Gonna get a blind so i can start taking my 5 year old out with me, we normally use the shooting houses for deer hunting but Id like to move around a bit more and can't use those for turkey season anyways. Looking for one plenty big for 2 people and is easy set up as well as durable. I know $125 aint much but surely there is something around that out there thats worth the money. I don't own a blind and usually don't use one so not sure where to even start.

the main thing is easy set up, durable and would prefer easy carry in and out.
 
I've used the doghouse in the past and it is prob big enough for us 2 but it would be tighter. Looking more at the hub style just to be sure we have plenty of room. One with a floor in it would be AWESOME but not sure which has those and how much they run.
 
this one doesn't have a floor. but I have one and I really like it. and not to bad of a price.

the ameristep backstrap blind I ordered it at cabelas. and its only 14 blinds and comes with a back pack style bag

I purchased some version of an Ameristep pop-up about 3 years ago that has a zip-in/out floor. They apparently quit offering it about the time I got that one.

The floor adds very little weight, and does a great job in keeping out anything that might crawl in, as well as making it easy to find anything you drop. Wish could find another with such a floor, as this particular one is about ready to be junked (even though the floor remains in great condition).
 
The ameristep brickhouse hub style should work for you. There are some on eBay for $98.99 free shipping. It doesn't have the cheap fabric that the spring blinds have. It's 75"x75"x67".

X2 love that blind
 
Killzone. Been using mine for over 3 years deer and turkey hunting. Somewhere around $109. Obviously not the quality of a double bull but for the money you can't beat it. I waterproof the roof once a year as a precaution.
 
I've got an Eastman bought off eBay and its been great. Sprayed it with water repellent to help with rain. One of the bars going into the hub broke at the end so I just have to slide it in place but still works. I've had it I know since my son was 4 because that was his first deer hunt and he'll be 11 next month. Killed his first and only turkey out of it when he was 8. Its 5' x 5'.
 
ameristep at walmart{online-free shipping),just bought two $64.00 each.i buy a couple a year and leave them out year round in different locations.they last for 3-5 years in my experiences.cant beat that value for the price and descent space.

If you are near an academy they had all their blinds on clearance. As a matter of fact they have had all their turkey stuff on clearance for awhile now.
 
My question with the cheaper ones is how well are they made and are they gonna last? Like I said I don't use blinds and never bought one so I have no idea if the $60 is as good as the $150 one or why the $150 is more expensive

I bought the ameristep brickhouse for $79. From what I understand they are high quality for a lower price. I think mine will hold up pretty well.
