Best ground blind to kill a turkey from

[Josh H]

Hey guys,

Do you have a favorite ground blind that you turkey hunt from? (While I know many of you make a natural blind, I am specifically talking about the kind you have to buy.)

I need it tall enough to shoot a 62" recurve from and big enough for 2.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you know it, could you give me an approximate price as well?

Thanks for being a great community that helps novice traditional hunters like me.

The "Grounder 350" (can't remember the maker). 84" tall and big enough to stand and move around when you tire of sitting. Accommodates 2 easily and would fit 3. Anywhere from $95 to $118. Orscheln's Farm and home has them and often have them on sale.

I just found a tall folding directors chair at Cabela's that will be perfect for it. Some complain about the window height but I have no problem with them.

Bass pro shop's "Blackout" blind.  Tall enough for any bow with low window bottoms.  I have used them for years in my guide service and they hold up well.  I have only had to replace one and that was because a bear ate it.

1/3 the cost of Double Bull and in my opinion a better tradbow blind.

Double bull hands down, I've got a different one that is big enough but super annoying

Shoot Dalton Lewis (huskyarcher) a PM. He has a favorite and I think he kills them with a long bow.

I have several models of double bull blinds. My all time favorite is the matrix. The matrix is not in production anymore, but occasionally appear in the classifieds. Good luck with your search.

I have a Double Bull Matrix recurve model and it is awesome!

I like hidden hunter blinds. I have moved away from the center hub blinds. I got tired of having to put them back up after every high wind or snow storm.

I'm going to try my Ghost Blind.

X2, can't beat them or the price. Been using the for years and the hold up well and have lasted just as long as any of the others I've tried. I've tried the exspensive blinds and they all hold up about the same IMO.

I have had luck sitting behind a treestand umbrella.  Light, portable, cheap and effective.

Ive used an Ameristep for the past two years, and done well out of it with a 64in longbow. Last year i took a barronett big cat, and while absolutely huge it was annoying and noisy in the wind.

This year im using a Barronett big mike. It still has tons of room, an the material is tighter to the frame so much less movement in the wind.

I love my Hidden Hunter! I bought it specifically for hunting turkeys out of. Besides the ample bow limb clearance, it is the only blind that I know of that has windows low enough to the ground to shoot something really close; 5 yards or less.

When I turkey hunt, I put my decoys very close to my blind. All the hub blinds that I know of have their windows so high that you can't clear the bottom edge unless the animal is 10 yards away or more.

Darren are you speaking from you actual hunting out of the hub blinds or from what you hear on here? Just curious

I have no idea how many turkeys I have shot from 5yds and even closer from several different hub types of blinds is why I'm asking.

I have a Baronett big mike setup and takedown is a breeze and I am 6ft6 and shoot a 62 inch bow inside with no problem at all with roof clearance issues

I prefer the old double bull blinds. Before Primos took them over.

I love the Double Bull line, but man are they heavy to carry.
