Redneck blind review

[ManofManyStangs]

I purchased the 6'x8' Game Changer blind before season, so after hunting in it I toughest I would give some reviews.

1 pro/con was the shear size of it. I only hunted 1 day with 2 ppl in the blind and it may be too large for 1 person.

I think it is a very well thought out blind with shelving and window system. Couple of important notes the gasket will seal it up tight so make sure first think you do is unlatch the windows you will be using and break the seal on glass. Placement is key. I have this blind sitting on the edge of a flat over looking a bottom and then I can see over hill the another bottom. 10' stand and I was busted twice by deer even though I had seen them before they had seen me. I hung the curtains and blackout kit on the back windows and this stopped that issue. Pretty quite overall I had deer pass within a few feet of my stand. Steel steps on a frosty morning is slicker then snot, gotta come up with something for that. I used a big buddy heater only issue was fogging up the windows but if you crack a couple windows it won't be an issue, may upgrade to a vented heater next year.

Would I buy it again? I think I would but not the 6x8 model. I could build one for less but I really don't think I will have issues with bugs and pests in this model.

Reckon it seals good enough to keep wasps out?? I'd give good money for that feature, alone

Just my opinion, but 8X8 is WAY too big bud. Don't recall for sure, but I think my first one was 84" by 72". Might have been bigger, but it was way to big. My second was 72" by 60". I'm thinking 72" X 72" would be perfect.

I’m building a 8x8. I like big.

Gonna put 1 of these 6' in the front long side of my blind and a Hinged up 36" window in the one end. Then gonna rebuild my door or put one of theirs in it. A damn Pileated Wood Pecker beat a 6" x 4" hole in my current door at the damn handle. He has started working on the end board bout a foot off the floor too from the inside. Damn bird. I do that I think it'll be wasp and bug free too. It's I think 9' x 4' and it's to narrow.

Horizontal Slider Window (SL)

The Horizontal Slider Window is a horizontally mounted twin pane sliding window. Both window panes are based with double strength glass in which are then marine glazed in aluminum frame.

I’ve posted mine before, being it’s the same brand I will again. I love ours! They are pricey but IMO they’re worth it. Quiet, warm and the deer don’t know it’s there. I put mine on a field edge and put it in front of a big cedar and the deer don’t know it’s there. I leave the back window closed all the time facing the cedar and the deer can’t see you. Also posted a pic of deer out of that blind. Had over 20 in the field that evening all under 100yds and they never knew I was there. If I can ever afford another, I have a spot I’d love to put one…

Do you guys still have wasp issues come gun season?

 

[hunt4him]

I love mine. I’ve had mine for 6 seasons now and I have never had wasps build a nest inside it. I have had wasps get in, but that’s from opening the windows during early season.

Some years.
