Lets hear the pros and cons on the upper end blinds you have used. Looking to buy 6-8 in the next couple weeks and looking for some feedback.

Texas Wildlife Supply blind is great. Bought one several months ago and it was a great investment

We have Ranch King. Couldn't ask for a better blind. Windows and door seal up well. Only con is the price

How deep are your pockets? If they are deep, buy Ranch King and be done with it, no need to shop around.


How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

We have the ranch king and they are really good blinds that will last for a real long time , oh watch out for that mark guy lol.
They are great guys to deal with we make a few parts for them for the stands.

They all have slight differences between them that will probably make the decision easier for you. Can't go wrong with any of them. I have PotBelly and Atascosa and will not buy another Pot Belly. The concept is nice but the windows and door leave a lot to be desired.

I've hunted out of an Atascosa the last few seasons and have often joked that if my wife leaves me, I'll be buying one of their bigger ones and living out of it full time!

Without a doubt MB Ranch King. I researched and looked at all the ones you mentioned. Ranch king, to me, had better quality/craftsmanship as well as added touches/details that sold me. I know a lot of people like the Atascosa but I personally would never buy one after looking at them. The finish out didn't compare to the Ranch King at all. I just wasn't impressed at all by them. Honestly, I would have bought the Bitter Creek but my main turn off was the windows and the way they opened. Otherwise, it was a strong second. Not to mention they are all aluminum making them super light weight. This is my opinion anyways.

I've never seen a Ranch King up close, but after Theringworm's review, looking forward to it!

We have 4 Ranch King blinds. Well built and comfortable. A Mr. Heater keeps it nice and cozy on the coldest days.

Ranch King are fantastic if looking for metal, and if you are looking for fiberglass go Boss Game Systems. Bought one this year and couldn't be happier with it.

Well I went with the ranch king. The first order got screwed up I got 3 of the 6 blinds I ordered and no towers. Now they don't even know when the towers and other blinds will ship not even any in stock. Hasn't been a good experience.

We have three fiberglass stands called "six shooters" so it has eight windows total and hexagonal in shape on each end. Let me tell you how awesome the windows are when it is windy. You can close or open certain windows to help trap scent or allow breeze as needed. We made a deal by buying all three at once with cash and paid $1750 each for them. Assembly ain't the easiest but well worth the trouble. Happy Hunting!
