Field Bully Dog Blind -GORE OPTIFADE Marsh

At first look and attempt, this is a perfect thing. Light but not flimsy, great break down and setup, 9 year old dog didn’t love the idea of a new “kennel” (blind) at first but some gentle sessions with some treats did the trick. She loves it now. Can’t wait to brush it in and hunt!!

We’ve used numerous blind products from other companies over the years but none fit the bill like rig,em,rights field blind. The biggest pro for it is it’s highly lightweight and packability. You’re not lugging around metal frames or thick fibers that soak water or snow in-which ads weight. It’s perfect for packing tight or walking in with the straps that come on it. There’s numerous field hunts where we had 1/2 mile -1 mile drags from truck and the blind packed in tight on the sled or I just threw it over my back. It pops out tight and holds its form surprisingly very well which has still held form 7 years later! Now I train with it a lot so I have bleached the color in it but that’s it sitting out in sun most of year. The brush loops on the side are incredibly durable so no worry about tearing them when your jabbing brush in the sides before hunt! I won’t use a different field blind! The only con, which is to be expected is there’s not much of a water draining option for the dog when it comes from a water retrieve, so if it’s frigid cold I’d like to see a draining system like an small elevated stand or mesh bottom in the future.

Haven’t used it in a hunting situation but so far it works well while my dog is training. Love how it condenses down so it doesn’t take up much room on the pack in and out. In the process of adding grass for field hunts.

No set up required. Unbuckles, springs into place in less than a second. It's literally an instant set up. You can use grass to further camouflage it. Takedown in less than 5 seconds total. I have no cons. Great for fields. Fyi I don't believe this would suit needs if your standing in water because this will not keep your dog above the water. Best easy to use field blind there is.

This blind is awesome, keeps my dog tucked away, dry and on a nice pad up out of the mud. I had her out in a huge rain storm on Wednesday and it kept her out of the rain. It’s compact and portable, stupid easy to set up and worth every penny! 10/10!
