New Ground Blind recomendations

[DonE911]

I need a new ground blind this year. My older pop up model took a beating in 2 wind storms this past seson. It still sets up fine, but has some small rips in the roof and some torn off tent stake loops. I dont recall the model, but im sure it came from walmart.

This is going to be used on private land so theft won't be an issue.

I generally set the ground blind up before bow season and leave it up until seasons end, so ultra portable isn't that important. I'd like a bigger blind that is roomy enough inside for 2 hunters in chairs( not stools ), 2 tripods and a small fold up table in between. It needs to be rain proof but not insulated, we get a little bit of snow ( usually no more than a few inches ) so strong enough to hold a lite snow. I don't need it to be see thru ( or see out ) on four sides, but I'm not against that.

Anyone have experience with something similar that they would recommend to others?

Couple years ago I pulled a bear tag in Michigan and decided I wanted to hunt on the ground. After looking at a lot of blinds I settled on a Barronett Ox5. Really nice blind. Both my son and I sat for hours in it comfortably in chairs. Also built a shooting bench that sat between us. Check them out. Little pricey but worth it in my opinion.

If you’re leaving it in one spot for the season, this is the ticket. I have one mounted to a platform that I move around with my tractor but you can set it up on the ground.

Wheels, I followed the link and that is an interesting set up. I use my tractor for everything including my hunting buggy. Is this a sturdy enough deal that you can set it up once, leave it all season and later pic it up with forks and store it ( still set up ) in a pole barn until next season? Does all that gillie materia hold water and smell musty for a while? I looked at the hay bale blind, and it has the appearance of a heavy wall tent that would be suitable for that as well. Looks like you could just camp in it.

I leave it set up and store it in the barn. It’s a very sturdy metal frame, you can remove the cover and leave the frame if you want to but mine is attached to a platform. The cover is almost like a rubber material on the inside, the outer material dries quickly so no odor or must.
