I've been a tree stand fan since I started bowhunting whitetail deer at 16 years old in 1970. I hunt from pop-ups for turkey. I don't much like ground blinds because of such restricted vision (peeking out of windows). Two days ago I saw the new Primos Surround 360 set up at my Lexington Cabelas.
Wow! I could not believe the sense of freedom inside that blind. I even asked a clerk to step inside so I could check effectiveness. I ordered a 270 yesterday (one of 4 sides is blacked out). I also am pleased how solidly this thing seems put together. I'll be doing a little blind hunting from this thing this year. My Club XXLs may be in some trouble!
I'm interested in your review of this blind after field use. I don't like the cooped up feeling either. I believe I miss seeing a lot of animals because the lack of visibility but they are definitely an excellent tool, especially for turkey!
Another thing one misses with limited visibility is scouting input. Sometimes from a tree stand I'll notice certain movements that cause me to change stands. When I'm enclosed in a blind I don't see that much.

Interested in checking this out. I get the same feeling in mine, not being aware of all my surroundings. Thanks for the heads up. I will check these out.
