Ron, that hidden hunter looks nice. I have A Rue photography blind that I used a lot when I was doing wildlife photography. I believe it is made by the same company. There is no blind that will set up faster, unless you can just blink your eyes to set it up.

I haven't use any other blind, except the Rue (Hidden Hunter) and Yukon Tracks--haven't hunted from this one, yet. I like them both.

Northwoods has been making photography blinds for Leonard Rue the famous Wildlife photographer for a number of years.

Rue also sells the photography blinds which have special windows for the cameras on his web site. He states this about the HH blinds...

  "This is the only blind we know of that can be erected in less than 30 seconds and be completely ready to use in under 2 minutes. The Rue Ultimate..."

Another question for the yukon tracks enforcer elite users...

How would one be 100% sure he is purchasing the new version with the magnet/button/clip windows rather then the older zipper model?

For those that own the newest version where can you purchase it?

Everyone do yourself a favor and check out luckys hunting blinds,
I found the link by accident two years ago and watched the video, for me it was a god send-  600 denier outer cover if you want it.Just open your arms and it is set up.-  I am large he makes them anyway you want.  I have been extremly pleased
I sit on a stool and shoot 56 '-62" no problem. just build a high one.

Here is the web site:

Earlier GroundMax Vision:
What length recurve/selfbow/longbow did you use? 64"

Do you cant the bow or shoot verticle?
Had to cant, now have a 60" bow

How big of a person are you and how did you fit in the blind? 5'8", sit in lawn chair

How many people/gear can/did you fit?
Two is crowded with gear

How easy is it to setup?
Yes, especially after reading the instructions.

What style blind do you prefer?
Pop-up

What are pros/cons of the blind? (material, glare, noise, dimensionsm, etc)
Appears to be very well thought out, magnets & peg loops to secure the drop-down windows.

Sewing was absolutely horrible,
spent hours sewing up loose
stitching at magnet pouches
& on carry-bag

How are the shooting windows adjusted/positioned? (too low/too high,
better for taller/shorter person, etc)
Screens can be slid back & forth, flaps are held up with magnets & peg-loops

Great blind for one person, hope they
hired a better seamstress, give her more rice
and fish balls

OK question for the weekend boys and girls!

Hub Hunters (those who have hunted out of a hub style blind)... The dimensions of the blinds are very similar to my current dog house blind...but that isn't a hub blind.  

Do the hub blinds offer more room b/c it seems like they extend out past the ground dimensions?  And are the measurments for hub blinds listed for the widest part or the floor dimensions?

Yes the hub blinds offer more room my old dog house was very tight on space with any size bow.

Deadbolt,
I have the matrix recurve model and shoot longbows from 58" to 62" out of it, off the double bull stool with no limb interference.

check out the double bull dvds, you will get some great tips and also see how they set up inside the blinds and watch Brooks shoot his recurves and longbows out of them.
