it serves my hunting needs better then any other blind I have looked at!

          Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

          This is a great basic blind that works plain and simple.I will be using mine for the 4th season this fall.It works great in the cold,rain,snow,and wind.To help with leaks I sprayed it with water repelant for tents.I've gotten 2 bucks out of it a 3 pointer and an 8 which was my biggest deer to date.I've had 20 turkeys close enough to me that I could've spit on them and they had no idea my Dad and I were there.It is plenty big for 2 hunters and we are big boys also.It is well worth the money.I'm looking forward to spending more time in the blind.

          Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

          I had this blind bought for me as a hunting gift last year befor deer season and I had only 3 weeks to set up a spot. I found one near my food plot and during opening week, I managed to see several doe feeding off the plot, they did not seem to be alarmed about the blind at all. It made it easy to blend into the background and provided a close view of 20yrds to deer, while keeping me dry and out of the wind. Just make sure it's tied down tight so that it does not have much play or room to move. It does a great job trapping the body heat in and keeping the cold winds of winter out. I will buy as many of this blind as I can. It allows a hunter to get close to deer in spots that are not! easy to access. Great product. well worth the time,money,and effort. easy set up also!

          Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

          I live in Oregon and blinds are not something you hear or see allot of around here. Decided I wanted one for turkey hunting this year and that it might be a good tool for late season Black-tail hunts in the valley when we start to get sprinkles. Bought this due to the high reviews and cheap price. I like it because it's light, got plenty of windows and appears to be fairly well stitched. Cons are if your a bow hunter like myself then you might find it a little tight. when Im in full draw the blade is through the front window and my elbow is rubbing the back door. Only another 4" and this would be eliminated. (Im 6' tall for reference). Also when I set it up I could see light leaks through quite a bit of the material so I have my doubts on how dry it is. Overall though I'm pumped. I really Doubt I could find much better for the price.

            Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

            I love both of mine. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I wish there was a window in the door panel. It is spacious enough for 1 person and any equipment you want to bring. You can even fit two in this blind but it is a bit tight. My only suggestion is to buy this early in the year and set it up well in advance. The smell from the factory is very strong right out of the box. I usually set new ones up about two weeks earlier than normal. It is very light, offers good protection from rain and wind, can be concealed very well among trees and brush, and literally takes 10 minutes to set-up and take down.

              Comments about Ameristep Doghouse Blind:

              This blind is great. I have had deer walk by less than 5 yards away. The only drawback, if any, is that you have to sit or kneel to shoot your bow. I prefer to sit so it's great for me. It does give the occasional drip during a heavy rain but it is a ground blind, not a tent. I plan to spray it down with a tent sealer in the off season to remedy that. I have not used the shoot-thru mesh feature but that is because of my own concerns. I worry about my mechanical broadheads opening prematurely as it passes thru the mesh. Bottom line here is I love this blind and will buy one for my huntin partner for his upcoming birthday.

                This is a great highly recommended product for the money. Super easy, BUT the factory quality sucks. Holes, thin spots, poor quality control.
