Need some ideas on which blinds to look at, and which ones to avoid. Big enough for me, a blind chair and a small heater. Thought I would start looking now, deer season will be here before you know it.

TideWe blinds are a good value and comes in different sizes bough one for elk hunting I liked it so much I bought a second one to cover another wallow. Put a piece of old carpet I cut to fit the bottom to keep it quiet. Easy up and take down comes in a carry bag pretty universal.
Check them out.

Tidwe
But I really only care that the windows are sliders and not velcro. I had an Ameristep that I got on clearance at Tractor Supply that I really liked but it blew away in a bad storm a few years ago. Replaced with a Tidewe and have no complaints.
Just happy to be here.

I like them as big as I can get. The Double Bull blinds from the past with the 360 visual and shooting with around continuous windows. To many dead spots and no shooting areas in most of all those cheap blinds. I like large blinds when bow hunting.

I have several. Different manufacturers.
Things I look for: 1. Magnet connections for window covers. 2. Easy quiet entrance. 3. Quiet zippers. 3. Room enough to stand up. 4. Hub style. (Learn how to put up and take down) 5. Eye on outside of hub for tie down. (Learn how to stake down correctly. Not too loose, not too tight.) 6.. Multiple points for attaching vegetation.
If I am able, I tie up a tarp over top of the blind for extra protection from rain and snow. Snow will collapse a blind.
And one nice thing I learned is to wear black in the blind. If I am gonna hunt I wear black pants, coat, head cover, gloves, everything.
And end of every season, bring home, wash, and redcoat in spray silicone waterproofing in the yard. I also put unscented soap on the zippers to keep them operating smooth. If you will take care of your blinds, they will last a long time.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

I have a cage hunting blind. Well worth the money. I used cheaper blinds for years and was constantly replacing them. I’ve been money ahead by buying a better quality blind. Eric

I used to say same thing until I bought one, brushed it in, and arrowed a doe at 20 yds. Have killed several from a blind with a rifle since. I have two Primos blinds. But, if I buy another it will be a Tidewe. I like em as Ive got older. Made a hook-type bow holder that hangs from center of blind. This was back in 2021 when I 1st set one up. The deer are about 25 yds from the blind... ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/08/full-11603-264995-1000001323.jpg)
