Choosing The Right Ground Blind For You

Recently, I was shopping at a major outdoor retail chain when I witnessed two waterfowl hunters trying to decide what type of ground blind they should buy for the upcoming season. As one would expect in a retail location such as the one I was in, they had all of the major brands and multiple blind choices within each of the brands. All told, these hunters had no less than 15 different blinds to choose from.

Spending the better part of 45 minutes with the sales associate, these hunters walked out of the store dazed and confused from all of the choices they had without purchasing a blind. What became quite obvious to me was the fact that these two hunters, like many other goose and duck hunters, hadn't made an analysis of what they wanted or needed.

So after witnessing their frustration, I talked with my partner at Take Em and we decided that what was necessary was an article that addressed the key points to consider when you are selecting a ground blind.

Here's our list of key points to consider before purchasing your next ground blind.

"I have been waterfowl hunting since I was 13. It's a sickness, which i'm not trying very hard to cure. I found your site just a month, or so, ago, and am enjoying it very much. I hope you keep up the great articles and videos, and update the site as often as possible. I've read, and re-read every page on here, and like I said, I'm loving what you have here!"

"The info you guys have built up on here is priceless. I got hooked on ducks and geese two years ago and don't know a whole lot about hunting techniques or strategies. This year I have had limited hunting outings as I'm in the military and been deployed allot, but using some of your suggestions, I have already seen improvements to my kill #'s."
