Which hide?

Hi all,


So i'm looking for a hide.

What will i use it for:

Mainly for photographing elks, deer, boar ..
So the windows must not be too high, i want to be on eye level with my subject.

Space:

The hide needs to be big enough for two photographers and two tripods and some backpacks with gear and of course two chairs.


I looked on the website and the easy up seems like a good hide, but will it be large enough?

Hope u guy's / girls can help me out
Greetings

Sorry for the late reply, i have not been on the forum as much recently, to many external commitments. I would recommend one of the two hub hides, either the 360 elite or the 360 pro, these two hides will give you space and allow you and your friend to get a 360 view around the hide, giving you the best chance to spot your subjects, my only concern is the window heights may not be low enough to get head height with your boars.

Thanks for the replay Steven.
I think i'll go for the Elite,

Still one question:

The door where u enter the hide can be opened from the bottom?
If so, that would be a option to photography boars.


Regards,

Photo Hide

Once you have the knack of opening the Elite hide, it is a great piece of kit. There is plenty of room for two - with all the gear

Also plenty of windows through which to view/photograph. Tripods do no take up too much room as there is a facility for slotting the forward led of the tripod through a purpose made slot in the wall of the hide, thus allowing the photographer to get closer to the wall of the hide.

A small lightweight stool and a thermarest mat and you have all the comforts of home if you have a long wait!

Today my elite hub was delivered !
After opening the box i was pleasantly surprised, the hub has great camo pattern.

At first it was a bit difficult setting up the hide, but once u get the knack, it's actually really easy !

The hide is a lot bigger then the hide i owned before and that is what i was looking for !

Nice delivery Ultimate Nature Gear, and other forum members, thanks for helping me chose which hide to buy !

I uploaded a few pictures, they are made with the use of my old hide.
I think that i will archive full frame shots of roe deers and elks with the elite, because this hide really blends in !!
they did a really great job , great camouflage !

I still need to go in the field with the elite, but i don't have a lot of time right now ..
I'm doing a vacation job right now (to save up some cash for a expensive hobby ).
But when i have time i'll go straight to the woods !


Greets !
