What ground blind do you like and why?

[Blank]

Good looking blind. By zipping all the way up to the center, it makes it easy to set up.

 

[Cantshoot]

I like the double bulls because they seem to block out light better keeping you hidden when game is close.

I also believe the new fad of see through blinds to be a joke!

I have a old Cabela's lighting set pop up. The camo patern is perfect for hunting out here. 2 guys and room to draw or shoot. I believe they call it western zonz camo.

I have been using the Baronnett OX 5. I really like this blind. It has been the best blind I have hunted from. I has so far been very durable and has been through some pretty stiff winds unscathed. it is nice and dark inside and I really like the the way the front window adjusts and how big or small you can adjust the window. also there is a lot space inside.

Just curious as to why?

If sun is shinning in from side or behind all movements are highlighted. At least that is my opinion

I'm a tall guy shooting a longbow so need the height. I run the Barronett Big Cat

Another vote for Barronett. I've abused the heck out of them, left them out in the field for a year or more, and other than a little fading of the camo, and kicking out families of mice, they hold up incredibly well. Their hubs and poles are extremely tough, and although a little on the heavy side, IME they are the best value for a rugged blind you can throw in the bed of your pickup.

The OX5 is a very roomy and tall blind, and at 6'1 I can stand up inside without having to bend over. I've hunted 3 people out of this blind with plenty of room for packs, snacks, and gear. The window openings are also controlled with stout cords and slides instead of zippers which provides both very quiet adjustment and long term reliability.

When I buy another blind it will be another Barronett.

Anyone have experience with the Tidewe blinds?

Waders yes, blinds now

I am kind of surprised they haven’t been brought up yet on this thread I bought one and really like it. It’s probably not as durable maybe as some of the high dollar blinds but it works for what I need it for. My son loves it because u can see so much better around u instead of just peaking out the windows. Some people say that if the sun is shining on u, animals can bust u. I haven’t had that issue.

Just ordered a Barronett Big Mike on Amazon that’s on sale right now for $138, they’re $229 in store. Not expecting quality of a double bull, but I figured it would be worth a try for the price. The corner windows look like they’ll work well for bow hunting turkeys

Works great for turkey. The reason I originally bought mine was for turkey hunting with the longbow

I bought a 5 hub blind a few years ago. Set up wasn't too bad, but break down is a complete pain in the ass. Yeah, I've watched the video over, and over and over again. It now lives in its box under my bunk at camp.

 

[SloppyJ]

I've used a few at this point hunting with my son. I snagged a Bog a couple years back on black friday for about half off from Scheels. It's my favorite.

It was on sale again last year and I should have got another one. Instead I got one from Cabelas and it's okay too.

Get one that's bigger than you think you need. With chairs, packs, and two people in there, room is tight.

I was looking at the ameristep wide bottom brickhouse, it seems roomy and light, but not sure of durability. I’m sure I’ll have to kneel no matter what, so setting it up and practicing is solid advice, thanks.

I’ve used natural blinds to ambush, but this area I’m getting into is shallow ravened foothills vegetated with sparsely placed junipers. Hoping a blind will mask a little scent more than the junipers did last year.

I've got a Brickhouse that has been up for the past four years and has survived several 50+ MPH winds over the years. Just bought another to replace a lightweight Rino blind that lasted less than one season.

The brick house was on camo fire today for $125.99. Only remember because I thought of brick shit house.

 

[TheDoublR]

I use an Ameristep and can't complain. They are light so I can haul it in a ways. It fits two comfortably in camp chairs and thee but that is kinda of tight. Also I think I paid $80 for mine 10 years ago and the durability has been fine.

Shot my small pronghorn from a snow fence blind, I mean some of that 4 ft tall wooden stuff for sale at hardware stores. We doubled it to be taller than me.
I've also hunted from a pit blind in the sage, didn't get a shot but had animals close. You have to check for snakes in a pit blind though .
