Pop Up Ground Blind Reviews

Popup ground blind

"Easy to put up and take down, and slips into the backpack type case easily." - C. Loop

Want to know what other customers say about the KillZone Pop-Up Ground Blind? See below for hunting blind reviews on this 1-2 man tent.

“A good buy if you are looking for a one person blind. I am six feet tall and need to duck a bit when inside, but once you’re in your seat it is perfect for a one person show. I can shoot my bow out of it no problem (just make sure you have a low stool, bucket seat, etc.), and the shoot through mesh is great for using a rifle. Easy to put up and take down, and slips into the backpack type case easily. Instructions were a little hazy, but easy to figure out once you do it a few times.”
- C. Loop

“This blind is exactly what I wanted. It is a pop up blind that sets up and collapses in seconds. If you are looking to get a ground blind look no further. Buy this now. On top of all this it showed up 2 days after ordering.”
- T. Lowman

“Works great!! I’ve read several reviews that the zippers are flimsy. While I agree they might not be heavy duty, I would not call the zippers ‘flimsy’. You just need to be careful about how tight you stretch the blind when you stake it down to the ground. You can relieve stretch in the fabric and make closing zippers easier by simply pulling the gap closed as you zip the door or windows shut.”
- Christopher H.

“I ordered a blind for me and one for a co-worker. I received them in 3 days and have both shot a bird out of them-one bow kill and one shotgun. Good product-great seller.”

Hunting Turkeys from a Ground Blind

Turkey blind

Turkey blinds conceal movement and keep you dry.

There’s more than one way to hunt turkeys. Ground blinds are just one more trick to keep up your sleeve. While some hunters prefer sitting out under the base of a tree or running-and-gunning, there’s a place for ground blinds when it comes to turkey hunting, too.

Hunting in cold or rainy weather and taking squirrelly kids or a first-time hunter along are just a few reasons why you might choose to use a ground blind for turkey hunting.

Setting Up a Ground Blind

A turkey blind can increase your chances of success, or it can stick out like a sore thumb—it all depends on how you camouflage the blind.

Set up your ground blind with a backdrop behind it (such as a grove of trees) to mask the blind’s silhouette. Setting up in the shadows will also draw less attention to your blind.

Concealing Your Movements

Keep a dark backdrop behind you when you’re inside the blind. An open window behind you will highlight your silhouette and spook the turkey when you move. Make sure the window shade is closed and not just the mesh screen.

Camouflaging the Blind

Some hunters say they have turkeys walk right up to their ground blind without any hesitation. Other hunters have seen turkeys spook at the sight. Although movement spooks turkeys more than anything else, it doesn’t hurt to take a few minutes to camouflage the blind, just in case your turkeys are blind-shy.

Use dead branches and natural grasses to brush in the blind. This breaks up the outline and camouflages your blind to blend in with its natural surroundings. Don’t count on the blind’s camouflage pattern alone to keep you hidden.

Setting Up in Advance

If possible, set up your ground blind in advance. Once the turkeys get used to it, they’ll walk past without a second glance. Plus you can slip silently into the blind the morning of the hunt without making a lot of noise setting it up and scaring off any turkeys within earshot.

KillZone Hunting Chair Blind Reviews

Chair blind

"Well built seat and lots of room." - Joel S.

One- and two-person portable chair blinds make it easy to get your gear into the woods, set up fast, and keep yourself hidden in prime gaming areas. Check out the hunting reviews below for what other hunters think about our chair ground blinds.

“Dad loves it! I bought this as a present for my dad, who can’t climb into tree stands anymore. When he opened it, I was very pleased with how easy it was to set up. The seat is very comfortable and well constructed. I’m not a big fan of the velcro due to the noise, but that is the only—and I mean only—negative. This is a great ground blind and will help my dad keep doing what he enjoys. I can’t wait to hear the story when he drops that big one.”
- Chris Sullivan

“Great product. Just as described, maybe better. Well built seat and lots of room. It is easy to use and portable. My dad loves it.”
- Joel S.

“I’m impressed with initial quality. I initially bought this with intentions of tearing it apart and using it to cover my outdoor motorized wheelchair. I like the blind chair so much as is, I can’t bring myself to tear it apart. I’ll have to wait for it to break or give out on me before cannibalizing it. In the meantime, I’ll just transfer from wheelchair to blind chair. While not evident in photos, all windows have removable camo bug netting. Will pair with Gorilla shooting stick (another bargain) to reduce any gun holding fatigue. Included camo backpack makes it even more of a bargain. Great product, KillZone.”
- Jay (Texas)

“Was pleasantly surprised how quickly the item arrived. Don’t know what would be different about blinds costing 2 and 3 times as much.”
- Jack S.

“The perfect portable blind for me and my 4 year old daughter. Easy packing, easy setup. Must buy.”
- Larry F.

“Very nice blind and look forward to using it this year.”
- David M.

“Great product. Very roomy and seems well constructed. Less expensive than others and does the job well. Would order again.”
- Harold Fultz, Jr.

“It arrived promptly and was a great product beyond expectations. The hunter receiving it was thrilled, and I was glad to have the opportunity to purchase a birthday present of such good quality for a great price.”
- John C.

360 Blind

"Big enough for 2 grown men and plenty of room to store stuff." - DGA

“This is a great blind. It is mostly waterproof, and for a brand that isn’t well known, it is just as good as a Primos. It has a good camo pattern, and I think that it is important to get a 360 blind especially if you hunt with a bow.”
- Soccerfan71 (Ravenswood, WV)

“I bought this hub as a backup to another that I have, and upon setting the pair of them up as a comparison, I’ve decided my much more expensive other unit will be my backup and this KillZone will fill the go-to blind billing. It’s well built and offers absolutely unparalleled visibility and utility. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.”
- Pilot107

“My dad and I are enjoying this blind. It is the best one we have ever used. It has magnet attached walls, so it is quiet. Big enough for 2 grown men and plenty of room to store stuff. Well-camouflaged and is shine-resistant.”
- DGA

“I have a KillZone blind and really like it. Have had deer walk by it within 5 feet.”
- “South Georgia”

“This is a great ground blind. I have 12 total ground blinds and many costing much more than this. I am very pleased.”

Ground Blind or Tree Stand?

Filed under: Ground Blinds,Tree Stands — Tags: , , , — Esther @ 7:09 pm
Ground blind

A ground blind keeps you warm and dry.

With the growing popularity of ground blinds, hunters now have more options for bagging their prey. Although some hunters claim that hunting from an elevated stand is far superior to hunting from the ground, there are plenty of hunters who have found that keeping their feet on the ground and their head protected from the rain is much more comfortable and just as successful as tree stand hunting.

The key to successful ground blind hunting is staying hidden. Since you’re right on eye level with your game, you need to make the extra effort to camouflage your blind and set it up in a place where the animals are less likely to approach the blind head on. Use dead branches and brush to camouflage the top and sides of the blind.

One of the benefits of ground blind hunting is that you stay warmer in cold weather and get protection from the wind, rain, snow, and other elements. While most tree stand hunters pack up when the rain moves in, you can stay warm and dry in your hunting blind in almost any weather.

Because of the size and concealment that a ground blind offers, you can pack in more stuff, video the hunt from inside the blind, and bring along a friend or family member. Being able to move around inside the tent without giving yourself away makes it easier to wait and allows you to bring along fidgety children.

When you or someone you know has a close call with a tree stand accident, you might think twice about climbing into a tree again. A ground blind lets you stay safe while you hunt. It also makes it possible for disabled hunters to stay hidden and lets older hunters continue to hunt well into their later years.

Pop up blind

"If you are not in the mood for dragging your tree climber all the time, this is a super alternative, especially in the cold and wind!" - Rich

“Great pop up blind! Setup in less than a minute! Closing it up is fast and simple, plus the backpack provides storage and portability! Spacious inside and will allow two hunters ample room for seating, cameras and gear when bow hunting as well as rifle hunting.”
- P. Hager

“It’s your standard pop up blind for a good price! If you’re 5ft. 7in. or shorter, you should be comfortably able to hang out inside. Anyone taller than that may want to get a bigger pop up. It comes with a carry bag, 2 ext. poles, 8 stakes, and 4 tie downs! I find that the camo pattern could be used in a variety of terrain. It blends in well amongst the green cedar trees and mesquite scrub.”
- O. Gonzalez

“I bought it and gave it as a gift to my brother. He loved it. Easy up and easy down!”
- Amy B.

“What a great, easy-to-set-up blind for hunting any type of game you want to stay concealed for. I dropped a 12-point, 160-pound deer from about 25 yards with a bow from this blind 2 days ago. It was roomy and comfortable and blended in.

Little problem in getting it back in its bag; it’s tricky, but can be done easily with 2 people. It is light and packable into the woods. If you are not in the mood for dragging your tree climber all the time, this is a super alternative, especially in the cold and wind!

Happy hunting!”
- Rich U.

“Delivery was quick. Setup was easy. Just had 2 inches of rain plus high winds and all was dry inside and found it as I left it before the storm came. The price was right, even cheaper than most stores. Gave it four stars because of the hassle of taking it down. Had a little buddy heater in it when it was 24 degrees outside and stayed warm. I would recommend this to a friend. Enough room for my daughter and I with the right kind of chairs.”
- Alan Caines

“This is a great blind. I ordered this blind just before the black powder hunt in Oklahoma. I received the blind and the webbing where the poles went to hold up the roof, were miss sewn. I made contact with KillZone, who sold me the blind, and informed Rod L. of my misfortune. With his help, and only one week until my hunt started, I was able to get my replacement. I was unable to set the blind up to let it air out for the two days; however, I did have it in time to make my hunt. I have to commend KillZone for 3-day shipping me the blind and making all of that work. If you buy this blind, you will love the camo pattern, ease of setup, and the ability to pack it in its backpack style case.”
- G. Gandy

“The hunting blind I ordered arrived promptly. Terrific rig: easy to set up, easy to collapse. I am very satisfied with the purchase.”
- Paul

Ground Blind Tips for Deer Hunting

Filed under: Deer Hunting,Ground Blinds — Tags: , — Esther @ 6:49 pm
Ground blind

Set up your ground blind before the hunt to allow deer to get used to it.

Thanks to The Hunting Channel Online for these tips on hunting from a ground blind!

Before the Hunt

Get the ground blind out as early in the season as you can. If you hunt on private land, ask permission to set up the blind a few weeks before your first hunt. Brush it in as best you can. Once the deer get used to your blind, they won’t suspect a thing when you get into position on the morning of the hunt.

Placement

Set up your blind off to the side. This increases your chance of a broadside shot and keeps deer from looking directly into your blind as they come down the trail.

Camouflage

Don’t expect the camouflage pattern on your ground blind to do all the work. You need to break up the outline of the blind with natural brush, deadfall, and other vegetation. The more your hunting blind blends in with the setting, the less likely you will get busted sitting in the blind.

Windows

Don’t get caught with a silhouette by letting too much light into the blind. The black interior of the blind is designed to swallow your shadow, but if you open both the front and back windows of the blind, you leave yourself wide open for a bust. Always keep a dark backdrop behind you.

Scent

Cover your scent. Synthetic odors from the blind fabric are a dead giveaway. Make sure you air out the blind before you set it up in the woods. Hardcore hunters also mud up their blinds for a natural smell that covers up the factory smell of plastic.

"My favorite part about the blind is that the windows are not Velcro." - Josh

KillZone Outfitter’s Hub Style Blind Review

By Josh Morrissey

“This past summer I decided to buy another blind. I knew I wanted a hub style blind that fit into my budget as a college student. I did a lot of research, looking on Ebay, Cabela’s, and anywhere in general.

I ran across some blinds by KillZone Outfitter’s that looked very nice and were surprisingly inexpensive. I looked into them more and looked at reviews on them and decided that I was going to try one out. I got it in the mail and couldn’t be happier! It is set up right now for deer hunting and it looks great. The material is very water resistant and durable and there is plenty of room for a hunter and a cameraman. It comes with shoot-through mesh windows and stakes to stake it down.

My favorite part about the blind is that the windows are not Velcro, but instead very similar to the Double Bull blinds where the windows just slide down and are held up by the support rods of the blind. These types of windows make it easy to open up and close without making hardly any noise!

I would highly recommend this blind to anyone who is looking at buying a blind. No matter what weather you are hunting in and no matter what game you are chasing, for $119.99 you can’t go wrong with the KillZone Outfitter’s Hub Style blind! For more information on this blind and other KillZone Outfitter merchandise, check out www.killzonehunting.com.”

Thanks, Josh, and happy hunting!

Turkey Hunting Success with KillZone Chair Blind

Filed under: Ground Blinds — Tags: , — Esther @ 7:01 pm
Mike Roux Gobbler

Nationally known hunter Mike Roux published a recent article in a local Missouri newspaper detailing his turkey hunt using a KillZone 2-man chair blind. Missouri is known for its excellent turkey hunting, although the birds are tough to bring down. Roux set his sights on a property in NE Missouri, where he had hunted before as a guide and hunter.

Roux said, “I had the toms pretty well patterned and was confident I could get with one. Especially since I had a great KILLZONE 2-Chair Blind set in just the right spot. This blind is perfect for the turkey hunter because it is compact yet roomy and easy to move if you need to.”

The morning was near-perfect for hunting, with a temperature around 40 degrees and a not-yet-turned-under alfalfa field where Roux pitched his blind and placed his decoys. After a few unsuccessful attempts to call in a few toms, Roux made an executive decision: “I had to move. I packed up my KILLZONE blind, which took all of 60 seconds, grabbed my decoys and headed to the southwest corner of the field. I had called in a huge gobbler there back in the youth season. This bird was not killed and not even shot at, so I knew this was a good spot. I was set up and was calling within minutes.”

The result was immediate success. A tom gobbled within minutes to validate the move. “My blind was set perfectly and my decoys were exactly where they needed to be,” Roux said. The tom gobbled again a few minutes later, and then two toms strutted out into the open, crossed the field, and began to engage the decoys. Within minutes, Roux bagged a 25-pound longbeard.
