Looking for the best hunting blind for you? Here are some guidelines on what to look for when you’re ready to shop for a portable hunting blind.

Size and Dimensions

The Turret XL Blind is large enough for two hunters or for bringing the kids.

If you hunt with other people, is there enough room for more than one hunter, including all of your gear? Tight quarters can cramp your shot.

Size also affects your profile. A low-profile blind is better for use in areas with low-lying vegetation. In the woods and areas with taller vegetation, a high profile is easy enough to hide.

Camouflage Patterns

Ground blinds come in all different camouflage patterns. Most are an “all-purpose” camo to blend in with a variety of the most typical hunting areas. Others are specific to the landscape, such as grasslands or prairie, desert or dry areas, and snow. Match the camouflage to the natural vegetation of your area. Then customize the camo pattern by brushing in the blind with branches, grass, and local vegetation.

The 360 Hunting Blind eliminates blind spots with visibility all the way around.

Visibility

Some blinds (such as a chair blind) are designed with windows on three sides. These are best when you only need to see out the front and sides. Other blinds have visibility on all sides with a combination of large mesh windows, slotted windows, and portal windows. A few blinds even have a zippered roof hatch for waterfowl hunting and improved ventilation. The coveted 360 ground blind has one window all the way around the blind for an obstructed view in any direction.

Weight

If you pack in to your hunting spot, consider the weight of the blind you’ll be carrying, along with the weight of all your hunting gear and supplies. You can easily find a hunting blind under 15 pounds. Look for one that folds into a backpack or carry bag for hands-free carrying.

Hide from the turkeys with a chair blind!

Why Use a Ground Blind?

There are a lot of benefits to turkey hunting from a ground blind. Sitting in a blind is much more comfortable than lying on your stomach in the field or leaning against a tree. Plus, it’s never much fun to sit in the rain or the cold wind, but with a hunting blind, you can stay out in the field while other hunters head home to escape the bad weather.

Stay Hidden

Set up some decoys near the blind and fill the stubble straps with nearby vegetation to distract the turkeys from your blind. Some hunters say that unlike deer, turkeys will strut within inches of their blind without paying it the least bit of attention.

Bring the Kids

Ground blinds are also great for taking kids out with you. Younger kids have the freedom to move around or take a nap inside the blind. Ground blinds are also great for using video cameras. You can easily film the hunt from inside the blind.

KillZone Chair Hunting Blind

Chair Blind Reviews

Super cool blind. I’m a outdoors photography fan, and I have a bunch of friends that loves hunting, the deer season just started, I got me the Canon 300 mm f/2.8 (super cool lens) and my biggest concern of this product was the inside space, Well let me tell you some thing, you have plenty for a long lens, monopod, pro camera and your camera bag. This weekend I’ll go to test it in a hunting ranch in Mexico, to try it in real live and I’m sure it will perform fantastic. The assembly’s system couldn’t be easier “dumb proof”, just pool the blind out of it bag, pull and play. For wild life photography is a great asset.

Nice two man blind for the money. I have not had a chance to use it hunting this year. Purchased it after hunting season. But I used a one man version from a competitor and found it to be a must for deer hunting. I like the KillZone material better and that is why I purchased their brand.

Fast delivery, easy setup, teardown and packing very quick, great wind break, shoot out 4 sides, all you need is a chair to sit on and maybe a cargo tarp for flooring. Excellent product. Great price.

nice blind for the price. one thing is that I have a 30 inch draw length and it’s just to big for this size blind, i have to keep the back window open for my draw arm to go out, so if you have a long draw keep that in mind. other than that it’s great for crossbow and firearms!

With all the different kinds of hunting blinds out there, we’ve put together a few tips to help make it easier to choose which blind will work best for your hunting style. Here are a few insights into the world of hunting blinds.

Of all the popular types of ground blinds, here are the four that we’re going to cover here: hub style blinds, pop up blinds, layout blinds, and chair blinds.

Hub Style Blinds

a


Hub Style Blind

Hub style blinds give you the greatest amount of “fidget” room when the waiting makes you restless. You’re free to move around from window to window without attracting the attention of wildlife. Your shadow and movement is swallowed up by the black-out interior and camouflage screens.

You also get great visibility, with large and small windows on all sides of the blind. On the downside, its more roomy interior makes the hub style blind more difficult to conceal, so if you’re trying to keep a low profile in an open area, it may not be the best choice for you.

a

Pop Up Blinds

Pop up blinds are easy to set up and easy to carry to your hunting spot. Like the hub style blind, you can move around without blowing your cover. You still get great visibility on all sides of the cover, but the pop up blinds are generally a bit smaller than the hub style, which makes them a little easier to conceal.

a

Layout Blinds

Layout blinds are popular for hunting waterfowl. With their low profile and small size, it’s easier to conceal the blind in open fields and stubble. You also get a great overhead view and shooting range, and since you’re lying down, you won’t get a crick in your neck from looking overhead, like you would in a sit-down blind.

a

Chair Blinds

The greatest asset of chair blinds is their convenience. Instead of carrying a blind and chair separately, you’ve got it all in one compact case. If you’re looking to cut down on the equipment you have to haul in, check out these chair blinds. You can get a smaller one for single hunters or a larger one for two hunters. Since you can only see out the front and sides, chair blinds are best for setups that don’t require 360-degree visibility.
