I was out the other day hunting in saskatchewan. I was sitting in a blind from 730am to 6pm. It was -20c and a windchill of -31. I was cold. It all payed off though

[Rich_D]

So how does one stay warm when sitting that long in a blind? Heated apparel?

It's 1C here and I have my propane blind heater running.

[mikeboehm]

I used under armour cold gear compression layer first then a layer of merino wool baselayer, then a layer of cabelas extreme cold baselayer then a fleece sweater then my browning 700 fill goose jacket, then my cabelas iuter jacket, then my blaze orange coverup. For boots I used my irish setter elk trackers(1000gram) and a set of ice breaker boot blankets. For gloves I used cabelas canadian stand glomits. And a cabelas fleece belaclava

Is there really a bad day to be sitting in a blind?

[Rich_D]

I think someone else got my buck yesterday evening. Saw a kill site 20yds off the road up a hill, tire marks to the hill, drag marks to the tire tracks and a lone Doe today. The buck was hot on the doe's heels yesterday morning but was not following her today.

I was sitting for about 5 hrs yesterday and for a couple today, 3 or 4 degrees and raining 80% of the time. The walls of my 'blind' were salmon berries and elderberries and the roof was the hood on my Rivers West jacket :confused: One of these dog house type ground blinds are starting to sound pretty good. .......

[Buckmeister]

This is where I was sitting today, except there was snow on the ground. The second picture is the blind I placed my buddy in, he shot a 2 point whitey from there this morning.

yup.
my blind was in my truck too, but there I was, sitting/standing out in the rain, trying to keep a scent stick burning while trying to see through the stream of water running of the brim of my Australian kakadu hat.
I had wisely switched my toque for it before leaving the truck.
I only lasted a couple hours, but was all good, since the deer weren't moving through there anymore anyway.

It doesn't have a name yet. I make them myself from used calf hutches. I also offer them for sale to anyone interested.

plywood/hard-bottom floors?

[Buckmeister]

plywood/hard-bottom floors?

Nope, open bottoms, which if placed on a grassy or dirt surface makes movements in the blind quieter. They are made from high impact plastic so they can take a fair amount of abuse. I plan on letting these sit in place all year round on the private property I have access to. Only issue is transportation as they are around 7 feet in diameter. Had to take these ones up with a flat deck trailer, delivered the one right to the meadow, but the other I had to carry in with my 2 boys about 300 yards down an old skid trail.

I have these in region 8, and tomorrow is last day of gun season. So if I don't get my buck tomorrow, I will be crossbow hunting out of these as well.

[Sofa King]

calf hutches.
but for deer.
call them dutches, or dutch ovens.

[DawsonCreedmoor]

Do you have the rectangle shaped hutches as well? or just the domes?
