Hey guys, If you are like me, you don’t buy much hunting stuff because you already own one of everything. As I mentioned previously, I decided to tryone of these Ghost Blinds I’d read about for years but didn’t want to spend $200 on. I have to share, this thing exceeded all my expectations. I rate itan A+. Super easy to use and anchor if necessary. Leans outward which gives a guy more room to draw your bow or hoist a gun. The reason I tried it was specific to my heavily pressured Wisconsin turkey hunting property, where I got busted time and again last year from toms avoiding my blind, even without decoys. These toms were definitely conditioned. I could sit under a tree in tall grass, but my knees are bad from carpentry & basketball, so I really need to sit in a lawn chair if on the ground. The height of the blind is perfect for this. I was basically invisible wherever I hunted. Hell I could hunt with minimal cover, almost an open field. Multiple times I had deer show up 10’ in frontof my blind, just feeding, oblivious to me. I’d never experienced this so close before. In my regular popup blind I’d have deer alerted 200 even 300 yards away. No more! One morning I was calling a sly tom to my left and had 6 jakes to my right walk right up and look in my handle hole from 6’. See photos. I was moving around in my chair when both deer & toms were within feet of me no problem!

No I don’t work for this company. Just had to share this. If you want a new toy to play with that actually works, this is it! I looked all around but could not find a sale price for one, so I paid the full $200, but with no regrets. It was worth every penny. BTW it was not too bad to tote around. I did not want to spend the coin for one of the backpack carriers, but I did OK carrying it with just the handle. For most of my hunting I was hiking through a muddy swamp about 1 mile round trip. In a month of use I can’t recall one critter altering it’s behavior due to my presence. Pretty amazing. Not sure if I’dbow hunt deer with it due to scent, I like to be up high in a tree, but for gun hunting fields, I will definitely be using this in the future. Main reason is you can be mobile and move around. Deer don’t need to get used to it. The lookout holes make a perfect gun rest when you sit in a lawn chair. I highly recommend this toy!
