When I’m deer hunting, 99% of the time it is from a saddle up in a tree. When I am in a blind, the other 1% of the time, it is typically if someone is filming with me, or if I’m out with a new hunter.<\/p>\n
When turkey hunting, though, I am primarily in a blind. I have grand aspirations to improve my run and gun game and learn to hunt from stumps and trees, but for now I enjoy the comfort of the blind\u2014especially at 6 in the morning.<\/p>\n
My previous hunting blind was a Sniper brand blind. It was a rather small pop up I had inherited. Last November I had left it set up overnight, and the next day about 10 inches of snow had fallen. Both roof supports had snapped under the pressure.<\/p>\n
So, last week I decided to purchase a new pop up blind. After quite a bit of research looking at Ameristep, Summit, Rhino, and several other brands, the clear frontrunner was the Double Bull series of blinds by Primos.<\/p>\n
Primos has been pushing their even newer Double Bull Surround View models with 270- and 360-degree fields of view. Those models feature one-way netting around most of the blind. While the increased field of view would be nice, I had concerns about water and wind getting in and my scent getting out (when deer hunting). Thus, I chose to go with the more traditional Primos Double Bull Deluxe Go Ground Blind.<\/p>\n
Primos includes a lifetime warranty, and the price reflects that, so it is more expensive relative to other blinds. The model I decided on, the Deluxe Go Ground Blind, retails for $400. Granted, the price is considerable. However, I try to buy quality gear that will hold up to years of heavy use and variable weather as much as possible. The lifetime warranty and reputation for fast and accommodating customer service are factors that helped me decide.<\/p>\n
Like most modern blinds, it does feature a hub system. This works by having you pop the wall and ceiling panels into place. This can be tricky the first time, so you will want to practice once or twice before hitting the woods. I was able to have the blind assembled in 2 minutes and would have no issue doing it in the low light of an early morning. The blind includes 4 stakes to drive it in which include a triangle tab on the side so it can be done without a hammer.<\/p>\n
