Hunting hide recommendations

Post by wanderingkurt » 26 Feb 2017, 11:05

I need to really make a dent in the rabbit population on one of my permissions but the terrain is very flat and open with no cover at all for stalking. A neighbouring business has massive flood lights on at night so, even though it's hundreds of metres away, causes silhouetting.
My only option is to put up a hide and play the waiting game.
Although I shoot on my own I think I'd prefer a 2 person hide for increased space (for my flask and cakes) and so I can have a stretch.
Can anyone recommend a good hide? I'd rather spend a bit more for a really good one than pay twice.
Thanks.

I got given a single bushwear hide when first came out , thought it was a gimmick, .....I was wrong !
Comfy ,works....lots of view point, magnet mesh covered windows , keeps you out elements , pocket for a cup of tea & another for your .22 mags in both arms ....I bought a small set of collapsible twin sticks , look like tent poles ,joined internally by bungee , fine for sitting height ...the single is big enough in my opinion .

If you get one of those pop up hoopy things wait until you try to get it back in the bag :crazy: You need to start packing it two hours before you want to leave :lol: :lol:

Like Saur, also have a Bushwear single popup hide, more than big enough for the job, I put it beside a hedgerow and shoot the rabbits off a tripod as they come out, they soon get used to it and it has accounted for loads of them. Quite comfy in it as well. deerwarden.
