Just got my Hidden Hunter Ground Blind, It was not what I expected. IT WAS EVEN BETTER! I can not believe its taken me all these years to try a ground blind. Now the learning starts all over again. I am not used to hunting on the ground.
I usually buy the cheapesy ground blind and they break easilyy with our low brush , maybe this will be a better option
Glad to hear that, Ive been looking at them for a couple years. Thanks for posting, Shane
I've been tellin you guys...haven't you been listening?... :archer:

I bought one a few years ago from Ron ^ the problem with them is they take about 3 seconds to set up - ha!
How long of a bow can you shoot from one of those?
I have shot a 66" selfbow with no problems
I prefer 6.5' x 6.5' simply because I have a 30" draw length and shoot 32" BOP arrow so with broadheads attached, my arrows are 34" long.
Ron is right. I bought one from him and I must say those hidden hunter blinds are perfect for a trad hunter. I will be setting mine up again for deer season soon -- same spot as last year. I only wish I had about three more of them to cover some other hot spots, but the economic recession has come to my house (like it has to so many others) and extra blinds will have to wait a few years now.
If you try one, you will wonder why you waited so long to get one.

Joe, the nice thing about the Hidden Hunter blind is that it sets up and takes down so quick and it's so portable. If you leave the blind set up you stake it down, if you want to move and set up in another location don't stake it down. When you get out just zip..flip...and you're ready to move....nothing to it.. :dunno:

Ron,
Yep it is fast and easy to set up and take down. Maybe I should consider moving it around this season. I have been letting the deer get used to it in one spot, that is what I have done so far. They sure do seem to completely ignore it, like it isn't even there while I am inside and watching them.
Thanks for the thought. I'll give it a try.
Joe
I listened. Best blind that I have ever had.
That does it. Been trying to decide between one of the blinds available or a ghillie. The website doesn't have clear pics of each pattern. Ron or anyone.....any chance you've got pics you can post of the other two patterns?
Do these blinds have shoot through window options with the screens?
Man that is tempting... How long before season do y'all recommend setting up? I can imagine it takes a few weeks for deer to become accustomed to it.
Ron, you seem to be "in the know", any chance of seeing an ASAT pattern in the future?
There are several patterns available, the one in the above photo is the "Woodland" which is the standard green camo pattern, There is a "Digital Woodland" and the "All Terrain Digital" The DW is predominantly green. The All ATD is light gray, dark gray and beige. Currently there are no photos of the different patterns available. I just got off the phone with HH and they said they would have photos soon. I will put them on my site as soon as I get them.
The Hidden Hunter blinds are the favorite blinds use by Len Rue the famous wildlife photographer.
I just found this picture in my computer. This is the "Digital Woodland" so called because of the green in the pattern along with the beige, and black. If you look very closely you might be able to see my wife Nancy sitting in blind. She has no camo or face mask yet she's nearly invisible.
In answer to RC's question, yes, shoot through screens are available.

Ron, what is the height and I'd like to see some All ATD pics.
The bow blinds are 6'X 6' The DAT is the same as the DW except without the green. I don't have any pictures of the DAT at this time. As soon as I do I will have them on my web site.
In setting it up and letting the deer get so used to it that they completely ignore it, I have been setting it up about three weeks before I use it. Believe me, they do ignore it like it isn't even there.
I find the blind to be a relaxing and comfortable way to hunt because I am so well hidden. I see a lot of wildlife from my HH blind.

I've sat in tree stands trying the keep the cold wind off me or hunched up with rain running down my neck. In my Hidden Hunter blind the wind doesn't get to me and the sound of rain on the roof is a comforting sound. In any kind of weather I'm still out there... hunting.. :archer:
I`m leaning toward this blind as my next pop up. I traded for an ameristep blind several years ago called a brickhouse. Not nearly the size of this one . It does setup fairly quick but down here where I live deer spook from it until it gets "old" to them. I turkey hunted this year from mine a good bit and left it setup in a bottom and after the 3rd week I had deer come by at 5 yards and not even look with the wind blowing straight to them.I sat in a comfortable chair and being at eye level and able to move without being seen was a thrill. I killed a Turkey at 6 yards with my longbow.I`m saying all this so people following this thread will know that hunting from a ground blind like these is very addicting and something I really enjoyed and look forward to shooting a deer from one. I can only imagine how much better it would be with a blind as big as the Hidden Hunter compared to my smaller blind.I`m gonna get one Lord Willing.
I do like the shoot through windows. A Friend of mine Chris Spikes had his first blind hunting experience this year on a Turkey hunt with me. We had three Hens come in and I waived my hand at them without a glove on and they did not see. Minutes later he killed a Jake at 4 yards with a recurve.Very exciting. Just have to check`m for cottonmouths before you get in them down here.RC
Ron - thanks for the pics....the digital will work perfectly down here. Time to start squirreling away some funds for one.

That is the second time I read that in one of your posts,Dang it,that gives me the creeps each time.
The shoot-thru windows are an additional option to be purchased. I did this spring for turkey hunting, and now, one of the screens has a hole in it. :)

Can ya stand up inside it? Sometimes I have to get up and stretch.
I am 5'-11" tall and I stand up and stretch in mine with a little room to spare. Ron is right, using the HH blind is the most comfortable and relaxed way I have ever hunted. When it is cold and rainy or there is a cold wind outside, I am warm and dry in the blind.
I like hunting from mine -- a lot.
