Hey guys I am in the market for a new layout Blind. I will use it for duck and goose hunting. I figured I would start looking now since alot of places put their duck hunting stuff on sale. I want something fairly light and packable size. One other key thing I am
Looking for is I want to have the framed shooting door. If y'all could please give me any input on what blind to get I would appreciate it since no places ever have them out and on display. Thanks a lot!

Hard to beat the xlander unless your a big boy

I'll have to look at that one.

Just looked at the xlander. It's nice but I need something with the framed door panels

Saw a bag this past weekend that was also a decoy bag. Thought that was dang cool.

The migratory forum is full of opinionated duck and goose hunters.

I like the Avery Finisher that I have the best of the 4-5 models I've tried. It would be better if it had back-pack straps though.

Yup I have had a lot of different ones. Any FA one is gonna be good. But this last year I have hunted out of a rogers tough man and I like it a lot. Rogers are pretty cheap as well and have good shipping. My buddy has hunted out of a redhead one for going on four years and its still going. Just some ideas.

Stay away from the power hunter

Avery M2 is awesome! Easy to put up and take down! I hunted out of one 20+ times this year and loved it!

My vote goes with the finisher too.....I'm 6'4 560 and can lay in it no problems. plenty of room for shells and whatever else you want in there comfortably

Avery groundforce. Nothing fancy about it but it sets up in two snaps and has held up for me for two season of hard hunting. Folds nice and flat to fit into a boat or on you back. I like it mainly because the doors fly open easily. Hard to appreciate until you have hunted out of some that you have to push the doors open or ones without framed doors.

Same here. I like how roomy it is..

you didn't like my power hunter?

Ive got a pacific outdoors (no longer made by them.) Its HUGE and very roomy, but if you want a small profile i wouldnt look at one. I recently bought a Cabelas Northern Flight Ultimate on sale and i love it. Ive got a bunch of room inside and its a semi low profile blind. Not to mention that it has 10" of waterproofing (basically a neo tub without the crazy price!)

It's got two poles....and no issues opening.

The frame doors blind usually have a higher profile

Does the Cabelas Ultimate have good backpack straps?

I'll buy another layout when they build one with 4 inch foam from the back past where my butt sits, not a pain in the butt to carry, waterproof both top and bottom and can easily cover my body. The latter of the requirements is not easy to do.

Wal, you can get a heated pad from lake Bonneville layout boats

I have used an old lawn lounge chair cushion, however the doors don't close anymore

x2 just got one this year and really like it

Eliminator SUB

Lol, this one is not as wide

would the doors close in the first place?

I know my doors wont

560 lbs? Dang!

There are a lot of variations but the one I tried has backpack straps. Even with the backpack straps it was too heavy for the long walk-ins we have around here.
