I know this topic gets overcooked this time of year but I need some quality advice. What is the absolute best blind for big guys (I'm 6'7" and 260)? At my size money is not as much of an issue as quality, durability and fit are. If you have specific negatives concerning what seems to be a popular choice, please spell them out a little bit. Thanks in advance for sharing some hard earned knowledge. Cheers!!
P.S. Weight will not be an issue, we can drive them to the waters edge.

GHG Ground force. I'm 6'4" and my buddy that turned me on to then is 6'6". I don't think you'll find one bigger. I had an Avery Finisher and the Ground Force is bigger.

Im 6'6" 275lbs. I bought 2 blinds on Andrew from Ducks-r-Us that are HUGE and light. They have 4 c-lock pins that hold it together...not sure of the make, but they are perfect for big men.

Without a doubt the best bang for ur buck would be the XL goose buster by Rodgers Sporting Goods. I know several guys ur size that love'em. They don't make'em any bigger.....

This thing is a tank. I'm 6'5" and will probably get something smaller next year. I've had it 2 years with about 50 hunts. It will need replacing after this year. Blind always dropped off in field or at pond.
