Lucky's blinds vs Dark horse
« on: March 12, 2008, 03:40:00 PM »
I understand that Lucky's makes a very good blind. Any thoughts? Or do I just go with the Dark Horse recurve model (coming soon?) and don't look back?

I just so happen to own both of them....the Lucky's was my first portable blind(chamomeleon camo),it's the first blind they ever built tall enough for a traditional shooter(proto type)it works very good,a little awkward to carry around but I killed some critters out of it & still have it & use it some when the need arises but my double bulls are my go to blinds & see alot more woods time than my Luck's blind....wishes ya lived a little closer I'd let ya try em both out & see which one you liked better....don't get em wrong Lucky's make's a darn good blind but the DB works a little better for me....

I have the Lucky's Texas Special, great blind for those extended or all day sits. Echo what bluegrassbowhunter said about portability. Kind of a pain, but can be done. I've used it many times for turkeys. Really great for a longbow shooter!

Never tried a Lucky, but the DB's are some mighty sweet blinds and the new Dark Horse looks like it takes the cake. Shawn

I like it because it looks like a safari suit, the camel pattern on that is, I will give it a try this summer.  I'm going to test it on some deer, I will hide the roofline, but hungrily decides on branched, and see some reactions.  It should be a fun time.

Of course it will be an unfair, there's a feeder about 10 yd. away.  About a chance see if they pick a different route.

The first blind I ever had was a Lucky Blind. It was fine until a big wind came along.

I use Northwoods blinds now, very quick and easy set up and take down, easy carry, and it's American made.
