Which camo pattern would you choose for southern michigan hickory, maple, oak woods.
I would recommend the "Predator Deception Green"

Thanks Ron. That certainly would blend in well.
Ron nailed it. I love my Hidden Hunter. I spent about 6 hours in it Saturday :clapper:
When it gets cold and nasty, I cut a piece of carpet to shape for the floor. Fire up my Mr. buddy heater. Lean back in a very comfortable chair and watch the inside of my eyelids.

These are very good blinds. I have multiple pop-ups but these are my favorites.
I just ordered one today, looking forward to it from all the comments I've heard. Looks and sounds like it's easy to set up. I got the Deception Green. Should be a good blind for the northern woods.

Wensel and LaClair. I would say "highly endorsed". Thanks so much.
Gonna have one of these one day, especially as I get older....LOL
I just got mine today, set up and takedown is a snap !
Easiest blind I've ever used AND the rods on the floor are NO problem !!!
Like they say " I wish I would've done it years ago "

Apparently they are big enough for two. There was no other vehicles in the parking lot so I went and hunted near one that was set up facing an alfalfa field, I was hunting a trail behind using a cedar stub screen for cover. Then I heard above me "Is there any coffee left? I need cup to wash down these damn dry cinnamon rolls." "Sure we have almost half a thermos left." Apparently someone had dropped them off. They are not sound proof.
Ron does the blind come with the shoot thru screens for the advertised price or do they have to be purchased separately?
How much room in there for a longer bow? Kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but if I could shoot a 66 inch bow out of it that would be great!

Randy is good to talk to, just give him a call, and they're out of Iron Mountain Michigan. How far is that from you ? You could maybe go see him. I've heard of guys using 66 inch Bows out of them. I suppose it would depend on what kind of chair you use.
Ron would also be helpful, you could give him a call.

I have a double bull blind in predator green....I am thinking of buying the hidden hunter because they look easy to set up and take down and an all around great blind..question is will the predator fall grey work in evergreen mixed forest ? It looks like it will work great when the snow flies...was thinking with the other blind I have(double bull matrix ) in green/brown pattern the hidden hunter fall grey would be a great second blind so I have two patterns...Was curious though that if I want this to be my go to blind for ALL locations will it blend well in BC forests. in predator fall grey...
I've been considering one of these myself. I see a lot of questions about wheather a 66" bow can be shot out of these, well how about my 68"?
TTT
I have been interested in these blinds for quite some time now, but one thing I can't get past is the rods on the floor. Are they a problem on uneven ground?
Are the blinds constructed to be left in the field all season?
Waiting to hear from experts who have actually used them.
Thanks.
What's the longest bow you have shot out of a hidden hunter blind?
Thanks
Carl
Longbow that is !
Some one has to know for him. He asked me about a 68 " but I've never had one. The longest I've shot out of it is a 62 ", out of any of my blinds.
Carl
Do you shoot thru the screens? Are the screens removable or zip down?
Thanks,
Hidden hunter blinds, have Velcro on the screens. I didn't get a camo pattern on the screens. You don't have to worry about the Velcro, because you're not moving or replacing them in the woods. Most guys take them out when turkey hunting. I have had enough double bull blinds, that I purchased extra screens for and I am making camo screens for my Hidden hunter blind. you can take your screens out, IF you brush them in really well. Wear black, wear a black glove on your bow hand. And place a small branch on the inside in the center of the window with other branches on the outside along the edges of the window. So that when a deer comes up or is coming up, you can take the one in the center away. Carefully of course. But, I've had mine really well brushed in, and my glasses still gave me away. In my wife's words " she is looking straight at your face" the deer did circle back behind us, and then came around the front again. But as they say she was on Redalert !!!
Any kind of ground hunting is just a lot of fun !
Carl
How do they compare is cost with the Double Bull? I have had a Double Bull for many years and like it. It is in the preditor tan color and had taken several turkeys from it. A friend had a blind that had Velcro for the screens and when removing them, they made a lot of noise - just a thought.
I also have put a piece of carpet on the ground and a small heater. Sure nice when the weather is bad. Can still spend the entire day in the blind with comfort.
I feel cramped in mine like it is not wide enough. I also have a recurve model double bull and a big mikes canvas.
I shoot my 66" David Miller hill style bow out of my with HH blind room to spare. I don't have a 68" bow so I couldn't tell you for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if you could use it

As I pointed out before, there's not going to be many times when you are taking the screens out of the blind in the woods. You do that stuff at home. I know the Hidden hunter blind, is about the easiest to set up and take down that I've ever had. The thing I like about it also, they're not made overseas (China). And the material they use is not a shiny surface.
But as they say each to their own. Ron looks pretty comfortable in his hidden hunter . And he's not exactly a munchkin !!!
And I'm not either !
I think it's all what you get used to. If double bull was still made in America 15 miles from my home like it was, I'm probably still have a double bull. But the ease of setting up a hidden hunter, and the quality of the product is all developed by the attitude of the makers. There's no doubt about it it's a good product.

Which model do you use sir? There are 3 different sizes available. Curious which one you're using.

Carl, at times a fella can get a little too comfortable in those blinds. ;)

The largest one 6X6 (actually 6'3" tall) the others are more for gun hunters
Here's a good video on the HH blinds

Thank you Mr. LaClair
Thank you Mr. LaClair
Ron,
I haven't tried it with my little buddy in it yet. But here in Minnesota, if you popped the blind up, and you step inside, it feels like springtime again ! Well not quite but the 10° difference it really makes a difference.
I say the same thing that I've heard a lot of people say " why did I wait so long, I should've done this five years ago"
It's about the same thing with the classic bow you make Ron,
I should have never canceled my order. But, too much poundage now.
I'm only shooting between 35# and 40#
If I had a bow that was too long for the Hidden Hunter Blind, it would be just a good excuse to order a new shorter bow, right Ron !
Carl
