Hunting Blind with Gobbler lounger chair

Is there a hunting blind that will work good with the gobbler lounger type chairs?   I really like the lounger chairs for their easy transport and comfort. 

The alps deception blind looks promising, but it looks too small for two hunters. 

Any suggestions?

Its been a while since i looked into them,but I think with the alps you just put 2 alps blinds together if you want to hunt with 2 people. I think they are made for use with the low chairs like gobbler loungers also.

Barronett blinds. Look at the Ox5. It's 5 sided with tons of space.

They have tons of window options, with different blind models.

I know the Primos Double Bull Shack Attack blind will unzip the lower panel and zip down the upper panel making it usable with a low sitting turkey chair. More than enough room for 2. Sadly, I don't see them offered anymore.

Have you considered just placing a camo screen in front of your ground lounger? It won't get you in out of inclement weather; however, that's what I do and have yet to spook a turkey while hiding any movement necessary concerning calls, guns, etc.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. 

We usually do have a camo screen set up in front of us.  My son is 13 and I let him do all of the calling.  I am just a chaperone.  We are hunting a 40 acre field with wooded sides surrounding 3 sides. 

We have been sitting on the edge of the field in the wood line and the turkeys are mostly coming out of the side where we cannot set up due to property lines.  They then feed towards the middle of the field. 

Last night we had 3 gobblers come up directly behind us so our backside was not protected well from them seeing our profile or our movement.  At 15 yards they spooked and went backwards and around us. 

I am pretty hesitant to try reaping this field with a turkey fan and my 13 year old son. 

My other option besides a blind is to have a screen set up behind us.  My 13 year old is pretty good about sitting still and minimizing his movement, but he is still only 13 years old.  The big thing is he never backs out of a hunt, never does not want to go and he is never late so he is a pretty good hunting partner.

The Alps deception works well with one of the low profile turkey chairs or with a self supporting vest. I bought the deception for when I take my 4 year old. My wife and I can both fit it in it as well. It's a little crowded with both of us, but we don't mind haha.

Yesterday I used a double bull stakeout ground blind with my Cabelas gobbler lounger. This blind was ideal for using this type turkey chair. I imagine it works work with any similar type low to the ground chair.

I sometimes use a Ameristep 2 man blind to set up in new places, especially if I have to hunt public ground. My only complaint is it only has a 250 lb. weight capacity and that does not seem near enough for 2 people. An adult and a child if they are both thin should do fine I would think though.

I use a (Primos) Double Bull Stake out blind and is designed to be used with a gobbler lounger. Took a couple of birds with it last year on Run & Gun Hunts. Worked out great!
