Hunting Blinds & Ground Blinds
Invisible on the stand, the photo hide and the birdwatching post

Hunting Blinds & Ground Blinds – quiet, light, invisible

It is the moment you got up early for: fog still hanging over the meadow, a roe deer closing in to 30 metres – with no idea you are there. A hunting blind (also called a ground blind or camouflage tent) turns any spot in your hunting ground into a fully-fledged stand: no silhouette, hardly any movement to give you away, far less scent carried on the wind. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find the hunting blinds and ground blinds from Primos Hunting – the US brand from Mississippi whose Double Bull line has ranked among the leading ground blind makers for years. The range spans from the ultra-light Stakeout blind for mobile hunting to the spacious SurroundView Double Wide for long sits with a partner. And because a blind is not just for the rifle, this category belongs equally to wildlife photographers and birdwatchers who want to observe undetected for hours.

What do you want to observe? Use cases at a glance

Choosing between a full ground blind and a stakeout blind comes down to how mobile you want to be, how long you sit and whether you head out alone or with a partner. Here are the key scenarios.

Still hunting from the ground

For the classic sit at ground level, a blind is the flexible complement to your elevated stand: place it wherever game is moving right now – along the field edge, at a feeding site, beside thick cover. The Primos Double Bull SurroundView Double Wide gives you something no conventional tent can: 300° of one-way see-through walls. You keep your entire surroundings in view without opening a window or sticking your head out. The zipperless double-wide door lets you slip in and out silently, even with a backpack and heavy winter clothing.

Mobile hunting with the stakeout blind

If you do not want to carry a tent, the stakeout blind is the answer: the Double Bull SurroundView Stakeout weighs about 2 kg, consists of two hub-framed panels and is deployed in seconds. Behind the 150 cm wide, 94 cm tall front you sit covered while the one-way walls show you everything moving ahead. Three triangular shooting windows open and close individually. Available in TRUTH Camo and Mossy Oak Greenleaf – to match the vegetation of your terrain.

Wildlife photography

No telephoto lens replaces proximity – and proximity only comes with concealment. From a blind you photograph fox, deer or badger at distances that would be unthinkable sitting in the open, for hours on end, without a single hand movement betraying you. The SurroundView see-through walls are worth their weight in gold here: you see your subject approaching long before it enters the frame and can line up camera and tripod calmly. For projects with a fixed location, choose the roomy Double Wide; for spontaneous sessions, the lightweight Stakeout.

Birdwatching and observation in Switzerland

Whether it is a lekking site in the pre-Alps, a fenland in the Mittelland or migrating birds resting at a lakeshore: watching birds takes patience – and cover that makes hours of sitting possible. A blind protects you twice over: from the sharp eyes of the birds and from wind and drizzle. Important for use in Switzerland: protected areas and wildlife refuges have access and usage rules – clarify your location with the responsible authority beforehand. On accessible ground, a blind is the most effective tool nature observation knows.

Pro setup: long sits for two

The Double Bull SurroundView Double Wide is the high-end model of this category: 152 × 152 cm floor space, 178 cm interior height, room for two people and their gear. Four one-way walls with built-in blackout curtains, an integrated sun visor for the critical minutes of low sun and the Power Hub frame for taut fabric make it the first choice for hunters and photo teams staying out all day.

Getting started: your first blind

You do not need 900 francs to begin: the Primos Hide-N-Sneak Hunting Blind delivers a 270° view with Silent Slide windows, a spring-steel assist door for quiet access and Brush Deception straps that let you attach branches and leaves from the surroundings directly to the blind. With a 147 × 147 cm footprint and 170 cm height it holds two people – at the most attractive price in the category.

Primos Hunting & Double Bull in our range

Primos Hunting – hunting gear from Mississippi since 1976

Primos Hunting was built by Will Primos in Mississippi, who made a name for himself from 1976 with self-developed game calls – today the brand, known by the slogan «Speak The Language», is one of the leading US manufacturers of game calls, shooting sticks and hunting accessories. Millions of viewers also know Primos from the TV series «Primos’ TRUTH About Hunting». The products are developed and field-tested by active hunters – and it shows in every detail of these blinds, from the near-silent window sliders to the well-engineered door solutions.

Double Bull – the ground blind pioneers under the Primos roof

Even before Primos acquired it in 2007, Double Bull was considered the benchmark in premium ground blinds. Under the Primos roof, the SurroundView series followed in 2018 – marketed as «The Blind Without A Blind Spot». The principle: thousands of tiny perforations run through the fabric. From outside, the eye locks onto the camo pattern and the holes stay invisible; from the darkened interior, your gaze passes through the perforations to the outside. The result is a field of view that conventional blinds with solid walls simply cannot offer. Primos backs the Double Bull SurroundView models with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Hunting blinds & ground blinds compared

Prices in this category range from around CHF 200 for the entry model to about CHF 900 for the flagship. Matching observation gear for your sit is waiting among our binoculars and thermal imaging devices.

Camo patterns compared: TRUTH Camo, Mossy Oak Greenleaf, Veil Camo

The best blind is worth little if the pattern does not match the surroundings. The three patterns in our range cover different vegetation profiles – from autumn-brown farmland to lush summer green.

Tip: with the Brush Deception straps of the Hide-N-Sneak and natural material from the surroundings, any pattern blends in even better. Where game moves at night, a trail camera helps you pick the right spot.

Using a blind in Switzerland: what to keep in mind

Hunting blinds and ground blinds are freely available in Switzerland. A few ground rules apply in the field:

• Check cantonal hunting regulations: hunting in Switzerland is regulated at cantonal level. Clarify with the responsible hunting authority which aids and installations are permitted in your hunting ground or licence area.
• Respect protected areas and wildlife refuges: seasonal access and usage rules apply in wildlife refuges and protected areas – check the local provisions before setting up.
• Ask the landowner: if you leave a blind standing on someone else’s land for an extended period, obtain the land manager’s consent first.
• Visibility to fellow hunters: a blind hides you from your hunting colleagues too. Coordinate stand locations and make sure your position is known.
• Backstop and field of fire: the basic rules of safe shooting apply from a blind as well – a clear line of fire, a safe backstop, no shots towards the horizon or crests.

Care and handling: keeping your blind ready for action

A blind is a working tool – with a little care it will last many seasons:

• Air it out before first use: pitch the blind outdoors for a few days. The fabric settles and the factory smell fades – important for scent-wary game.
• Store it dry: never leave wet fabric in the bag. Let it dry completely to prevent mildew and odour.
• Stay scent-neutral: avoid perfumed cleaners – remove heavy dirt with clear water and a brush.
• Check the frame: inspect the hub mechanism and poles for damage before the season and keep stakes and guylines complete.
• Practise the set-up: run through the set-up twice at home and you will have it standing in under a minute in the field – silently and without a headlamp.
