Which do you guys use and prefer. Ive only hunted in one maybe two or 3 times in my life and it was one my dad bought in the 90's. Looking to purchase one to try and get out there in the crap weather this weekend. Rut is on in my area and after this weekends mishap i NEED to be in the woods. I will be bow hunting out of it 99% of the time. Thanks in advance fellas.

I would only suggest to buy a big one. I sometimes spend all day in one by myself and the extra room is nice. I have a 3 person blind that I can stand up straight in. I can also comfortably hunt in there with my son. I got mine at Gander Mountain for around $200, which it has been well worth the price.

Avoid velcro windows.

I have a Gorilla blind and love it!!

I own a ground blind and hunted out of it 3 times, the best thing to do is let it sit in the area u gonna hunt for a week or more so deer get use to it and they will come in close and check it out.

Just got the 2 person one from gander mtn. Think it was on sale for 149$ no Velcro windows which is nice and it's very roomy for one person. Can fit two people but it does get a little tight. Also cut me a bunch of little pine saplings and brushed it in nice. It's got the loops for holding your brush. Took the deer a couple days To get used to it but now they don't pay it much attention.

I bought one so I could once again bowhunt. The first thing I learned is that the arrow length makes it very hard to rotate to shoot out a side window. Get the biggest you can. Mine is big but still hard to rotate and not catch the broadhead on the side. The other thing I learned is that they are hot, especially on a day with little wind.

I bowhunted though for the first time in three years. Didn't get a shot, but I was there trying. Not as much fun a s hunting with a climber, but it beat sitting in a shooting house AGAIN, watching a food plot.

I bought a Primos years ago with the magnet windows and i still use it today its great for turkey hunting . I wish i had bought 5 more because i haven't seen another blind that uses the magnets , its very quiet and roomy .

^^^^^This. And if you will be hunting by yourself, get a 2-man. They all seem to run a size small. I have a 2-man and couldn't imagine getting two people into it.

To add detail to what has been said. Make sure it is at least 60' by 60' at minimum if you are going to bow hunt out of it. Bigger is definitely better. Anything else will be too small to draw and comfortably shoot without worrying about your limbs hitting side walls/roof.

I have an Ameristep doghouse blind. Hunted out of it for the first time over the weekend and with the warm and humid air it would sweat at night and drip on you in the early morning. No big deal but when it first happened I was wondering where the water was coming from. If I buy another one I'm going to get one with the floor in it so to keep unwanted guests like snakes out of it.

I looked at that one, field and stream has it on sale for 79.99. I thought about the floor issue as well, especially with the warm weather. I wouldnt want to shat my pants prior to a hunt crawling into a blind with a snake in it.

imo ,,, there is not a two man "pop-up" . they may say two man but they aint . for two get a hub !!

if you get a pop up and plan to leave it for a time . buy some clear cheap tubing it slide around the rods that hold the top up .

if you don't at some point a rods will break and tear a hole in the blind

I have the Primos Club and Club XL blinds. Not expensive - about $100-$150. Club is a tight fit for 2 but the XL model is plenty big enough for 2. The windows have cover which zips down or can be held by elastic loops. The window also have a mesh covering held in by Velcro. I take the mesh out as I think Velcro is one of the worst things to bring into the woods. When buying hunting clothing, I always check to make sure there is no Velcro for the pockets, etc. I hate that stuff.

I use them when I don't wanna get rained on too much. I hunt a lot of public land and have set them up and see & killed deer that day out of them. Just gotta have a good backdrop.

i only use Guide Gear Deluxe , cheaper , last just as long , all popup needs to be spray seal

My son and I are going to build one next month on the edge of a pasture. Gonna use bull wire sections, metal posts and gotta find some black tarp/material to cover it up with, then camo netting over that. Thinkin its gonna turn out pretty good.

My dad use to have an expensive primos blind and everytime u turned around he was replacing the fiberglass poles, I bought a Ameristep 3man this year from walmart"yea walmart" 70 bucks and havent had a single issue with it. I put it up in the morning before daylight making all kinds of racket about 730 or so i had seven does all around me and never paid me a bit of attention! It has velcro mesh screens but i pull them down every morning i set in it and still see deer its doesnt seem to bother them at all!!!

Another trick. Use artificial Christmas tree limbs to brush it in. Most ends have hooks/bends and they will stay where you lash them in any storm.
