Thanks very much, great hide and can't wait to use it again for my mammal work! Not sure about the Reds though, lol.. You too and thanks R 👍

Richard such a fantastic review on the Hokki V3!!! It would be the one I would use for sure for waterfowl. So glad your a Tragopan ambassador! Cheers from Ontario, Canada

Thanks Lisa very kind of you. With your type of photography it would be perfect! Saying that the images you get without one are superb! Imagine what you could do with one, lol.. Thanks again Richard 😉👍

Another great informative review Richard. The Tragopan hides do look great bits of kit and what I like about this one is the small size for carrying around. Cheers Keith

Excellent review Richard. I normally through a camo poncho over myself when I'm doing low level photography. This hide looks so much more comfortable. All the best Steve.

Thanks Steve, I've also got a Poncho but for long waits and overnight sessions these hides are superb and are built to last. Cheers Richard

Really nice review Richard, I'll be in the market for a new hide later this year. Seems very well thought out mate👍

Hi Martyn, thanks very much indeed I really enjoy doing the Tragopan reviews and I really believe in the products and certainly would not recommend them if I didn't think they were any good. Don't always need a hide but when you do they are superb. Cheers R

I just received this week my V6 and vestibule; can't wait to get it outside and give it a go!

Great review. I've been looking at the V6 and V3 but can't decide LOL. What are those mats you use in side ?

@RichardBirchett

Thanks Simon, great hides.. all rounder the V6 would be the choice due to the versatility but for designated low work! V3 all the way... hard not to fall asleep in it! They are inflatable ground mats, military issue 👍

Great review Richard .... I might invest in one :-)

Nice hide but a bit niche for my requirements. I'll probably end up with the Tragopan as my Simon King Hide is utter rubbish and on it's last legs despite me repairing it 3 times now. I need to get an order in soon so that I have it in time for April and hopefully a summer in Cornwall.

Hi Steve, I think it is a niche one but they really are superb hides and one for all types of photography! Yes the SK hide isn't the best from what I've seen and heard, hope you do get one and fingers crossed all goes well to get to Cornwall for your holiday. Cheers R

@@RichardBirchett Hi Richard. The Taragopan hides are expensive but all of them look well designed with attention to detail, quality materials and workmanship self evident. The SK hide is junk in comparisson and expensive junk at that. Things are looking better for getting to Cornwall. I missed the peregrines fledging last year and don't want to miss it this year.

I'd really love to have one of these but I haven't come across anywhere where I'd be able to set on up and not risk getting it stolen.

Hi Tom, they are superb but also attractive to the wondering eye! I wouldn’t leave mine anywhere that wasn’t private! Sure to go missing, if you get access to private land it’s always a possibility. Cheers R 👍
