      West Houston archery has turtle blinds and Krivorman blinds, both are good blinds with plenty of room. For the prices I like the Krivorman a little more but both will do what you want. Way better than a popup

          Been in both. Krivoman hands down. Wouldn't deal with that turtle guy if he was giving em away. Wasted 3 months getting the run around finally told him to forget it and ordered 2 Krivomans last year. Now I want another one!

            I have sat in both, and I think Krivoman blinds are better.

              Both are good blinds. I own 2 turtles and we have 4 krivos on the lease. I would buy the krivo. its a turn key operation. the turtle you will have to assemble . used to be the door was the weakest point on both. that said, Krivos' new door is much better and no longer an issue.

                The Blind Turtles are awesome. If you get one, I recommend getting black. Sounds counter-intuitive, but hear me out. I've had one of all three colors and am speaking from experience.

                Sunlight will penetrate the tan or green colored ones and light you up, especially with the tan. This makes it a good idea to paint the inside black if you don't want to be seen by deer.

                But sunlight does not penetrate through the black one. No matter which color you get, you'll want to camo the outside. So you might as well get black and not have to do anything to the inside. A lot less work and a lot less paint.

                      I have one and also want to know.

                      Also the previous poster was right you need to paint the inside black. Use roll on paint. Faster and cheaper.

                        I just noticed you posted the blind turtle web, not the link to a distributor... http://www.jwwildlifeco.com/blindturtle.htm

                        The black colored blind is not listed on either of those websites. I'm not sure it ever was, now that I think about it. But they are (or at least were) available, you just had to ask for it.

                        Here are some pictures that show the difference between having the inside blacked out or not in the tan version...
