Anyone familiar with the Ghost Blind, tried one or know someone who has? My better half asked me what I wanted under the tree and I've got plenty of other crap I don't use and thought it might be time to add some more.

Anyway, the concept sounds really interesting and I've got some field birds that give me a fit every year where a hub blind would stand out like a sore thumb.

Anyway, appreciate thoughts.

I have seen it but know nothing about them. Seems like there could be some problems, sun reflection and animal reflection?

I have thought about ghost blinds too. I like the idea but it does have limitations. They angle the mirror surface down so for a bird to see itself it would have to be real close. To me, its one of those things that sounds cooler than it really is, at least that is what I say to myself to keep from buying it. I also think they are overpriced. Anyway, what's wrong with a hub blind? Deer are an issue, but turkeys pretty much pay them no attention at all. Had two toms almost climb into mine last year.

On second thought, the hub blind doesn't scare them, but I'd think they would be a pain to set up in the dark. When I've used hub blinds on private land I just set them up the day before and leave them over night. However, on public land that isn't much of an option unless you plan on sleeping in the blind.

I was having a lot of trouble setting up my double bull too. Then I tried something new, read the directions. I can set it up in about 5 minutes now. I had a Primos blind and was trying to set up the Double Bull the same way. I missed one simple step and now that I have figured it out I can deploy the blind quickly. It's about 30 seconds then another few minutes to do everything else.

I am not a blind guy but using them on the wounded warrior hunts I was really impressed with the Double Bull blind and even for me ease of set up and take down. With lots of room for 2 to sit in and room to spare.

Not sure the mirror blinds are any more than a gimmick , as thus have never even considered using one. IMO for a one man hunt in a blind, pretty hard to beat the dog house ameristep. IMO far better shooting port options than the hub blinds. easily packed with should straps. unfolds quickly and can be set up very quietly.. I can carry that blind, a folding seat, a B mobile, a hen or two, and an 870 plus my call pack a fair distance in the dark. So some of you youngsters could carry it to lexington from roanoke.

GN. better carry it to Roanoke from lexington because no turkeys in the lexington area!

Well l was thinking a fella might need a layoverr till he got up to your territory Doug....; guess l should have aded that the real issue with all this packing of blinds and gear is how to carry a turkey back when you have been successful. Sometimes l am lucky enough to have a pal help with the toting out
