Love them for turkeys, hate taking them down....

Mine are all currently Muddy blinds.......middle of the road, I'd guess, price-wise.

Anyone make a hub blind that ACTUALLY is easy to take down? I mean, that more times than not you get it folded up right on the first try??

I am losing confidence in taking them down and fear I will start just leaving them out there!

Buy a "Lucky s " Blind
1 min. take down or set up.

Real men don't use blinds.......They hunker down in the bushes !!!

Just gotta not be skeered that your gonna break em..

I think you just have to be smarter than the blind.

Did you try hugging it?

What is the opposite of hugging? That's what I want to do at time of take down.......

Walleyed......I have permanent hard blinds for deer on my place with heaters etc.......for turks, often, I have places in the middle of fields with no cover or trees and a blind is deadly.....and yes, it keeps me dry if raining!

Frankly, carrying and deploying a blind is FAR tougher than running and gunning without one, IMO..........but it has applications. If I hunt turks 10 days this year, one or two will be in a blind........

That Lucky Blind looks about right regarding ease of deployment.........Thanks!

My Lucky blind is The Best hunting purchase I've made.

Love Mine

I’ve used those Lucky Blinds and my buddy and his cousin liked them so much that they bought 5 of them. They had a bear crawl into one and it bent one of the shooting rails. It was easily fixed. Great product well worth the price

Try using a Ghost Blind I was very skeptical if they would work Well I can assure you they really look every bit to be part of what ever vegetation you put them in And I never had anything get spooked by one They are easy ad quick to put up take down And in today's world they are not all that expensive One draw back is no roof But with a little effort you could rig one so it had overhead cover

Chair blind if you hunt solo

I've got a lucky blind and love it also.shot alot of turkeys and deer out of it.probably had it 25 years.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that hates tearing down blinds, they never cooperate with me, I try and try and eventually somehow manage to get it folded up the right way. Maybe the blind knows when I’m on the verge of snapping and it’s life is hanging by a thread! I hardly ever use them for that reason, they will keep you dry where you’d otherwise get soaked I guess. As I get older it’s harder to carry all the stuff you “think” you need lol, I find I’m leaving more stuff in the truck these days.

I have no problem taking down any of my pop up blinds..... but putting them up can be a challenge... but not always. I have quite a few. Mostly Barronnett with a Primal or Ameri Step also. I have a old Cabelas pop up that we use for an outhouse in hunting camps. I enjoy using a blind the older I get. A heater on a frosty morn make it enjoyable.

I'd only use a blind if I were to set it up at a permanent spot and leave it for a while. Then during takedown it would be at my leisure and not right after a hunt. Not rushing and taking my time. I still would rather sit against a tree. Gives me more options to move to different spots.

I've been hunting these birds for close to 40 years.theres disadvantages to tents but the advantages outweigh them.you can stay dry get away with more movement.the older I get the harder it is for me to sit still for long periods of time without something hurting or getting cramps. Like I said I love mine and wouldn't be without it.i don't recall how many birds i killed that came in silent without you knowing they were there.if I wouldn't of had a tent probably wouldn't killed near as many.do whatever works for you.

I have permanent blinds set up on historic turkey and deer hunting spots.
It's a real challenge for me to get those pop up blinds set up. But the one good thing about them Is when they go to heck those fiber glass stays make great hagz bracket stakes. I just tore one down and I think there are 14 stays.
If I run and gun the running part Is really a slow walk. LOl But I need a fold up stool because If I get down getting up Is a real challenge. Don't get old.

I tried hunting from a blind one season. But when the sun came up there were near a dozen wasp's camped out around the ceiling. I left the wasps to enjoy the blind without my presence. Havent turkey hunted from one till this year I tried again in a permanent box blind same story, killed 3 wasps climbing in and had others that I couldnt get at staring me down. Made it 15 minutes and I decided to go back to sitting against a tree.

VERY GOOD FOR BOW, NOT REALLY NECESSARY FOR GUN.

maybe I am missing something

we have 2 blinds

both have a eye bolt on each side and one on the top

a loop of paracord on each eye bolt grab the corner and pull quick on the cord to set up

to take down if you get everything out you can pop them in about the same

if you are short popping the roof from the inside can help

if you stake 2 sides by the cord attached to the eye bolt you could just pull on the other two sides and it would be almost like when you have 2 people

I never staked but tied to small trees

on the take down pop the 2 walls opposite the door and the roof as you step out the door

it is easier and faster with 2 people
