Innovations in Hunting Blinds: What’s New This Year

We’re about to jump into turkey season, so let’s take a look at what’s new in the world of hunting blinds for 2025. This year, Banks Outdoors has upped the ante on their accessories. We’ve debuted new equipment and attachments that will make your spring turkey season, summer off season and fall deer season as efficient and effective as possible. Check out this week’s blog for the new innovations of 2025.

Window Visor Kit

This year, Banks Outdoors debuted a new Window Visor Kit that can be attached to the windows of any Stump blind. The small but mighty window accessories attach to the top of your window like a mini awning or roof to keep snow and rain off of your windows. Rain and snow have never been an issue for Stump blinds. They are quick-drying, so any moisture accumulated from rain or snow will quickly evaporate, but in the meantime, when you’re hunting in an active snow or rain storm, you’ll be able to see out of your window without any obstruction from the weather. This will be incredibly helpful as you hunt turkeys during April rain showers. You can specify which Stump blind you have when ordering the bundle and the kit will come with enough visors for each window of your blind.

Trail Runner 62 Trailer

The Trail Runner 62 Trailer holds up to 1,500 pounds and comes equipped with durable, off-road tires so you can easily haul multiple harvested wild game off your property, which is convenient when you’re hunting with a group and each of you fills your tags. It also has six cargo tie-down holes for you to secure the deer with.

Trail Runner 62 Sled

The Trail Runner 62 Sled has all of the same functionality as the trailer, but doesn’t come with tires or the steel hitch. You can purchase the Steel Hitch separately to add it to your sled or any blind.

Trail Runner Rail Kit

You can add a three-sided rail to the trailer with our Trail Runner Rail Kit for maximum efficiency. The extra height will allow you to pile more into the trailer, so you can continue to use the trailer to haul wood, bricks, or other landscaping and maintenance tools throughout the year.

Trail Runner 2” Coupler Adapter

Also new for 2025 is the Trail Runner 2” Coupler Adapter. You can use this adapter with your trailer and attach it to any standard 2-inch ball hitch on your blind or ATV. This makes transferring your wild game and Stump blind around the hunting property ultra easy. You can attach the Stump blind to your ATV and your Trail Runner to your Stump Blind all in one convenient parade line to drive around the property.

Our Stump blinds are carefully crafted for maximum efficiency, from our insulation to the polyethylene exterior coating and circular design. When we saw an opportunity to innovate the stealthiness of our windows, we created the one-way Phantom Windows in 2023. That same year we debuted the 90-inch diameter, eight window, Stump Sequoia blind. This year, our Window Visor and trailer accessories will help you reach that next level of hunting efficiency.
