Thanks for the advice. The one thing that made me interested in hunting from a pop-up blind is that I may consider bow hunting from it. I think that it may conceal the draw of the bow if I am hidden from within the blind. I think that I know what you mean by the stake up blind but the ones that I have seen only have camo sides that rise about 18 inches. I want to be concealed but I am not sure that this would hide me, especially if I decide to draw a bow from behind one. Do they make these blinds with higher sides?
