Well I was at work today and my hunting buddy was at the Bass pro outlet and found a Primos Vision ground blind for $100. I couldn't pass it up and I really need one to hunt this bean field where they are coming out and there are no trees to put a stand on. Here it is.
Congrats on a heck of a deal....I got one of the first T5's when DB came out with them and I love it, tent blinds definately are a good one to have in the arsenol...Good luck with it!!!
So far the only thing is the zipper to get in wants to come apart if it is not setup just perfect. Luckily i know someone that can sew a new one if need be, but it's not that bad.
After seeing John's blended into the cornfield that well I am going to pick a blind up sometime soon. Thumbs up on a good purchase. I saw one at Bass Pro as well, just didn't know how the quality was....I like the pattern though.
How similar is this blind to yours MO?? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/standard-pod-wrapped.jsp?id=0054481&navCount=2&parentId=cat540014&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat21424-cat540014_TGP&parentType=index&indexId=cat540014&rid=
That's a heckuva deal for that blind. Dave, here's the specs on the one Matt just picked up if you wanna do some comparing: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jsp?id=0057271&navCount=2&parentId=cat540014&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat21424-cat540014_TGP-cat540014_TGP&parentType=index&indexId=cat540014&rid=
Bols, The one I just got is the same brand as the one you're looking at. I think primos bought them as a part of double bull or something. I think one of the reasons it was so cheap was because it was the version before primos took them over. The only difference i see is mine has a 360* view. If you look at the pics mine has curtains with magnets in them that you can open/close as you need to.
Matt, I was talking this over with Greg. I think this is the same blind I saw at Bass Pro during the Fall Hunting Classic. They wanted a $100 for it then.....now, online it seems they are going for 169.74 I believe. Crappy on my part for waiting. I passed them up and said, if I needed a blind I wonder how the quality was for that one. Should have just picked it up and asked questions later.
It seems to always work that way! I wish you lived closer to Springfield,MO. I would buy it for you with my discount and just have you pay me for it.
If I get this stand sold I have listed on three different sites (shameless plug), then I will dump that money straight into a blind. I got a friend at the local Bass Pro that might be willing to do the same for me. I dunno though, I would have to ask him. Thanks for the offer though.... You definitely got a steal on what appears to be a good quality blind.
They do work!!! I found that out first hand last night. I plan on being in mine a few more times this season. I was moving around getting into position and drawing my bow and she could not see me inside that blind.
I have a blind, but it's rather small for bowhunting. It has just enough room for me to be at full draw inside. I actually have to hold the bow sideway pointed towards the ground & then aim. My elbow is just touching the back wall & my arrow is about 2" clear of the screen. It's great for gun hunting, but I definitely need to upgrade, & I think you guys have me convinced. For $100 or so, I may join you guys.
Did you camo your blind and leave it out there for a few days for the deer to get used to or just camo it good enough for them not to notice the day you killed yours? I was wondering because the property i have permission to hunt allows other hunters and I dont want to leave it out there. I was thinking about packing it in and out every hunt. Is this a bad idea or as long as I camo it up pretty good they wont notice too much?
MO, I have had success out of mine both ways. I have also noticed the better job that I do brushing it in and making it blend, the less they tend to pay attention to it. jm's set up looked killer too, I am curious too if he set it up and then left it for a little while or just hunted it. I know you weren't directing the question towards me directly but I thought I would share my experiences as well...Good luck with the blind!!!
