Never been a ground blind guy but where I am going to be hunting in Texas, ground blinds are the only option. I need one that can handle two people. What are y'all using?

I have the ameristep doghouse. It's really a single person unit. I'm starting to think it's better hunting out of than a tree. Way more concealment! I'm in West Michigan, it gets cold and windy. I like having the option of ground or tree. But I'm liking the versatility of a ground setup.

Not a fan overall either, but they have their place. Always get one bigger than you think you need. Especially for two people
Budget option that's great- Baronett Big mike or Pentagon. They actually have windows low enough and large for archery purposes. Some of the biggest pop up blinds I've seen.
Not budget friendly but solid choice Primos double bull
Just remember, none of them are as durable as they claim to be. It's very easy to rip that stretched material.

Barronett Big Mike. Buy a cargo net that they use to secure cargo in a pickup bed at the auto parts store, run this over the top. Easy way to place foliage on the blind to brush it in.

I bought one of the Ameri-step Care Taker two man blinds. It has shoot thru windows that can be replaced easily. It’s easy to set up but I haven’t hunted out of it yet. I bought it to hunt an area that doesn’t have any good climber trees. I bought a folding chair that fits in the bag with the blind. I’ll see how it goes this season.
Not a huge ground blind user, but I have 2 of these, and have enjoyed their ease of use and setup. My kids use them and have had success out of them. They don't break the bank either and have held up well.

I am surprised by all the barronett suggestions. I had never even heard of them until today. I do like the option of being able to shoot standing up in their taller blinds.

I hunted from the ground my first several years of bowhunting, because I didn't have the extra cash for a stand and climbing ladder in college. When I started treestand hunting, I found it had some advantages but was not the end all. A natural ground blind made in advance can be very effective and doesn't cost a thing but some sweat equity. The past several years I have hunted from the ground with a Double Bull folding chair and simply locating a good place to burrow into the natural terrain.....with some selective trimming as needed.
I really didn't get into popup blinds until I got serious about turkey hunting with my bow and ended up with a Baronette Big Cat 350. It is big and well made, but their heavy-duty OX series are some of the best on the market for setting them up and leaving them in place for the season. Last fall I picked up a Baronetted Grounder 250 for more mobile hunting as it is a bit smaller and lighter. A few years ago, I purchased a Red Neck Outfitter bale blind that I have on the back of our home property and that is really nice as well.....just heavy duty and not what you would consider mobile unless you have farm equipment to move it around. Hopefully this gives you a broader range of ideas to consider for hunting from the ground.
Here is a view out the window of one of my blinds while spring hunting a private parcel on a logging road. A spring storm took down some trees, so a friend of the landowner came over with his JD to help clear things out. It was soon gone.....

I had a browning and loved it until I left it in a snowstorm and snow collapsed it and broke several rods
