A spring gobbler’s obliviousness to a ground blind is difficult to understand. Normally, this all-seeing, all-hearing, elusive creature can pick up an ear twitch at 50 yards, yet you can pop a large ground blind like the Carnivore in the middle of a field, and a gobbler will walk right past it. Such behavior may seem to diminish the need for camouflage in a blind, yet whitetail deer usually populate the same habitat. So just as a gobbler comes into range, if a deer snorts the alarm the game is over. My calendar is marked one month ahead of opening day and I’ll be setting up a Carnivore blind with minor brushing so that deer become used to its presence. Here’s why its my choice.

A ground blind allows a hunter to make those last second moved undetected and is particularly important to archers.

Fabricated with Durashell Ruggedshield HD fabric, the Carnivore Hunter Blind is flat-out tough. There is no risk of tearing or poking holes in the Carnivore when hunting the blind in thick, rugged locations. A 360-degree magnetic window curtain provides complete range for viewing and shooting. The Carnivore also has a ground skirt, a great feature that keeps scent in, while keeping ticks and other unwanted critters out.The Carnivore offers maximum concealment with the patented Edge ReLeaf, which breaks up hard edges, and the blind blends in perfectly with its Realtree Xtra camouflage pattern. The ground skirt also keeps light from entering the blind, a huge advantage in concealing the hunters inside.

The Carnivore Ground Blind includes tent stakes and tie-down rope. It also comes with a backpack that makes it easy to take the blind to hard-to-reach hunting areas while your hands are free to carry other gear.Whether they take to the woods with a bow, crossbow, firearm or a camera, today’s ground blind hunters demand the best. At Ameristep, the outdoor lifestyle isn’t just a hobby or a past time, it’s a way of life with roots that run as deep as a the mighty oak. That level of passion shows in products like the Carnivore Hunter Blind.
