In the market for a new deer blind? Here are 7 things to consider before you buy...

1. Visibility

Visibility is paramount! The windows are probably the single most important feature you should evaluate before making an investment in a deer blind. With a restricted and blocked view, you can’t see everything around you. Think about it. Small, narrow window openings mean blind spots that will block your view. That's frustrating!

Why is visibility out of your new deer stand important? When sitting inside a deer blind with inadequate windows, you’ll spend a lot of time moving your head around trying to see what’s behind the blind spots. This movement can tip off the deer to your presence, reducing your opportunity for a trophy.

That’s why Texas Hunter designed all blinds with an unobstructed, 360-degree view. Our exclusive Hide-Away Window System provides HUGE window openings that are nearly one foot tall and span the entire side of the blind. A combination of clear and solid window panels slide silently in a double-track window system. Each window panel can be instantly moved to the left or right in the track. You can also reposition the solid and clear panels any way you want them for the ultimate in concealment. Or the window panels can be easily lifted out of the track and removed entirely. The Texas Hunter window system provides many different options for the best visibility in any hunting or observation situation.

2. Concealment

A key feature to an effective deer blind is the ability to conceal your sound and movement. Texas Hunter’s Trophy Blinds allow a 360-degree view while remaining fully hidden from the field of view. The Texas Hunger Green Starboard siding, a Texas Hunter exclusive is an attractive, natural color for the outdoors. And with the exclusive Hide-Away Window System, the solid and clear window panels can be alternated to conceal any movement inside while still providing a full view of all surroundings.

3. Shooting

Quick access to large, open ports for shooting is another very important feature when considering an investment in a deer stand. With Texas Hunter’s unique Hide-Away window system, each window panel slides silently in the track, to the left or right, instantly creating a large opening, right when you need it. The double track window system also serves as a built-in gun rest, and on the adjacent side, a comfortable and convenient armrest for steadying your shot.

Or if you prefer, completely remove a window panel by easily lifting it out of the track. The unique flexibility of Texas Hunter’s Hide-Away Window System makes this brand the clear choice among professional hunters and photographers around the country.

And, the unique size and design of Texas Hunter’s blinds reduces the need to move around inside before taking a shot - which improves your chances considerably. By placing a Texas Hunter Shooter’s Chair – with a silent 360-degree swivel - each four-foot-square area becomes the perfect size for turning silently and shooting out any direction without having to get up and move. Blinds with five or six feet of interior space almost always require you to move to the closest window in order to shoot, and this movement wastes time and can cause enough noise to miss the opportunity. The combination of the space, huge window openings and flexible window configurations make Texas Hunter the clear choice among hunters throughout America.

4. Durability

Durability is important when investing in a product that will be outdoors for years to come. The last thing you should worry about after purchasing a hunting blind is maintaining it. Blinds made from wood can be heavy, expensive and must be painted on a regular basis to protect the wood and prevent it from rotting. Steel blinds rust over time. Fiberglass can crack and is hard to repair. Thin plastic is just that, thin and flimsy.

With Texas Hunter’s exclusive Starboard XL Marine Grade siding, you get the peace of mind of a dense, thick all-weather material made to last.

5. Comfort

Being comfortable in a deer blind may seem like a real stretch, but with Texas Hunter’s blinds, you can get out of the cold and stay comfortable all season. Enjoying your time in the tranquil outdoors - by yourself or with family and friends - starts with being relaxed and comfortable.

Designed with a large interior space, the Texas Hunter Trophy Blinds are tall and roomy, with a 6-foot 3-inch overall interior height. It’s a welcoming escape from the elements, with lots of legroom and plenty of space to stand and stretch. The huge 4’ x 8’ ‘Double’ blinds easily accommodate three adults comfortably, and feature a full 32 square feet of floor space.
