If you can lay in it and camo it up, then it's just fine

+1. If you can fit in it, and it's comfy enough to lay in it, then $88 is a really good price. You end up covering them with whatever is around you anyways so the rest is kind of just nit-picking if it's the lowest to the ground on the market, if it is easy to carry, if it breaks down for storage, if it comes with padded heated seats, if it can fit two guys ( :lol: )


Don't forget to mud them before you use them. Brown rattle can paint works too.

Anyone remember before layouts? Used to have sheets of burlap and had to zip tie the natural cover to it. Laying out in a muddy field with a sheet of burlap covering you and no where to put your crap sucked monkey balls. With that said, those blinds will be fine.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

I don't have much experience in my layout blind so far but I'd say those will work as long as you can fit in them.

I still do this. That blind is awesome. Only field hunt maybe once a year though.

I used a piece of burlap while laying on a piece of plywood leaned on a milk crate for my first two years. It wasn't that bad. For $88 I would jump on a layout though....

When I first started hunting on leased land(Flooded Rice) with a buddy, we would sit in the water leaned up against the little mud levee's and put a sheet of fast grass over us. What a mess we made of everything, but we killed ducks.
