Waterfowl Dog Blinds

Post by LabGuy » Thu Mar 28, 2013 7:46 am

Just wanted to hear everyone's opinion on the brand/type of dog blinds they use when waterfowl hunting. My pup is only 8 weeks old but am looking to buy one and make him comfortable with it over the course of the summer and into fall. My lab should top out between 65 and 75 lbs, so that should give everyone an idea of the size of blind that I need. Here are the blinds that I am considering so far.

Avery Finisher - I hate the Avery Finisher laydown blinds so im skeptical about this one right away
GHG Ground Force - my #1 choice as of right now
Rig Em Right Bully Dog Blind - reviews are excellent but I haven't been able to look at one in person

Also, I order a ton of my waterfowling gear through Rogers Sporting Goods (best prices on ammo shipped to your door that I have found) and was wondering anyone has ever used their new "Pooch Palace" blind? Personally i think its taking the testosterone out of me as we speak even thinking about buying something called that :?

Thanks,
Justin

Ground Force & Mutt Hutt are both good. GF is best IMO. Roger's is a great place to do business with! Only 10 minutes from me.

I use the ground force. I had an avery for about three hunts and the bottom ripped and shortly after that it colapsed and was more like a doggy sleeping bag. Sometimes I just put my pup on my lap in my layout, he is a nice heater on cold days
