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.
