ALPS Outdoors has announced the latest version of its Deception Ground Blind, now in Mossy Oak Bottomland—a long-time favorite of turkey hunters everywhere. The Deception boasts a low 46-inch profile, a light weight, small footprint and four-hub design, all combining for an easy and quiet setup. The aluminum hubs are constructed with engineered tips and pins, while the frame uses strong, flexible fiberglass poles. For fabric, a durable polyester is utilized, with blacked-out backing for extra concealment. Easy access and a wide field-of-view are achieved with a 270-degree SILENT-Trac window system, and an extra-large door with an oversized number-10 zipper. Finally, two interior pockets keep gear accessible and organized, while a shoulder-strap carry bag eases transportation. For more information on this portable ground blind, visit alpsbrands.com.
