    I am looking for some advice on a new blind. My wife has recently showed interest in deer hunting and I am looking to get a blind so we can go together for her first few times. What are some good blinds that have enough room for two people (only one hunting) and won't break the bank (max $250). Thanks in advance for the input.

    Its close to your max price but I would save up for a Double Bull Darkhorse Blind. Super roomy, dark and easy to set up. Also i like the 180 degree horizontal window to shoot from. I wouldnt get anything else personally.

    Guide Gear® Five-hub Ground blind. it's on sportsmansguide.com for less than $80.00.

    I bought this one 3 seasons ago and also purchased a $299.99 name brand at the same time. I still have and use this one; the name brand lasted 1.5 seasons. It's cheap and does the job. The downsize is that it's a little small so probably best to have one shooter and the other person as a spotter. It's great for women and kids because it isn't so tall that the windows are above eyesight when sitting (little small for two grown men.) Tons of windows.

    Also, if she realizes she doesn't like hunting and you prefer a treestand you haven't spent lots of money on something that you wont use much.

    I am all about the Double Bull blinds. Awesome build, great front window for shooting and filming, pleanty of room, and comfortable carrying bag. Also hunted out of the Ameristep Carnivore this year. Like the windows, but a little out of your price range.

    After trying several models now I really like my Ameristep the best overall. Enough room for two people and has all the features at a discounted price. Consider the Brickhouse. Good luck.
