    I need some recommendations for a good blind that can fit two people plus camera gear that won't completely break the bank. This is new territory for me here but I have a spot that would be perfect for a blind, there's just not any good trees.

    Thanks guys

    I have the Cabela's Zones Specialist XL that I like a lot. Plenty of room for two. You can stand up in it. It is $179.99. Whatever you do get a hub style blind. They are so easy to put up and take down.

    I have a Barronett Big Mike. Best thing about is that it's tall enough to stand and shoot your bow. I'm pretty sure they can be had for less than $200.

    Hub style is all I'm interested in

    Primos double bull, you can buy new or call them and buy a refurbished one, significantly cheaper.

    I have a matrix360 I got cheap. Still covered by a warranty on rods and hubs.

    If you're looking for new they have the bullpen right now that's similar to the dark horse that everyone loved.

    Just can't beat free rods and hubs as they eventually break on the elbow that connects to the hub usually for me.

    +1 on the big Mike. I bought one for 140 this year and it has tons of room. And the ability to stand up is a huge plus

    I have a Big Game Ground Max Escape Deluxe and it has lasted me 5 years. I put it out late September and usually bring it in late November or December. I can easily take my two kids, 9 and 11, with me and have plenty of room for gear and to draw. I think Primos bought out a part of Big Game and makes this blind now. I like it. Roomy, many window options, and hooks for window coverings so you can quietly raise and lower them or zip up when needed. It has some wear but running strong and easy to put up and take down. I put mine on a platform in our woods because while we have my trees, thus makes it easier to take the kids with. Next year I may build a permanent with bow windows but for now, this works well. I even run a portable buddy heater in there when real cold and stay toasty.

    Rhino XP-1 is a great blind for the money.
