Last year was my first year with Goose and Duck hunting. I am a big guy (6'3" - 350#). Last year I barrowed a blind. It was ok, but a bit cramped. This year I want to buy my own layout blind. I found these blinds which are made for bigger hunters. Does anybody have any experience with any of these? The Names are hotlinked to Cabela's page on each. My friend that I hunt with likes the M2. It seems fine to me, but the others do too. Help me decide? Or suggest another? Remember, first priority is it needs to be BIG enough. I like this one, except the biggest downside is it would need camo'd, but It is the biggest one by a good 6" length and 5" width. 90"x42x20 Final Approach Guide XLAvery M2 22lbs 84"x37x19 Avery M2Avery Migrator 22lbs 84x36x10 Avery MigratorEliminator Pro Guide 20lbs 90"x42"x?

the pro guide should work great for you and is the best I have used. As far as camo We always mud up our blinds and then cover them in the natural grasses or corn stubble in the area we are hunting. Doing that should make you disappear in any field.

I was reading about mudding, and that seems like the best way to go. So I am not as worried about the camo. My friend did point out to me that the Final Approach needs to be "assembled" each time. It doesn't simply fold up.

we leave the pro-guide assembled and just carry it out that way. all of them need some assembly in the field though. The Pro-lander is the best overall blind on the market for size and low profile. Too bad I don't own one. I have a finisher, powerhunter, x-lander, and SUB. The x-lander is my favorite. The SUB is bigger it fits me and the dog.
