Guest whitetail95 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 This is for the canadian deer hunters. Do any of you hunt out of ground blinds. If so do they retain your body heat in cold temperatures. Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: ground blinds Not really-but a little heater keeps them pretty toasty-they do keep the wind out to some extent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: ground blinds Never hunted deer out of a ground blind, but I have hunted timberwolves out of them. it's basically a 4x4x6 or 5x5x6 shack on the ground. I use 4 candles, one in each corner. It can be -20 out and those 4 candles sure take the chill off. It doesn't take much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetro Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: ground blinds We've made our own ground blinds we used old hockey sticks and burlap. The blinds remain up in the spots where they're built in the spring for turkey that way they've discoloured a little for the fall. However I find the burlap doesn't cut the wind too much.

superguide Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Re: ground blinds Put a roll of toilet paper in a metal coffee can-than pour a jufg of methyl hydtrate on it so it soaks it up-you can light that and it will keep you toasty for quite awhile. An old armchair works good in there too to keep the chill off your back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moose Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Re: ground blinds Hi I use ground blind alot when I hunt fresh logged areas. I use a pop up style with a chair and a Colman Black Cat heater. The small bottle lasts about 8 hrs. (2000 btu) One of my hunters killed a 160 buck out of one of my blinds at 40 yards.
