Facebook Hunting Contest Winter 2012

How many kids can you fit in a KillZone Turret hunting blind?

This past December, the KillZone Hunting team worked together to collect clothes and money for the Boys and Girls Club of Minnesota. The club hosted a 2-day winter camp on December 26-27 at Camp Voyageur in Mound, MN, where at-risk youth could get away from the pressures of life at home and enjoy being out in nature.

Some of these kids don’t have a lot, so the opportunity to come to a camp like this is a huge treat. The program director sent us the following summary of the retreat:

“Winter camp was a huge success! Twenty-five campers camped out and enjoyed two fun-filled days at Voyageur. They participated in outdoor survival class, learned about birds and took a nature hike up to our Chick-kitty landing, and were able to sit and have birds land on their heads! They also did some animal tracking and were able to hike across the lake into the other 30 acres we own, called New New England. While they were across the lake, they were able to find coyote tracks and check out the beaver dam. They also enjoyed making their own pizzas for dinner.”

Also, as you can see by the picture above, the kids were having fun in an “8-person” Turret blind???

Nationally known hunter Mike Roux

What happens when a nationally known hunter takes a KillZone blind into the field? Hunter Mike Roux reports on his success with the 360 KillZone Blind and the 2 Shooter Chair Hunting Blind:

“The 360 KillZone blind performed great in the field. It is convenient and easy to carry and goes up quickly. The 360 degree view really helps on turkey hunts in the timber. The configuration of the net screens and windows is very good and would be great for the archery hunter as well. I also used the KillZone Double Chair blind to film a successful hunt earlier in the week. This blind is a MUST for the hunting video guys. The combination of these two products makes me more productive than any others have in the past. My grade for these blinds is an A+.”

Mike Roux is a nationally known outdoorsman and accomplished outdoor writer. He is currently Regional Editor for Outdoor Guide Magazine and the author of turkey hunting book If You Call Them…They Will Come.

The Body Block ground blind is ultra lightweight
and extremely portable.

A new quick-setup ground blind is available from KillZone Hunting for solo hunters on the move. The three-panel Body Block ground blind sets up in seconds and surrounds the hunter on three sides. Most hunters lean up against a tree for backrest support and for concealment on the fourth side.

This small blind keeps the hunter concealed from deer, turkeys, and other game in areas where a full ground blind is not practical (for example, areas with dense or low-lying brush). At 29 inches tall with a 78 inch spread length, this blind provides full coverage for most hunters in a seated or crouched position.

At just over one pound, the Body Block hunting blind is ultra lightweight for extreme portability. A carry pouch with belt loop keeps your hands free for carrying other gear.

The Body Block is available in two camouflage patterns: Autumn Wooded Oak and Zero-Detect Camo. Now only $24.99 with Free Shipping to the lower 48 states!
