For those scenarios when a typical portable ground blind is just too small, Ameristep has released the Care Taker Magnum. Boasting all the ruggedness and versatility of a portable unit, and weighing only 14-pounds total, the Care Taker Magnum still manages a 59x59-inch footprint when set up, with a 66-inch interior height and shooting width. This makes it big enough for two bowhunters to draw and shoot accurately, without fear of a wall getting in the way. At rest, on the other hand, the blind easily fits three. 

To conceal occupants from view of their quarry, Mossy Oak Break-up Country covers not only the entire blind, but the shoot-through mesh windows as well. Within, a black ShadowGuard coating ensures shadows and silhouettes don't give one away. Finally, the blind sports a Durashell Plus fabric shell with a matte finish, a rugged Spider Hub frame, a Silent Toggle triangular window system, brush-in loops for natural foliage and an easy-access zippered door.

For more information on this portable-yet-spacious blind, which can be folded to fit in a 6x42-inch carry bag, please visit ameristep.com. MSRP: $139.99
