Ultimate Retriever Stand

As the name suggests, the Ultimate Retriever Stand provides the ultimate in concealment, protection from the elements, and versatility for your dog.  When we designed this blind and stand, we wanted it to be the most versatile, most functional, and easiest to transport product ever made. . .period.  With the Drake Ultimate Retriever Stand, you can use it as just a field blind, as a water stand, or in combination, as a water stand with the blind.  In each mode, our Ultimate Retriever Stand breaks down as flat as possible, straps neatly in place, won’t flop or open during transport, and will carry easily.  In combination, our blind and stand are lighter than anything else available and are easier to set up, break down and carry.

In the Field: 

Use the stubble straps to cover the blind with grass and local vegetation for concealment and add the PVC-coated bottom for protection against mud and cold.  In high-wind situations, use the ground stakes to secure the corners to the ground.  

In the Timber: 

The Retriever Water Stand is extremely functional and user-friendly for flooded areas.  The vinyl-coated mesh allows water to drain so that your dog will stay as dry as possible, helping him or her maintain core body temperature.  Adjust the legs individually for the perfect, level height.  Ball-mounted, tilt and swivel mud feet provide a stable base and will hold firmly in place.  For storage and transport, the Retriever Water Stand folds flat and securely. 

Ultimate Concealment in Flooded Cover:  

The ultimate solution for hunting timber or flooded grasses and vegetation.  Combine the two by attaching the Retriever Blind to the Retriever Water Stand with the Velcro flap and strips located on the bottom of the blind.  Use the transportation straps on the blind to secure it by wrapping them underneath the stand, connecting the buckles, and pulling the nylon webbing tight.  Protect your dog on the harshest days of the season by giving them a place to escape sub-zero air temperatures, cold winds, and precipitation.  Remove the PVC-coated protective blind floor to allow water to drain through both the blind and the stand.  As within the field, use the stubble straps to cover the blind with grass and local vegetation.
