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

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.

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.

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'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.Both blinds that I listed are very wide. The Big Mikes line has some super wide ones but your going to spend some money on it.

I can use the doghouse one for archery, but everything has to be just right. I never use it if I have room for the hub blind and don't have to pack it a half mile. If I don't have room or have to pack it in I will grudgingly use the doghouse. For firearms I just grab whatever is convenient and a lot of times that is the chair blind.

This is my first year using ground blinds. Used a Primos Double Bull Bullpen blind so it has plenty of room for me and my wife with wide shooting area. Was able to get her a shot on a 3 pt whitetail at 15.9 yards and it had no clue we were there even with being on public National Forrest Land. We brushed the blind in really well and only set it up a day early. Also have two ameristep Doghouse blinds set up but too tight of space for my wife to easily draw. Bullpen allows you to sit towards back of blind out of the sunlight and lots of room to draw bow. Look for slider windows and stay away from loud Velcro and Zippers. Good Luck!
Yes, you want to sit toward the back. I'm going to paint my bow flat black. Wearing black like a BDU coat and boonie hat with black face paint really helps.
