Pop up blinds

[elkdrivemenuts]

Do any of you use pop up blinds? I was thinking of getting one so my boys could go with me during early archery this year. Do any of them have any kind of scent control our do you have to watch the wind while you use them? Any particular features to look for? Thanks for the help.

I use mine for turkey hunting also deer and elk.   I have had no problems with deer.   I habe had deer walk within 10 feet of it and not know it us there.  The thing is.   If your hunting private land set it up weeks before season so tje animals get accustom to it.   Public land is hard unless you can brush it in really well so it blends in with the back ground.  Spray it down with scent control of you want.   Just make sure if the wind is coming from the back close your windows.   Should control your scent.   Good lucl

Go big. More room is better.

I have one, I have a chair blind and I have a hub blind.  Get a big hub blind if more than one person. 

For one person using a gun I really like the chair blind, but way too small for bow or crossbow.  The pop up. I think is called a doghouse, is neither fish nor fowl, I loan it a lot and people have success in it.  It can be tricky shooting a bow out of it.

We have used them for years, during Muzzy Elk.
Killed several elk out of them.

I set them up day or two before. And brush them in. Each blind bag has a bottle of scent away in the bag. Before I get in I spray the blind down.

Two gallon zip. Locks to pee in.
No food left in the blind. But I stock with water or pop.

I try to tuck them in a dark shaded corner. Have the sun behind the blind.  They get hot so pick cool spots.

I would not buy a expensive one. 119.00 dollar area.

Here is one brushed in.

Bought my first one this year. Would of like a bigger one but for $60 I couldn't pass it up.

I have this blind http://www.barronettblinds.com/ground-blinds  Good size and faily inexpensive.  Just bought this one http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/hunting-blinds/ground-blinds-accessories%7C/pc/104791680/c/104702580/sc/104365080/cabelas-the-zonz-specialist-ground-blind-mossy-oak-obsession/2459221.uts a bit shorter but I can stand up in it and I am 6'2". What I do like about this one is that no zipper or valcro on the on the windows.  So silent if you need to take one down while out hunting.

I'm 6'4", worried Abbott standing up to shoot when needed, guess I could always shoot from my knees if needed. I'll set up on private land so security not a concern. Where the animals come or off the timber typically it would be a cross wind that had a tendency to swirl a bit is why I wondered about scent control

Is a fabulous blind chair.  Independently infinitely adjustable legs, big enough to set a binocular and/or range finder down on and not have it tumble off when you are sitting on it.  But it weighs a ton.  I can shot my bow off it as well or better than standing.

I don't stand either and shoot seated.  I practice that way too.

I'm 6'2 with a 30 inch draw and I couldn't shoot inside my popup blind. I couldn't reach full draw, I donated it to a youth contest on here. A hub style was the only kind I could get to full draw in.

I have one that works great it is big enough for me and my son to hunt out of together and we have had deer very close. They seem to have decent scent control but I always put mine downwind of where I think the deer will come. I have never used it for elk just deer and it works great. I want to get a new one with larger shooting windows my son and I have both hit the bottom edge of the blind with arrows shooting at  deer. It does not work out very well. So that is one thing I would look for in a new blind more room to shoot through
