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.
I used the blind this year and it was great. I would recommend it as a good tool.

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!

Warmer – The heavy canvas material protects you from the wind during cold weather.
More Comfortable – The padded backrest keeps you comfortable while you wait.
Dry – The bottom of the blind is padded for extra comfort and to keep cold and moisture from seeping into the blind.
Well Camouflaged – The layout blind camo is a quick and easy way to hide yourself from the birdseye view of the ducks above you. Add a little natural camouflage to the blind, and you’re set to go!
Well Designed for Overhead Viewing – The layout blind hides you from view without blocking your view of the sky overhead.
Convenient – The storage pockets inside give you room to store your gun, ammo, flags, and other gear.
Quick and Easy to Set Up – Setting up your layout blind is much easier than digging a pit (which in some states is illegal). You can spend less time getting ready to hunt and more time shooting ducks.
Tips for setting up a decoy spread for goose hunting.
Why Goose Hunt with Decoys?
The right decoy placement will help hide your goose blind.
A decoy spread attracts larger flocks of geese and helps hide your goose blind. Geese are less easily fooled as they age and as the hunting season progresses. Without effective camouflage techniques or other ways of detracting attention away from your blind, they can easily spot you and veer away.
a
As the season progresses, geese wise up to shoddy decoys, so use decoys that are as realistic as you can afford—full-bodied, if possible, or a mix of full-bodied decoys, shells, and silhouettes. Realistic goose decoys will increase the success rate of your hunting.
Tips for Decoy Spread Placement
You can start by setting up your decoys in the traditional U, V, J, or circle pattern, but alter the pattern slightly to give it a more natural look.
a
Pay attention to the wind. Never face all your decoys into the wind. This position signals that the geese or ducks are ready for takeoff. Face the decoys in various directions to the wind at all different angles.
a
Factor in a “landing zone” (such as the open curve of the “U” or “J” shape) where you hope the incoming birds will land. Arrange your decoys around this open space to try to control where the birds land.
a
Add a small family group of geese downwind of the other decoys, as if they’ve just landed and are making their way towards the rest of the group.
a
Set up your layout blind upwind of the landing zone and right in the thick of your decoys. The decoys will help hide your blind and keep the birds from landing on top of you. If possible, place the blind in a dip to keep a low profile. The hunting blind should be within easy range of the landing zone. Take into account that the geese may not land directly in the landing zone.
a
Geese find safety in numbers, so they will be more likely to land in areas where…
There are plenty of other geese.
The geese are relaxed and naturally feeding (not wary, alarmed, or all looking up).
There is movement (use flags or motion stakes to simulate movement).
The more decoys you use, the easier it will be for the birds to spot them as they approach the field. More decoys attract larger flocks of geese. The larger the flock you hope to attract, the more decoys you’ll need to set out. For smaller, family groups of geese, two to four dozen decoys should be adequate. For larger flocks of geese (over 100 geese), you may need over 100 decoys.
As any hunter knows, these decoy tips may or may not work on any given hunt. Depending on the weather, location, how the geese are responding to your decoy spread, and other factors, you may need to change up your game plan. Good luck goose hunting!
Duck hunting blinds offer protection, concealment, and quick setup.
Layout blinds are a hunter’s (other) best friend. They offer protection, concealment, and quick and easy setup.
a
Protection from the wind
Duck season is when the colder weather starts to set in. Even though a duck blind doesn’t seem like it would be very warm, it’s better than getting caught out in the cold wind and rain. Laydown blinds offer some measure of protection and take the edge off of the cold weather. The more comfortable you are, the easier it will be to wait until you’ve got the perfect shot.
a
Concealment from the ducks
A duck’s eyesight is far superior to a human’s, which means you either need to freeze at the first hint of an approaching flock or use a duck hunting blind to conceal your movements. Most hunters opt for a duck blind. It allows them to shift positions, get ready to shoot, and scratch their noses.
a
Quick setup
Setting up a waterfowl blind is quicker and easier than digging a pit and gathering all of your camouflage. With a camouflaged duck blind, you’ve already got a head start. Just slip some natural vegetation into the stubble straps, and you’re ready for the action.
If you buy a new toy or car, you want to keep it looking as clean and sharp as possible for as long as you can, right? Not so with your new hunting blind. It may seem crazy to throw mud on your brand new blind, but when it comes to hunting, the more natural something looks and smells, the better.
a
No matter how shine-proof your new blind is, it never hurts to give it a more natural, dull appearance. The best way to do that is to use some of nature’s camouflage: mud.
Here’s How:
Set up your new blind now, if you haven’t already. It’s always good to get in a little practice before the actual hunt.
Ok, now it’s time to get down and dirty. Grab a bucket and fill it with mud (or make your own mud paste with dirt and water…you get the idea).
Dip an old paintbrush in your mud bucket and start mudding your new blind.
Once you get a good overall coat, let the mud dry completely. This could take anywhere from several hours to a full day.
Once it’s dry, brush off excess dirt from your blind. The mud will permeate the fibers in your blind and give it a dull finish that won’t spook game. The mud bath will also help to eliminate the “new” smell on your blind.
More Tips
Another trick to break in a new blind is to let it sit out in your backyard for a few days before the hunt to let it air out and take on the natural scent of the great outdoors. The shine will also begin to dull naturally if you let your blind sit outside long enough.
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.
a
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.
a
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.
