Banks Stump Blinds have been built in Cannon Falls, Minnesota since 1994 by Midwestern hunters who sit in them every fall. Banks blinds are rotomolded from thick, UV stabilized polyethylene with a bark textured finish that won't rot, and their windows open silently and seal tight to keep your scent inside. Every inch of the design shows years of field testing, and it is the reason these are the hunting blinds we put our own name behind.
Our owner, Jason, is a four season hunter who has chased game across North America with a rifle, a compound bow, and a crossbow. When he heads out on his family's farm, he hunts from Banks blinds. He doesn't stock them because they look good on a showroom floor. He stocks them because he trusts them through early bow season, the rifle opener, and the late season cold, and he wanted every hunter who walks into our store to have the same option.
The Stump 2 is a two person blind with a walk in door that swings out to save interior room and windows on every side for a full 360 degree view. The Stump 4 opens up to 31.5 square feet inside a 77 inch diameter shell, enough for four hunters or a bowhunter who needs room to draw in any direction, with an optional steel leg base to get you up off the ground. At 250 and 400 pounds, both blinds are light enough to relocate when the deer change their habits. As one of the Midwest's largest Banks dealers, we keep both on display and in stock for pickup at our Marinette, Wisconsin store.
Don't confuse a Banks blind with the bargain lookalikes on big box shelves. Assembly kits, missing floors, flimsy windows that rattle, and thin walls that let every sound and scent out add up fast once you are in the field. A Banks blind costs about what you'd spend building a quality stand yourself, without the weekends of work, and it will outlast anything you could nail together. Buy it once, hunt from it for decades, and keep a good hunting knife on your belt for when the waiting pays off.
