It’s a sign I’m getting old and soft.
But I really like those pop up ground blinds. You can spread out, drink your coffee. Keep the rain off your head. Not gonna fall out of it and break your neck.
I’d never fooled with them until I hunted with outdoor obsession in Kentucky last year.
I’ve drank the koolaide on ground blinds.
My other stands are ladders. My portable setup is a little millennium tree seat.
Ladders and ground blinds. The domain of the old guys. Comfort matters.

I used to only climb, then it was lock ons, then ladders. I now own 4 ground blinds. I may just be getting lazy.

Good man AC. I shoot some good bucks out of ground blinds. As long as they are in the right place they are great

I have even more out now as my dang broken ankle still hasnt healed right and climbing hurts like an SOB

Also my wife can come on an afternoon hunt and we are both comfortable. They are especially GREAT when its raining!

And you can knock you off a piece while y'all are hunting

Safe too.

We have around 15 shooting houses but I seldom sit in any of them. My favorite is a tripod

Welp Beadles talked me into getting some ground blinds.

Effective! Have had several bow shots inside 10 yards. ALSo, a propane heater is awesome! Got to be some benefit to gettin old!

They are the beesknees...i really likem i ustah put out about 25 per year for our bowhunters in texas. I learned to love them as long as they are set up correctly.

I’ve been hunting from blinds for years . I usually have a Buddy heater a comfy chair shooting sticks and my pack full of drinks and snacks. Can sit all day and even stretch out if I want

Which blinds are y’all buying?

I have one I bought from Sportmans Guide that sits on top of a metal platform I really like.

Mine is just the Ameristep. The boxy one. I got one of the teepee models too. It’s not as roomy and comfortable.
Wife bought mine for me year or 2 back for Christmas. I leave it out November to February, then bring it in. It’s helped me hunt on some cold, drizzly days.

Best thing ever made for ground blinds is the Caldwell Fieldpod. It's a tripod that you can adjust to your chair height with a gun rest,it firmly swivels side to side and pivots up and down. Dang nice for road crossings because the gun is up and ready to shoot. I got one several years ago so my kids would have a good rest but since then have gotten a couple more.

I only like em when Iam hunting in one direction only with one window open,

How I do it, 2 windows at most.
Mine you can open a small window or the big window.
I like the small window.

I give it 2 thumbs up. I bought one for the kid to use on the youth hunt....It's nice. I'll use it when I hunt out of blinds/shooting houses in the future.

Been using them off and on for years but never found one that would last more than a few months in the elements. It's been like buying disposable yet expensive stands. I bought one yesterday from Rural King that I am hopeful will last longer. It is a Muddy and is made of a heavier duty canvas like material.

A used pre-primos double bull fell into my hands last year for a decent price. That thing is awesome. There was a broken part and promos sent a new part for $5.00 shipped to the door. Very happy with the build. It will get pulled after February hunt. The plan is to go spray a coat or two of scotch Gaurd on it after it’s been out there a couple weeks and is dry.
