The Turret Pop Up Blind is "light, easy to set up, and easy to carry."

“I did a lot of research on this blind and many others before I decided on this particular blind. I think the three factors that helped me decide on this one were price, camo color and ease of operation.

…The 4 window combinations are very versatile allowing you different combinations of shooting angles. I think the blind will be just as user friendly for a bowhunter as well as for someone using a rifle. It is also big enough for two people to use without any discomfort.”

- R. Harrison

“This blind is pretty big and can accommodate two people. It is light, easy to set up, and easy to carry around thanks to the carry bag. You get a good blind for the money.”

- “Frenchie”

The Turret XL is "durable and much more sturdy than other blinds." - V. Germeroth

Very nice blind. I searched for different hub style blinds and ran across this one, looked good so I ordered it and couldn’t be more satisfied. I set it up in no time and practiced out of it with my bow. Plenty of room to draw it back and room to spare. You could easily shoot a long axle to axle bow with this blind. Price was right and I’m glad I got it.

- A. Chavez

Was very easy to set up. I looked over the instructions like a man would, then set it up in the living room in about 10 minutes at the most, never set one up before. Thought I would get it for my son and I for the April youth hunt here in New York.

- William Clause

This is a high-quality product, exceeding our expectations. The material is durable and much more sturdy than other blinds we have, and set up was no more difficult than similar blinds. Fast shipping. Would buy again!

Tips for setting up a decoy spread for goose hunting.

Why Goose Hunt with Decoys?

The right decoy placement will help hide your goose blind.

As the season progresses, geese wise up to shoddy decoys, so use decoys that are as realistic as you can afford—full-bodied, if possible, or a mix of full-bodied decoys, shells, and silhouettes. Realistic goose decoys will increase the success rate of your hunting.

Tips for Decoy Spread Placement

• You can start by setting up your decoys in the traditional U, V, J, or circle pattern, but alter the pattern slightly to give it a more natural look.
a
• Pay attention to the wind. Never face all your decoys into the wind. This position signals that the geese or ducks are ready for takeoff. Face the decoys in various directions to the wind at all different angles.
a
• Factor in a “landing zone” (such as the open curve of the “U” or “J” shape) where you hope the incoming birds will land. Arrange your decoys around this open space to try to control where the birds land.
a
• Add a small family group of geese downwind of the other decoys, as if they’ve just landed and are making their way towards the rest of the group.
a
• Set up your layout blind upwind of the landing zone and right in the thick of your decoys. The decoys will help hide your blind and keep the birds from landing on top of you. If possible, place the blind in a dip to keep a low profile. The hunting blind should be within easy range of the landing zone. Take into account that the geese may not land directly in the landing zone.
a
• Geese find safety in numbers, so they will be more likely to land in areas where…
  1. There are plenty of other geese.
  2. The geese are relaxed and naturally feeding (not wary, alarmed, or all looking up).
  3. There is movement (use flags or motion stakes to simulate movement).
• The more decoys you use, the easier it will be for the birds to spot them as they approach the field. More decoys attract larger flocks of geese. The larger the flock you hope to attract, the more decoys you’ll need to set out. For smaller, family groups of geese, two to four dozen decoys should be adequate. For larger flocks of geese (over 100 geese), you may need over 100 decoys.

As any hunter knows, these decoy tips may or may not work on any given hunt. Depending on the weather, location, how the geese are responding to your decoy spread, and other factors, you may need to change up your game plan. Good luck goose hunting!

Blend in like this with a customized ghillie suit!

Some ghillie suits, such as the ghillie suits from KillZone Hunting, come with extra jute threads or synthetic leaves. This allows you to easily customize the ghillie suit as needed. You can add more jute thread or leaves for thicker coverage or a slightly different camo pattern.

For even better camouflage, collect twigs, leaves, and brush from around the area and attach them to your ghillie suit. There’s no better way to blend in with your environment than to borrow nature’s camouflage!

Besides adding more jute strings and natural brush, you can also remove jute thread or synthetic leaves from your ghillie suit. This comes in handy for bowhunters who risk catching the bow or arrow on loose strings.

To modify a ghillie suit for bowhunting, remove the jute or leaves from along the inside arm of the bow hand. Also, remove the jute threads or leaves from part of the chest area, on the same side as your bow hand so you don’t get snagged on the suit while you’re trying to shoot.

Remember to customize your ghillie suit for different seasons as well. In the winter, use more dark brown colors (if no snow) or white and light gray (in snowy areas) or a combination of brown, white, and gray. In the spring and summer, you may need to use more greens to blend in with the foliage. When it comes to customizing your ghillie suit, it all depends on where you live and where you hunt or play!
