What kind of blind do you guys use for turkey hunting?? I know alot of guys run and gun but I rather call and wait for the boss gobbler come to me. Last year was my first year turkey hunting and now I'm hooked. I asked alot of questions from guys at work but I think you only learn by doing it yourself. Learning from your mistakes and success out in the field..
I was thinking of a double bull matrix 360 and the pretty boy decoy I purchased last year..

I use the Out House for gun and Dog House for bow. That Matrix is one of the best if not the best. h.h.

I have a Double Bull, T3 I think it is. I bought it new from a friend in Wisconsin and it has never left my room. I did set it up in the living room once though. I've hunted out of several Double Bull's and have no complaints about any of them. I have also hunted out of some other brand blinds and never had a problem with turkeys seeing me or the blind spooking them.
As long as you sit any blind up in a good location I don't think you will have a problem with it. We always brush ours in a little bit. If purchasing a new blind, I would look mainly at the size of the blind and if you intend to bow hunt out of it in the future.

I'd get a double bull 180 as they don't make the 360 any longer! I have several other cheaper blinds but there is nothing like the double bull....talk to Matt he might be able to help you out too!

I bought my first blind this year.... but since I only plan to use it for turkey I did not spring for a double bull.... I bought one of those double chair blinds they sell on Sportmans Guide.... I like how easy it is to set up.... and I spend several hours sitting in it watching tv (to make sure it was comfy) and sitting still is no problem.

I have the Doghouse actualyl 4 of them. I put them out over the fields I hunt and leave them out during turkey season. They have them for 54 bucks in Natchez shooting supply.

hey Sleazy, i got a feeling this is going to be your year to get that big ol'tom.... those blinds are great, nice for the little one to come along too, they are great for field hunting especially if its raining and tapeing the seams and waterproofing helps,they don't sit so well on a side of a hill, GOOD LUCK........TAKE A YOUNGSTER ON YOUR NEXT OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE.......turkey scout

Thanks turkeyscout... I am feeling good about this year too.... Actually taking my daughter is the reason I got the double seat.... she is very excited and has already asked if she could miss school opening day.... my answer was yes (of course) my wife said we would have to wait and see..... but I think I will win this one. She has only missed 2 days of school all year so I don't see any harm in her taking one day off to go get a gobbler with her daddy.

You all might already know this but just in case it is a good ideal if you have screens on your windows of your blinds if they have the velcro i remove it and replace it with magnets alot less noise lowering your screens. hope this was helpful to someone. ;D

I have a old one and can't remember it name but it is a small one for like to adults but that is crowding it. I leave it out the entire year and the animals get used to it and even the deer. I have even shot coyotes out of it. Only to small for my bow unless I keep the arrow outside the window. I am a big guy and have a long reach. I think they are super but wear black, cover your face, and Keep movement down, and only open one window. Good luck.

 THE MATRIX , THE T2 , AND THE NEW DARKHORSE ARE AWESOME TOOLS THAT WILL HELP YOU FILL TAGS AND ENJOY THE GROUND BLIND EXPERIENCE. ALWAYS WEAR BLACK,COVER YOUR FACE/HANDS,KEEP THE WINDOWS BEHIND YOU CLOSED AND MOVE SLOW WHEN CRITTERS ARE CLOSE. YOU WANT TO PRACTICE FROM THE BLIND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT AND YOU WANT TO BE ETHICAL IN MAKING YOUR SHOT AT GAME. ENJOY AND GOOD LUCK. |

That would be my favorite critter to chase in late spring...a groundhog...the blinds work great for bowhuntin' these guys and they offer some interesting practice. Give it a try and you'll be hooked.Best of luck.
