Ox Portable Hunting Blind, Pop-Up Hub Blind, Durable Oxhide Fabric, Panoramic Shooting Window, Bloodtrail Backwoods

I did a LOT of research before buying this blind, and I am incredibly satisfied with my purchase. It’s HUGE!!! but unlike other big blinds it doesn’t weigh a ton. It’s also super easy to set up. I love the hook and loop closure on the 180 window, the strap style adjustment of the gap, and the fact that me and my two kids hunted from this blind with plenty of room to spare! If you’re looking for a big blind for multiple people, stop looking and click buy now, because you found it! ***Update*** so I messed up and left this blind up after deer season and was super worried about finding it in shambles this spring. You’d think I would have learned my lesson with my Double Bull I had before...so I walked up on my blind to find the top collapsed and from a distance I thought for sure it was toast. I got closer and could see the room panel had filled up with about 30 gallons of water from all the rain and snow over the past few months. Key words here, “filled up!” I had never sat in it during the rain so I couldn’t speak to the waterproofing, but now I definitely can! I climbed in threw the window and started trying to lift the top panel as close to the center hub as I could. Finally got it up high enough for water to start draining and before I knew it I was able to pop the top panel back up and it was like it never happened. Not even one fracture pole. My buddy who was with me was shocked and asked me where I got it, lol. So seriously, just buy this thing already. It’ll likely be the last blind you ever have to buy.

Update! It’s now November 2024 and it still performs great! Had this in my shopping cart for the past six months and finally pulled trigger and bought one. I used an older two person Barronett Blind for the past ten years. The Ox 5 is amazing. The same easy set-up as the four sided versions. The extra room is awesome. The window is adjustable from just a small gap to over a foot wide opening. The material is the best part. Super thick and extra durable. Blocks the wind and holds in the heat from my small heater The zippered door is large and easy to enter and exit. Everything about this blind is going to be a game changer on your hunt. It’s heavy, around 30lbs, so be prepared to hump it in to your spot. Do yourself the favor and just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve turkey hunted for over 30 years. I always used the Double Bull from Primos. But when I found this blind I was amazed with how spacious it was. The functionality of this blind is amazing. Barrett did an amazing job inventing this blind. You could easily fit 3 people inside this blind with all your gear. I have now purchased two of them. I’ll never use another blind besides these from now on! Oh yea, and the price is significantly lower than Primos.

Well there are no likes or dislikes to this blind... it’s nothing but love for this blind! I’ve used primos and ameristep or however you spell it. But Barronett our does every single one of them with this! The OX 5 is perfect, it’s a heavy duty material that doesn’t feel like it’s gonna just rip apart in the first wind storm. It’s insanely easy to setup, had mine from the bag to setup in under 3 minuets. They beefed up the stakes for securement. But the slides on this inside, ugh sooo nice!!! They take a second to figure out but once you do, there’s no more loud Velcro or zippers. I have the pentagon and it’s a lighter material, and Velcro “shoot through” mesh and I hate Velcro, nothing worse then getting out to the blind and having to change something and hearing that annoying Velcro “rriiiippppp”. This OX5 takes the cake in every way! Ohh I almost forgot, the room inside! It’s incredible, I can fit me, my wife, our two bows, camera and tripod comfortably in this. I’ll defin be buying another one this coming year!

Best value for the money. Durable and quiet. Enough room for two cots, two hunters, camera gear and more. Tall enough to shoot your bow standing. Shoot through mesh does not utilize Velcro and is easily removed by lowering it. You can maneuver the windows very easily by sliding straps (that lock in place). I have used this for both turkey and whitetail. By far the best, quietest and most durable blind I have ever owned. Suggestions: Wax the zippered door to quiet it down. Apply UV application often to preserve color pattern. I sewed together (double thickness) multiple mover blankets to create a soft and quiet floor. Dig a 6" x 6" trench around it for wet season. FYI: HME has some great ground blind accessories. Cons: The only real "con" I found was when carrying the bag on my back. The straps are very comfortable and rugged. But, they are too close together. The straps on the carrying bag were too close together for my liking. That's me being nitpicky.

Best window system out there.... fabric is on par with Double Bull Blinds. Easy set up and take down and comes with stakes that don’t need to be replaced. For half the cost of what I consider to be the first and best blind, the Double Bull, you are cheating yourself by not buying one.... surprisingly, even though it is a much bigger blind, I set up and brushed this blind in this week in 15 mins and my wife, dog (80 lb lab), me and two tripods/packs/crossbow and bow hunted from it comfortably and with room for either of us to shoot. That isn’t possible from other blinds. We did have to make an adjustment to the netting as the angle of the sun hit it just right and it was difficult to see out but I was able to quickly and quietly drop the netting in 30 seconds. The zipper on the entry door is also heavy duty and has more teeth per inch than any of the other blinds I’ve used (DB, Ameristep, Cabelas).... that means it is more quiet coming and going and operates more smoothly.

I used this blind last season for archery deer hunting, had it set up for three months and the roof collapsed once, however there was at least a good eight inches of wet snow on it so it was to be expected and no damage. This blind has been through quite a few heavy winds and stayed in place. This blind is a very well built blind compared to other big brand blinds that i have owned. Pros - huge, excellent for archery hunting with plenty of room for two bigger guys with tons of space to store your stuff. - the ox hide fabric is awesome you can definitely tell it is top notch material compared to other blinds on the market. - before I put this blind out in the bush I sprayed it with a silicone protectant, as I do with all of my blinds it stood up to some pretty significant down pours and it only leaked by 2 seams near the windows barely noticeable. - the brush loops are good solid and sturdy with no issues. - the front window allows for a great view basically 180 degree if not more view. The window system is pretty easy to operate once you figure it out, no zippers or velcro. Hook and loop system and an adjustable attachment to open and close window. The rear peep windows are zipper and can be noisy on a quiet day. - the ground stakes that come with this blind are great, solid and sturdy unlike the cheap flimsy ones that come with the other blinds. - I am 6'2" and I can stand up at the center of the blind however can't shoot my bow from a standing position due to the window position. Cons - The door for this blind has a zipper and very loud when entering the blind, also very narrow, challanging to get in with your bow and gear, wish it was alittle bigger. - poping up the roof of the blind can be alittle challenging when you are by yourself but other than that it was an easy setup. - the backwoods blood trail camo pattern is neat, however I wish it came in a mossy oak or real tree pattern better for where I hunt. All that being said this is the best blind I have owned, there is allways room for improvements but i am verry satisfied and have it set up now ready for another great season. A friend of mine calls this blind the tajmahall of blinds and i couldn't agree with him more.
