Shopping for a new blind what's your favorite

I’ve become very partial to the see-through type blinds. I prefer the ones with 2 sides see though and 2 solid, as I don’t like being back light at all.
My personal favorite is 3-4 years old so it maybe differnt now but it’s a double bull. Have some cheapies too that are pretty dang good IMO.

I have a Double Bull prototype with 2 walls that are full Advantage leafy mesh. Its 25+ years old from when they first started. I love how much you can see out if it. No one else seemed to agree back then. For once I was ahead of my time :^)
I have a couple others and a tall Matrix is my go-to because I shoot a longbow. It got caught in a big snow storm and broke a rod this fall. Need to get on that.

None! I hate sitting in those blinds, but much easier to get turkeys close. The ones with see through sides are more enjoyable to hunt from. Used one of those once but don’t own one. That will be the next blind style I buy.

I prefer the vertical(in the corner) openings for shooting the bow, and just smaller openings elsewhere for checking the surroundings. It just seems that those type models are no longer wanted and made.

I have shot a lot of toms out of this Double bull with the wide front window and, my go to blind with the recurve.

but if weight is an issue, my old T-2 works great

Hands down for the public I hunt……..…Ghost Blind. Unless it’s raining, then my cheap Ameristep due to its weight. I must sit in a small folding chair due to my knees. I’ve had pop-ups spook birds in every state I hunted WI, MO, KS, IL, MI & IN, even from 200 yards out. Especially in late seasons. But never a single bird by my Ghost Blind in 20 years. Hell I’ve had them walk up within 6” while I watched thru the hand slot.

Double bull T5 is my fav. T2 if packing in very far. Neither of those are available anymore unless you can find used. If I were buying new, I'd be getting one of the see-through blinds to try.

Won a Pentagon blind at a local RMEF banquet. Forget who makes it. Haven’t used it yet, but set it up in the barn and man it’s got a lot of room!

I've come to really hate blinds becuase they are all too short. I have to dig a hole in the ground in order to have enough height to shoot my bow. Kinda like KUIU pants that have the little short zipper. I had to give my KUIU pans to my wife becuase she has to take her pants down and squat to pee anyway.

I’ve only used Double Bull T5s and a Barronett Big Mike blinds. The T5 is an awesome blind. The Big Mike, not so much. I also bought a Cage blind, but haven’t set it up yet. It looks bulletproof and should work extremely well for a more longer term option, if you’re considering leaving it set up for longer periods. It’s definitely not a run-n-gun blind, more of a set it & forget it type system. Looking forward to giving it a try this spring. They’re around 6 bills, which isn’t too bad, considering how heavy duty they are, IMO.

Troy, is the Cage blind made of a flame-resistant material?

My 25 year old Double Bull still works.
In a pinch I have stacked the HS strut roll up panels 2X for bowhunting. Work well even when mobile.
