I am so fed up with my Barronet grounder 350.  Don't have the cash right now but I am seriously interested in the Hidden Hunter. I'm still concerned with the rods that lay on the ground with them especially since I got my 6 year old boy that like to hunt with me. some areas I set up are just not flat ground.  Hopefully they also come out with the other predator colors.

Same concern I have. Do the wires stick up at all on uneven ground? I tried to order a Woodland green camo HH from the factory,they said they were out of material,check back in around a month.Turkey season is over in a month,so I grabbed the Baronett.

We are using the bush in a bag from Big Jim this year, regrettably I am not going to have a left hand Thunderchild to with this year. I have had good luck using cedar clumps with no camo in the past, adding the bush in a bag and our huntmor chairs should give  us comfort plus portability.

I have a double Bull matrix 360 and have shot deer and turkey from it with everything from a 54" recurve up to a 66" hill longbow. I have owned Ameristep and they dont hold up well.

Nick you should have checked with me, I HAD a woodland Green in stock, I don't have it now, I just shipped it out.     :dunno:  

As for concerns with the rods on the ground it's not a problem. The rods sink in the ground enough that you hardly know they're there. It the winter I get a carpet rem-nit from a carpet store and cut it to shape for the floor. It helps keep the feet warm..    

I went out yesterday and had the opportunity to kill a bird but passed. I had SIX jakes and three hen's milling around my decoys. It's too early in the season to shoot a Jake, I'm holding out for a Longbeard.

The only thing I didnt liek about the hidden hunter was the rods on the ground beneath my feet. Other than that the quality was excellent.  Mike

I have two original Double Bull Matrix blinds and one DB Dark Horse.  Great blinds and you can find them around if you look.  I can shoot my 66" Big River with a slight cant while kneeling.

Ron, I had emailed you and didn't get an answer.My wife called HH direct and they said they were out of stock and it would be about a month before they got new material.She asked about other dealers and they said that you were out of stock as well. Figures,it's about my luck that you had one,LOL! I would have jumped on the free shipping offer.I'll check with you next year when the new camo is out.

Geez, those Hidden Hunter blind sure "look nice." Like I said, I've had all of them, including the dark horse which is a great blind, but the HH is just not for me. To each their own. For me, I need portable, quiet, and durable, in that order. The HH is far from portable if you take a lot of other stuff with you. I think that possibly the smaller model could have worked for me but HH didn't think it would fit the bill for me. Oh well. Someone will eventually design the perfect blind!!!

I have both a DB and a HH.  To be completely honest, I prefer the Hidden Hunter.  Flap in the wind? No way!  I don't even notice the rods in the floor area and the material is extremely tough.  Those that prefer the DB, probably have their reasons and can hunt from anything they want, but don't ever think that the HH is lower quality.  It's just not so.
