If I buy a manufactured blind I will probably get a Muddy.

We love our Redneck Blinds. Redneck has been and is the enclosed blind leader and innovator. Their service and products are top notch. We have Magnum Gun blinds and Predators which we use for gun hunting, I like them equally. We do not bow hunt any longer but their Predator blinds would be a good fit for bow hunting.
Heres a blind I am looking at http://www.freudenthalmfg.com/misc/hunting-blinds.php these are priced at 750.00 without a window in door.Apx 3/16 thick,they say are alot thicker than maverick blinds.I was thinking maybe someone in the area might check them out and give their opinion

Redneck. Ordering another one this year
Get window covers. If you keep the windows shut, it’s amazing how scent free they are

Fiberglas blinds are notorious for having creaky floors in cold weather. I suggest you check out the 360 Hunting Blinds before you buy, they are much quieter than fiberglass, with better windows. Be sure to look at the model with the archery windows. I've hunted many blinds and these are one of the best, they sell themselves once you sit in one. The dealers set up a display at a lot of the outdoor shows.

Rednecks are pretty nice if you can swing the $. We have three and they would be my choice for bowhunting as they are scent tight. I really like them for everything except cold weather (freezing and below). The windows will fog if you hunt in cold weather and especially if you try and run a heater with the windows closed. Rubbed toothpaste on the windows this year and it kept the windows clear while running heaters in cold weather. Pretty neat trick my buddy found on Youtube. If that solves the problem they are close to perfect IMO.
We have a couple 360 Blinds, they are nice but I had to replace the windows with clear plexiglass. The tinted windows are DARK and hard to see out of at first and let light. Was a cheap and easy fix, took me about 15 minutes after getting the precut plexiglass. Pretty nice blinds for the money though. They are pretty air tight as well and the fogging windows is about the same as the Rednecks. They all have their pros and cons.

Can you elaborate on the toothpaste trick?

I sprayed Rednecks anti-fog on my windows this fall/early winter and had no fogging on cold days. I did not have my heater on though so I haven't seen it work with the heater on yet. If it does prevent fogging even when using the heater, like you say it is a big deal! Has anyone tried the anti-fog spray with the gas heater on?

We run 3 rednecks (1 magnum and to predators). Our number one archery spot uses one. For archery, I prefer 5’ legs rather than 10 if shots are going be close. I’ve never been busted in the stand. In the winter, we avoid the fogging by keeping one window open. We can comfortably hunt into the single digits without firing up the heater.
So far it has been working. Definitely better that the RainX or any of the other fixes that we tried previously.
