It’s never too late to add one, so I’m looking to see which brand/model of ground blinds you guys use. I would need one that’s large enough for two adults TIA

IkemanTX · 11-13-2021, 08:52 PM

Im assuming pre-set private?
If so, i would recommend any brand of the new see-through blinds. I got to sit in one last year, and HOLY COW…. So cool.

If you are wanting something more mobile or for public, i would just get a couple of good ghillie suits. 2 would be about the same cost as a good blind, and they are just as effective, honestly.

My ghillie is all torn up from years of ozone and lots of thorny brush snagging it, so i’m about to buy one too at the end of the season.

Double bull blinds, pricey but huge .

1longshot · 11-14-2021, 08:14 AM

Primos Double Bull, Rhino and Redneck soft sided blind would have to be one of my choices, wish I could have made it to one of the TTHA shows to pick up one of the Redneck blinds.

hogslayer78 · 11-14-2021, 08:34 AM

Rhino 600

wes122984 · 11-14-2021, 08:36 AM

Got one of these recently and I’m impressed. Way cheaper than the other see through blinds.

I use a Primos Double Bull. Fits two easily if using gun or compound. I wouldn’t be able to fit two when using my longbow or recurve.

ByronB · 11-14-2021, 07:25 PM

I have a Double Bull Double Wide that works well for two people.

Preacher Man · 11-14-2021, 07:29 PM

Those 180 degree pop ups look interesting. Think they’re called “see-through” blinds. Or something like

686PPP · 11-15-2021, 08:14 AM

Another vote for Double Bull. I built a deck about 2 feet high to put mine on. Dont like critters crawling in.

Popup or Permanent?

The Double Bull Double Wide Deluxe are great blinds. I also have a Xenek(sponsor here) and it is great as well. Might check with them as a month or so ago they were selling some discounted because of nearly unoticeable blemishes.

I recently got a couple of the Xenek Sniper blinds and am really impressed especially with the window setup. Ironically they are sale today on Camofire for half price. Whatever you get make sure it's material thickness is a minimum 300 deneer and treat with a UV and water proof agent as soon as you can. I've got a couple of temp blinds made of a 20' cattle panel wrapped with a tarp that work really wall. I use these an areas where cattle are as they can be quite destructive at times. Deer usually get adjusted to a new blind in a few days but I'd give them atleast a week if you can as they'll be eyeing it pretty hard and if they pickup on you inside might spook them off the area for awhile.

I ordered a Guide Gear blind this year & it is really nice. Love the window design & it's got lots of room.

bigt6450 · 11-15-2021, 10:27 AM

I have a double bull, and I've been really disappointed in it. All the rubber/plastic hooks that hold the windows up have broken (most without even being used). I have to use gear ties to keep all my windows shut up now.

M.LUNA · 11-15-2021, 11:36 AM

Atwoods has some new brand I have never heard of called Duke & Boone or something like that. Anyhow I bought a 3 person hub blind for like $60 bucks. Plenty of room... probably not the best for a bow blnd as the windows are horizontal V's but they are well worth the price especially in a quick pinch.

sotx · 11-15-2021, 11:43 AM

Hunted out of these up in Canada. Outstanding ground blind. The thing I liked was the windows are magnetic and silent opening and closing.

FVR JR · 11-15-2021, 11:48 AM

If permanent, krivoman!

HogCommander · 11-15-2021, 11:59 AM

Barronett Big Cat 350 if you need a big one...plenty of room for 3 people.

Really enjoyed hunting out of our new blind this weekend. Academy Game Winner Stealth View HUB blind. Very roomy for 2, silent window slide system, 3 sided window areas see-through from inside, blackout curtain for 2 side windows, straps for brushing in on top and bottom, carry bag with shoulder straps, $149.

I have the ox 5 one. Both of these blinds are pretty good size

dipstick105 · 11-16-2021, 05:33 AM

I have a Hawk Down & Out and it is really nice. Heavy duty, easy to put up, built well, windows are magnetic covers, and also have shoot thru screen if needed. I hunt two people in mine with no issues

Hogmauler · 11-16-2021, 06:19 AM

Barronette Ox 5. And they make a Double Ox as well I believe. Set it up and spray it down with anti u v water proof spray and your good to go. Had it for two years now. Pop ups are like gun safes. Buy bigger than you need.

XENEK · 01-27-2022, 10:24 AM

Thanks for the feedback - yes, there were some on sale on Camofire a while back - these were blinds with cosmetic blemishes.

We currently have Sniper and Ascent blinds with blemishes on our site. We have priced these to move them and get them out of the warehouse ASAP. If you're OK with some blemishes (please read in product description), you can save $200 on each blind.

https://huntxenek.com/shop/

Snipers with blems are nearly 60% off.
Ascents with blems are over 40% off
