[threeunder]

Anyone have experience with both of these blinds?

If so, which do you prefer?  Why?

Thanks

Ill look forward to this thread. i just ordered the Snake eyes venom 375 after my blind was stolen Thursday. Now I can regret not going with the big Mikes.

Aww man!  Hate that some dirt bag stole your blind.  Yeah, very interested in watching this one unfold..

I left it out one time on our 200 acres private lot to come back the next morning and it was gone with my 3 decoys I left inside. I was more confused that anything at 4 am. Spent the winter gluing feathers on those decoys. Live and learn. I did use a tarp this morning and brought in a nice Tom 3 jakes and a hen but the hen was ahead and i couldnt move without getting busted they were only 10 yards away. it was fun though. Thanks for starting the thread.

Never any experience with the two you mentioned Ken, but I have the snake eyes 375 and love it. Best blind I've found for the money. God bless.

[threeunder]

Oh man!  I believe I need to check that one out also....

[monsterbuck]

If you can find one Ken, seems to me they have a better material than the other two. I had one of the Grounder 350, but sold it. And bought the 375. God bless.

I read this thread and went with it based on monster bucks 2 nd post. They were harder to find but the big auction had them for $150 I noticed the sold out yesterday. If you decide you want the snake eyes 375 pm me and I'll send a link to another vendor I found but they are quite a bit more there. Wish I knew you were looking.

Man,that sucks having your blind stolen. Kind of one of the reasons I went with a Big Mike,it was 1/3-1/2 the price of the other blinds tall enough for a longbow that I found.Sad,but I kind of expect mine to dissapear one day as well.I stash my decoys on my route in and out just so they don't go with the blind if someone steals it.Had enough treestands stolen over the years to risk leaving the dekes in the blind. As for as the blind goes the big Mike works fine for me.I have room to shoot a 70" longbow with room to spare.The windows are set perfect for me for a seated shot.I'm going to get a Hidden Hunter for next year,seems like it would work great for moving setups on hung up birds.I'll leave the big Mike setup on the main place I hunt and use the HH on other properties I hunt.

Well the blind that was stolen was a cheaper ameristep but still $70 lost and a ruined Hunt Week. That's why I think the hubs are good for me easy to setup take down and has a back carry case. All of these seem to setup and take down easily. I think my second choice would have been the big mike with my 68" bow.
