Blinds are becoming more common than they were just ten years ago, and Hunter’s Specialties new Hide ‘N Hunt is a good option if you’re looking to get into hunting from a blind. I like the dimensions of this one being a bigger guy, and if packs down and carries as easily as they say it does then this one will be another winner. I have to admit Hunter’s Specialties doesn’t make the most expensive gear out there, but I have never had one piece of their gear fail me when I needed it. Take a look at their new blind and let us know your thoughts.

Outdoor Life recently conducted field tests of a number of pop-up hunting blinds, rating them on portability, ease of use, roominess, opacity, fit and finish and price/value. The Hide ‘N Hunt blind from Hunter’s Specialties® was picked as the Editor’s Choice, getting a four star rating.
The editors noted that the compact blind featured a number of well thought-out details, including corners that are reinforced inside and out to reduce wear, a quiet laminated shell with a backing that blocks sunlight and solid cast hubs for strong skeletal support. The windows, that are both zipper and magnet equipped, were rated the best of the test. The seamless one-piece roof was labeled as genius, eliminating drips in wet weather. A thick reinforced storage bag and an interior with plenty of roomy pockets round out the package.
The Hide ‘N Hunt blind from Hunter’s Specialties is compact, easy to set up and allows hunters to quickly conceal themselves in almost any situation.
The hub-style blind is 65 inches tall and 62 inches wide and quickly folds into a compact package for easy transport in the field.
The Hide ‘N Hunt Blind comes in Realtree® APG™ Camo and features “shoot-through” camo netting windows that work great for bow hunters.
The blind comes with a carry bag, ropes, stakes and complete instructions and sells for a suggested retail price of $229.99.
