5 Best Hunting Ground Blinds

Choosing the right ground blind for hunting can make all the difference. Ground blinds offer many advantages, whether you’re a lifelong hunter or just getting into the industry. Here are a few factors that may be helpful for your decision on a ground blind, along with our top 5 picks for ground blinds!

Windows

The number of windows and style of windows can play a big factor in your choice of ground blind. You’ll need to determine if you plan to bow hunt or gun hunt out of your blind. For bow hunting, you may want more vertical windows for easier shots, while several window styles will work well for gun hunting. Windows should allow for a wide range of clean shots. Many ground blinds come with mesh that can be shot through in certain situations for optimum concealment.

Size

Size plays a major factor in ground blind selection. For lone hunters, blinds like the Ameristep Doghouse or Chair Blind may be great thanks to their small footprints and easy concealment. For larger groups, blinds like the Barronett Grounder 350 offer ample room for several people to comfortably hunt. Consider how large your group is, the level of concealment you’ll need, and the overall weight of the blind when factoring size into your decision.

Camo

If you have time to adequately brush in your blind, most models will work just fine. If you don’t have much time to set up and need to get hunting, camo can play a bigger factor in your overall concealment. Having the right camo for your environment can help blend the outline of your blind into the surrounding environment, making game less wary. Luckily, MidwayUSA carries ground blinds in a wide range of camo patterns to match your specific environment.

What Customers Are Saying

Can't go wrong with this one

This blind is about as good as it's gonna get . I have seen other hub blinds and recently bought a Herters ground blind ( which has a poor window/water design ) . Room for 2 .. no problem . window designs are excellent . they are zippered but so what .. my windows are opened as I see fit before the sun comes up and water is not going to run in them . mesh ,,,which I wont shoot through is zippered inside but also can be taken entirely off from the out side. for me the front wont have mesh but I will leave it on the sides . unlike some others the hubs actually require a little effort to collapse them , short of a helluva storm wind will not collapse these even if untied . the material seems a little thicker than most and the blood trail camo will work fine in the East Texas woods where I hunt , also it doesn't have that shiny look. Do I recommend this blind - you bet !

About Primos

As a 5-year-old boy in Jackson, Mississippi in 1958, Will Primos wanted nothing more than to tag along on duck hunts with the older boys in the family. When the day finally arrived, he was hooked on hunting for life. In 1963, at the age of 11, Will crafted his first duck call after a special day spent hunting in green timber with his Uncle Gus. Will continued to hunt through high school and into college. “Anything that flew, crawled, walked, or swam, I was after it.” Primos Hunting is the leader in the design and manufacturing of game calls for elk, deer, turkey, predator, and waterfowl. Their commitment to game calls extends to other great products, including ground blinds, shooting sticks, hunting vests, and many hunting accessories.
