I bought a Rivers Edge Ground Blind and it is made very nice,easy to set up and take down and it cost me a little under $100.00.There are so many different styles of Blinds out there it can be mind boogling to say the least!There are several Blinds that have more open area's to shoot out of and those would be better suited if You were Bow Hunting with a Traditional or Compound Bow or Crossbow.


One thing to look for is the width and hidth of it especially if You plan on Bow Hunting in it,You can get away with a small blind if Your Rifle/Gun Hunting but when Bow Hunting You need more room since You'll be drawing back a decent size Bow that needs the higher ceiling and width for drawing back a Bow.


My first Ground Blind was purchased for the Sportsmans Guide Catalog and it was on sale for around $60.00,it was one of the nicest Blinds I have owned and it even had the Zip-down flaps in the roof in case it got hot You had better ventilation when Hunting in warmer weather....and it does get hot in those blinds with the black interiors.


As NYS-Buckstalker mentioned when setting a Blind up it is a good idea to use surrounding cover to blend it in better for the Deer to get use to it and not notice it as much as one sitting on a field edge out in the open.I usually find a good spot and put mine under over-hanging branches then I take some Cedar Tree limbs that I cut off and slip them into the loops on the Blind or tie them on with string and hang them down,when I'm out in a Field with tall grass I cut off a bunch and put it up against the sides of the blind and slip some into the loops on the blind.

Most well made Blinds will have some type of loop/hangers or area's to put in some natural ground cover,limbs,leaves etc to better Camo the Hunting Blind.Another good Idea for Safety Purposes is to get some of the Orange Safety Ribbon and hang it out around Your Blind so other Hunters can see it...from a long distance some Hunting Blinds blend in so well You can't make them out and some Blind Companies have little Camo flaps You can open up and velcro down for other Hunters to see at long distances.Just remember....even tho You may be wearing some type of Hunter Orange,inside a Ground Blind Your hidden and You need to let other Hunters know where You are for Your safety.
