Hey fellas.
After doing hours of research, I have decided to go the way of a fiberglass blind to replace my deteriorating stand next year.
I have come to conclusion that Boss Game Blinds are the way to go. I was quoted about $2800 OTD for a 4x6 standard w/ full ranch pkg. on a 8 ft. tower. Think thats a fair deal?
Reason I picked Boss is due their reputation, being and ALL fiber-glass blind incl. floor, and their lifetime guarantee. I am still open for suggestions though, thats a lot of money to cough up:/
Would it be better if I wait for a different time of the year to get a better deal? Or is their even better product out there for a better price?

I got an Atascosa 5x5 on a 10 or 12 ft tower that I think is head and shoulders above the Boss stands for considerably less money than that at the TTHA show this year. They make pretty good deals there and I will buy another if I need one.

Having said that, shot placement is key and there is only one level of dead. Us east Texans can't afford turquoise and elk ivories for jewelry. So we use hog tushes and coon peckers.

I sure hope Atascosa has figured out how to keep paint on their blinds cause the paint will come off them in just about a year or so. I would take a Boss or a T-Box Blind fiberglass over an Atascosa. T-Box were cheaper than Boss the last time I checked on pricing and way cheaper than Atascosa.

I just bought a 5 x 7 Boss on an 8' platform with the ranch package for $2850. Check around their dealers...most do not want to carry that inventory for 8 more months.

My dad passed a place between Dallas and Ennis that had 2 story blinds. They were damaged new large septic tanks that they cut the damaged ends off of, built a floor w/carpet and put metal stairs in. There were fold down water tight windows and 360 degree visibility. The interior was sound proofed with a rubber coating similar to Rino-Lining. The ground level had a swinging door you could park a 4 wheeler in. He said the guy was asking $2,500 but you had to haul them. I don't know the name of the place, hopefully someone on here knows who I am talking about.

I think that is way overpriced. I have a resource that builds 4 x 6 blinds with insulation and corrugated tin as the skin of the blind, glass windows for about a third of that price. PM me for his contact info. I have several of these blinds, the first one I put out is 8 years old and looks like the day I put it out except for the paint fading slightly. Hey fellas.
After doing hours of research, I have decided to go the way of a fiberglass blind to replace my deteriorating stand next year.
I have come to conclusion that Boss Game Blinds are the way to go. I was quoted about $2800 OTD for a 4x6 standard w/ full ranch pkg. on a 8 ft. tower. Think thats a fair deal?
Reason I picked Boss is due their reputation, being and ALL fiber-glass blind incl. floor, and their lifetime guarantee. I am still open for suggestions though, thats a lot of money to cough up:/

T-Box were cheaper than Boss the last time I checked on pricing and way cheaper than Atascosa. Strange there are a few 16 & 20 footers on our lease in south Texas that have been in place for 11 years and have 0 rust or leaks and no paint chipping. These are one of the best blinds I have seen.
