Well, received money for Christmas. I want to buy a new pop up blind.  Looking for opinions.

Been looking at the Breeze, but you would have to brush it in good.

I have an older Double Bull that I like.  Not as enamored with the newer version offered by Primus. My next one might be a hidden hunter.

I have one the older Double Bulls and I love it. If didnt have it I would be interested in the Hidden Hunter.

If you want the best look at Hidden Hunter blinds. They are made in the U S by hunters for hunters.

Here's a review on the Outdoor TV show "Discovering"

 
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

Like the looks of hidden hunter.  What about room for draw length? Also the support bars that lie on the ground arethey a problem?

Any pop ups that are comparable to an old Bull?

I have an older Dbl. Bull matrix 360 but if I were to get another ground blind it would be the hidden hunter. The setup looks a lot faster on that than the Dbl. Bull and would carry easier.

I've had Double Bull's since 2000. Started out with their basic model that year and upgraded over the years as they came out with newer improved(vision) models.....I've now had the Darkhorse since they came out(pre Primos ownership).....awesome blinds and awesome guys to deal with!!!!

I've hunted out of a lot of other's blinds and have never seen anything that comes close to the overall package you get in a DB...silent quality!

If I had to buy another blind....I don't see any reason not to go with DB again...

I've been looking for awhile and my research tells me the old DB's were awesome. My buddy has a new one and I was not impressed at all. So I'm going with the hidden hunter. Well built in the US and the set up looks slicker than any blind I've seen.

Hidden Hunter and Double Bull seems to be taking the most votes.  What about the ease of entering or exiting either of these?

Sorry but one more question.  Im in the position where I hunt to be able to leave the blind up all season or as long as I want to leave it in one spot.  In your opinion Which blind will fare the best with fading and the effects of the elements.

I have a Rhino Blind that I've used for years. Excellent quality! The Predator camo blends well in any background.

The Double Bull Dark Horse is now about $250. How is it if shooting a 66" longbow?

The Hidden Hunter 6x6 seems like it would be better for a longbow shooter, it is just pricier. Looks like quality though.

I had some issues with my hidden hunter. One was when the wind picked up as it does often here in WY the side towards the wind would collapse in. I could push the poles back out but they seemed to bend a little easy. The other was I am not sure how or why this happend, maybe my blind got wet in back of truck, but when I opened it last season the fabric had slid down the poles and when I tried to open it the fabric tore. It split down between two of the poles. The bad part was it took me twice trying to get it to open to realize what had happened and it tore in two different locations. I have not heared this happening to any other hidden hunter blind. When it did work it was a good blind to shoot longbows out of and the poles on the ground really didnt bother me at all. It was the quickest set up for a blind that I have ever tried. Just the fabric issue has stopped me from buying another.
