I've had the FastGrass / QuickGrass system last year and loved it... I think the Shaggy one has a little more backbone to it from installing the QuickGrass however I'd like to see what other opinions are regarding the two and seeing as I'm hunting coastal areas & back marshes...

Both look to be well made blinds with good concealment. Personally, I would go for the fastgrass blind since you be hiding it similar marsh grasses. The Shaggy hunter does look good too and will conceal the boat just fine am just partial to the fast grass. The only downside for the fastgrass material is the fastgrass generally wears out after a few years of hard use, but is easy to replace and realtively cheap.

You may want to llok into the Avery Quickset Blind. I have heard many good things about the Avery Quickset blind and I know many serious duck hunters who use it and claim it to be one of the better blinds on the market today.

I think any one of these blinds will do well, just do some shopping and use your instinct.

I had the fast grass last year and liked it, however the setup mud buddy offered wasn't as up to par as I had hoped... There were some upgrades that I needed to take care of, but the setup I'll be working with on the new boat addresses all those so I'm torn...

Also, my friend has a Cabela's Northern Flight Blind onhis boat and it is a very nice blind, but he is wanting to upgrade to a Quick Set. He said they are a more user friendly blind overall. For what its worth. Good luck.

You can get this blind with just camo netting or with fastgrass or killer weed kits for a 3-D look (which I would recommend)

I'm leaning more towads the shaggy pro and using some of the killer weed kits to add 3-d look and feel depending upon hunting situation... A fastgrass blind would stick out in timber...

You hunt in timber?? Where at, I didnt know that timber was in the equation.

I have a few friends that live in LA and some more that live in KY... Have to be able to be versatile...

I spoke with Kyle over at Gator-Tail yesterday... Decided to have them put on my Blind there.. There blinds require no drilling which sold me instantly.. The fewer number of holes I have to drill the better... Also decided to extend the grab rail all the way down sides of the boats. This will allow places to tie down Dekes on the front and also will prevent me from having to drill cleates on the boat.

Yeah, I prefer not to prill holes to mount anything. Any blind will do, and it is always nice to have one from the same manufacturer as the boat and have them install it. Makes it easy and almost for sure a good fit and finish. I am looking forward to seeing your rig.
