ground blinds..make model store

[srupp]

So after 11 years trying I pulled a mule deer tag during the rut on Alberta /Sask border plus whitetail does / bucks.my hunter host went out today to scout the area and arrived to find his blind stolen!...after recently having my game camera stolen I can relate .
I need some help, and mostly advice..im pretty big guy, plus heater. .plus wife in the blind..2 chairs..
Im only going to be there for a few days..but need a blind..so..
Dont want to spend a fortune but want a reasonable quality, reasonable size given the above parameters..
I will also have a Buddy heater. .tank goes outside.
Recomendations..PLEASE
Which store Please..
And I may need someone to throw ...sorry no GReyhound..dammit..!
Is there a cabelas in Edmonton?
I DO NOT want to borrow one..buddy already had his stolen from large private ranch !
Time is ticking..I appreciate any suggestions...experienced help..will also check with Chilcotin Hillbilly he uses ground blinds for some hunts..
Thanks guys..ladies..
Appreciate any suggestions.

Yes there is a Cabela's in Edmonton. One in North Edmonton and one in South Edmonton.

By far the best in my opionion are made by Barronett. I have 3 of the Big Cat 350's and they're awesome. You can stand inside them (for stretching) and more than enough room for 2 people. Super durable and waterfroof. No velcro on the windows or the door. Take a look on their website. Or you can buy them on amazon and Walmart (maybe online only?)

I recommend the Primos Double Bullpen Blind. Built very sturdily this robust blind has lots of room for the two of you. Not sure you want to spend that much on a ground blind, but if you use it more than just your Alberta hunt it is worth it in my opinion.

Watched video of Primos leaking like a sieve for $500..video is worst $500 wasted..
Like the size of Baronett pentagon...says available from Amazon..how to contact amazon.lsays it ships in 1.,2 days..lol from ? Need it here in 1.5 weeks..
Will also phone Barronett..
Was hugely surprised and disapointed at Primos $500 blind was leaking as bad as it was raining outside..horrible..

Have had great luck with Primos and Double Bull in the past. I have a Rhino blind that's been bombproof and has lasted a long time left out for long periods.

Also a cheap Ameristep does the trick nicely and is dirt cheap in most cases.

I had the ameristep man cave blind. Largest blind made..can stand up and shoot. Could fit an entire family in it. Sold it for a 100 bucks otherwise woulda got it to you in the puddle. I had 4 others but sold them. The ameristep material is the best imo as it is soft material and not loud. No velcro either.

I agree with Cyrus on the ameristep. Its not just the quality but also the amount you use it to what you want to spend. Also if Susan kicks you out for a few days it will be a good doghouse for you and Ebony.
Also how much use in the future will you use it at home . You have the patience to sit Elmer , I however need more Velcro straps to make me sit still long enough in my chair.
I still have 2 smaller ones if worse comes to worse. I got a trail cam pic but not very good one of the A holes driving by after they stole it in a walk in only area...
Im thinking it has to be someone who has hunted here before . Ford truck is all i can make of the pic.
Frigg'n Thieves eh.

Well sitting in my livingroom..with BRAND NEW Ameristep ELEMENT ground blind set up ! Soft exterior material seems quality.
Lots of shooting positions, windows.strong well thought out entrance zipper.windows use toggles..no ripping velcro.
I can enter , exit pretty well...lots of room to stand up straight .shooting ports on all sides..no ripped window material.
Im going to use seam sealer on the seams tommorrow.then spray it down with silicon waterproofing...few cans ought to do it ?
The container said 75 ? inches x 75 inches but since its 5 sided its actually bigger..lots of room...67 inches high?
Hope my Alberta hunter host friend thinks its ok ? It actually was ordered in by outfitter out east who didnt like it..huh?
I will use my own tent stakes..these are flimsy..
Only thing I didnt like was $$$$$$$ PRICE..HOWEVER buy once cry once..
I will update all on my HUNTER HOST reaction.
Thank you all for your immediate helpful responses, noticed and appreciated.
Cheers
Steven
