What I would like to see, as mentioned several times, is a green KW-3 pullover cover for our blinds. A KW-3 blind would be sweet, but just not versatile enough. You can hide a brown blind in a green field, but you cant hide a green blind in a brown field.. its just not gonna happen. If you only made the blinds in KW-3 and not a pullover cover, we would have to buy two of the same blind and I simply cant afford that.
As for the color, I think that something similar to old shadow grass would be the ticket.. but rather than it being mostly tan with a little green, have it be mostly green with a few blades of tan. That would be lights out for the pastures we hunt.

Thanks for the suggestion. We are always looking for hunters to give us ideas of what they want. Keep them coming.

That would be the ticket! A cover like the snow cover but green. It would definitely be a great seller. Most of the early season hunting is in green fields, so a cover like this would be a great product to make! I'll take 2.

i also would like to see a green cover for layout blinds.it would be alot easier than switching out grass colors every time you changed hunting terrain.

Something like this for the color. Not too dark with a little bit of yellow.

NZ is all green! There has not been a green camo produced yet suitable for pasture hunting, but I am sure Avery could do it! I think it would be a big hit.

i think that pattern would do the trick. I could do better on photoshop, but i didnt feel like making it perfect. Just wanted to see how it would blend it. I roughly cut out the shape of my power hunter from that pattern and stuck it on a picture of my power hunter. Looks like a two year old did it, but you get the idea.

mike we use wild cane that grows along the river. it looks alot like the pic you did on photoshop. it works pretty well for us. though a kw-3 cover would be nice.

Our geese like to be on the green all season it seems. Our season is over now but we have plenty of geese around and they're all on green grass, sometimes on people's lawns. We just had a ice storm yesterday and there are about 1500 geese a quarter mile up the road all sitting on green grass.
I would love to have green cover for the layouts.

Interesting. I'd say if we do it, it will be a cover to buy as an accessory, not a whole new blind. I don't think we'd have enough sales. Our Winter Wheat KW kit is probably our slowest KW seller.

Any chance there will be KW-1 pullovers for blinds? I would really like one for my GF!

I think a green cover that was priced like the snow covers would be a big hit, geese on green fields is a bigger market, and winter wheat is easier to hide in vs a mowed field or a sod farm situation.
it is your worst seller because it does not match winter wheat at all. Now match winter wheat in all its differant colors and you will have an A seller on your hands. Before you reply I do understand that that feat is impossible. WW just has too large of a color spectrum to match in mass production imo. I hope you guys prove me wrong though I truely do.

A blind cover is perfect. Here is a pic of what we hunt day in and day out, its dairy country out here and green is the name of the game. Me and JeffD4L take our blinds out to another field that has taller grass and stubble the heck out of our blinds the day before because this fields grass is too short to get under the straps. the blinds weigh 17lbs before we grass'em and about 30 after we pack grass in every stubble strap. It would be nice to have a green blind to work with.

That blind is only half grassed too, we pulled most off before we took pics.
Final Approach made green 'cornfield camo' covers at one time. They were the cats ass!
If Avery made them, I would buy several real quick.

I sure like that idea. Green camo pull over covers for all 4 Avery Blinds. Sweet idea!

Great idea! Avery could even make covers in other patterns.

GREEN GRASS CAMO!!!
I have to spend hours getting our two blinds to hide like this in clover and grass pasture hunts. I'm sorry, but the Winter Wheat killer weed does not have the depth and range of colors to make it effective. With a true grass camo, you could simply add a bit of 'stubble' and have an outstanding hide.
Here is a Migrator and Finisher fully assembled. Give me a camo that could act as a true grass camo pattern with all of the shades of light green, dark green, even that yellow green!
The blinds... after two hours of cutting and placing grass.

Most people hunt in grass / winter wheat for a portion of the season with great success. Grass CAMO blind covers...PLEASE!
