That's the price. I wouldn't pay that but I'm sure there are people who would.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Might as well buy a portable building so you can sleep in the blind and wake up to shoot deer.

The material used was harvested from the third ring of Saturn. You just can't beat that kind of quality.

The front kind of looks like a vending machine.

curiosity, what do you think it should cost?
I just bought an Atascosa Wildlife metal blind, insulated with a 10 foot metal stand... they might go for more than you think. That blind looks big. The one I bought wasn't cheap, but not that high either.

I guess there's a market for it so good on them. I'm just used to grabbing plywood, 2x4s and case of beer. They don't turn out pretty but total investment is a couple hundred bucks. Or hunt out of a $150 popup. $3500 covers my lease dues for 3+ years. Basically I'm jealous of folks who can afford those ...

I don't think it's all that overpriced... It is 6x6 with all those glass archery windows, those are not cheap. My 8x6 Boss Game Systems fiberglass with a half hex front was $3,800, which I thought was a decent price.
I actually do have a bed in mine, sleep, wake up, make coffee and shoot. 😀 I did not get the hot chick option, maybe next time.

we just build our own - we end up with fairly nice blinds for about $500 each

I built a blind a few years ago. It was nice, we called it the Taj Ma Hog !! 4x6 elevated blind that was well built and completely tight. I think I had about $1100 in it, plus the end of my middle finger which I cut off with my table saw being stupid. I got lucky in the fact that my insurance covered it at 100% due to some other injuries that had maxed out my out of pocket that year. Had that not been the case, it would have been one of the most expensive deer blinds in history after hand surgery! Cost is relative. I'm to the point where I'd rather pay an arm and a leg rather than cut off a finger Just sayin!!

My blind came free with the lease!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

My blind came free with the lease! OSHA approved. Is that a "Safety wire" strung across the back? There's a few "free" blinds that came with my place that look similar. I just wired open the windows on one and called it owl conservation.

When I got on my current lease in Lampasas, I was short on time. So decided I’d drive down to the ranch and buy a blind on the way. Looked at every blind between Snyder and the ranch and decided I was gonna build one.
Bought about $1000 in supplies and after working for a couple hours each day after work, I had a nice comfortable 8x4 blind that my entire family can fit in.
Wouldn’t hesitate to build another. No blind out there is worth $3,000 IMO. If it’s worth it to you, have at it. Not judging anyone. But I will take that $2,000 left over and buy another gun.

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
