Heated hunting
Connecticut
I built a platform stand 60-100 yards behind my house this summer. A buddy of mine said I should run an extension cord out to the thing and use an electric blanket in the winter :) so I started thinking I dont wanna camo up juat to wrap myself in a gray blanket and I need my arms free so... I think Im going to use a heated seat cover from a car and run it off my lawn tractor battery. The heated cover pulls 3.7Ah and the battery is 35Ah So I should be all good. I can also hook up a solar battery charger to keep it all good.
What do you guys think? Have you ever done any thing like this?
And do hate me for wanting to be warm
I have climbing sticks up to it now
That nest is awesome! All you need is Mr. Heater up there.
Deer wont smell the propane from a Mr. Heater? and do they make any noise?
A heated body suit and be done you will be warm no smell and you can take it to other spots but that was a good idea
I'd be sleeping in minutes!
I would get a heated body suit in a flash. But now were talking $350+. the seat cushion is only with the solar charger is only $50. Ya it only dose your back and ass but I dont have a lot to spend. I would be more than willing to buy yours for $100. Just send me a PM :)
Plug in a Mr coffee and your good to go
Agreed, for the hassle I would just buy a Heater Body Suit. Best investment my kids ever made for me! Shawn
That is one damn nice platform....good job!!!
Realy???todays woodsman. pathetic! this is a perfect example of todays modern southern new england hunter. Most of your typical CT hunters would starve in the real wilderness. without bait and confiens of limited habitat. what a f#@*en joke some of you guys are!
Eatvenison
your comments are kind of harsh, don't you think? Do you wear nice warm boots and wool socks during the cold part of the season? Why? How about that gortex coat rated to -20 degrees? Or the Wool cap? Warm gloves? Do have a nice portable stand, state-of-art compound bow, release, drop away rest, multi-pin sight, etc, etc?
I picture you running naked with just a loin cloth and a spear,.....am I correct? Or are you a spoiled modern day hunter? To each his own my friend,...we're all hunters.
You can't be naked and wear a loin cloth..no sir.its physically impossible..im trying it now..nope.lol
Looks like a stand we nick named the honeymoon stand down in PA.
You can have a square dance up there with all that room
notme - you are correct. Loin cloths should also be sized correctly to account for the early morning "full attention" or the cold water shrinkage. If you're in the honeymoon stand as Big D pointed out the loin cloth allows easy access as well ;)
Eatsvenison.......your comments are pathetic and everyone adapts to the cold according to their own personal beliefs, who are you to question anyone's toughness......probably softer than drug store cotton.
Technology.....you are aware of that, or are you still using a stone hammer from the Ice Age. If anyone is pathetic, with your loathsome and negative comments, I'd say it's you!!!
Hell I have a 4' by 6' enclosed stand and in the rain or storms I love it had my wife break it in with me sure some would laugh but I sure put a smile on my face.
I don't wear a loin cloth but I definitly venture more than 60-100yard from the house. And never took into acount if an extension cord could make it to my stand. I stand my ground, most of you suck! you wait and shoot, but you don't hunt...and cunt#&%@city, I have no questions about anyones toughness on this site, it's pretty obvious, cunt#&%@city, or whatever you call yourself. Now put your hat on before you catch a cold and hurry home.
Welcome to CT, the home of "chasing tail" that show was pretty spot on about alot of you guys, this thread would have made a great episode!
Eats venison: are you as repulsive as you sound? Your blanket generalizations are absurd and meritless and, frankly, make you look quite foolish. I implore you to re-read your posts and really analyze the patently false statements abd character attacks, though I'm sure your ignorance will prevail and you'll respond to this post with more asinine remarks.
Eatsvenison......they have a cure for your grumpiness, it's called Viagra. Sounds like you haven't had any since it had you. Keyboard warrior, go fuck yourself. I hunt the Merritt parkway quite often, my name is Cary, just so you know I don't hide.
Just trying to level with you guys, your right it's not easy. anyone got some trail cam pics over corn piles??I love that $#it? can't wait to come to CT and sit over a corn pile with my snuggie, I think they should show snuggie commercials durring chasing tail!
Eatssomething you need to go crank one off to much build up.
Please read my earlier post. And I inc pirate by reference the other post to your offensive comments, which I echo very loudly. Didn't you ever learn that poison pen is just bad writing. That aside, baiting is legal in portions of CT. I'm sure you use a gun with a scope, which is legal, right. I guess that makes you a hypocrite and any others that would condone such lawful activities.
I've seen first hand the boxblinds that are used in Maine...what was posted here is a shanty compared to some of those.
Eastvenison, do you bear hunt? You have to, because you're only getting 1 deer and good luck on the moose tag. Deer over corn, eh?
That's why I don't go to Maine to many nut jobs there they have a show about them too I think its North Woods Law or something like that all I see is guys shooting deer at night is that's better than corn piles ? Steve
Yeah, and Maine's voters recently defeated the proposal to prohibit the use of dogs, bait or traps when hunting bears except under limited circumstances. Wow, hypocrisy at its finest.
I actually have 2 stands like the one pictured , both about a mile in..also have stands that are a 15 minute walk in..its all a matter of perspective and time
You guys are awsome, keep it coming, its the most creativity I've seen out of you guys in a while! don't loose momentum
You guys are awsome, keep it coming, its the most creativity I've seen out of yo uguys in a while! don't loose momentum
I don't hunt from a box blind, some coyote hunters do at night as seen on the show, I don't bear hunt, but you can slam the methods all you want as you beg for a bear season in your state, and I don't gun hunt. And steve, you couldn't find the forest thru the trees if you tried, when is the last time you shot a deer on more than ten acres?..I hope your all distracted from coming to a place like maine, I'm sick of looking for guys like you lost in the woods. And you can't bait here so I'm sure thats a big turn off. Tip on hunting ct, bring lots of corn and grain to make up for your lack of hunting abilities, and buy rage broadheads to make up for your lack of shooting abilities.
Eatvenison
I wise man once told me that when someone can't speak intelligently about a topic they resort to name calling and profanity. I asked you if you wore warm clothes during the cold season and if you used modern technology during your hunts. Can you answer the questions please?
Blatch, you don't have a f'n clue what your talking about. what kind of name is Blatch any way? carry on
Man I guess the only deer that matter are the ones shot 150yards from the road sitting on a tree branch with no harness on.True DIY hunts in the back woods of ct !!Eatsvenison give it a break your the a$$ hole here!
Eatsvenison, just keep posting. It makes you sound more ignorant everytime. Maybe you should change your handle to Backwoodsinbred!! Have Fun! Shawn
eatvenison
still don't want to answer the questions?
I've hunted with guys in Maine in The Forks, Rumford, and Biddeford. Some of them were my type of hunter, did things the right way, legal and ethical. But there were the few that shot across roads, shot in the dark and at "sounders" (heard a noise and shot in the direction of the noise without identifying the target).
What group do you belong to?
Hell I have hunted Maine. It kinda sucked . I spent a ton of money seen shit the hand full of times I have gone .but will say yes it's not easy as some areas in ct . I guess eat doesn't know you can't bait all of ct . But again not everyone knows what they are speaking of!!! I guess he should stay in his own forum as the Maine boys say to us flat landers .. those boys are just wicked smart ... .. hell I say hunt smarter not harder .
Eatsvenison, I have deployed 3 times and the first tour I was as a turret gunner in the infantry. I have stayed up to ten days at a time outside of the wire. In everything from 140F down to 20F I would have built the stand further into the woods but I only have 5 acers and if I want to be comfortable while doing something I love that’s on me. Go bring that stuff back up to the Maine forum guys like you are why I don’t post on here.
shitstainbob, what the kind of crowd do you hunt with? shooting across roads? shooting at sounds? you need to revaluate your friends and the people you associate with. what group do I belong to?..obviously not the same one as you. No one in my group has ever done such things or even been in the company of it, as you were, did you notify the gamewarden, or play along?
Irontail, most people think the hunting in maine sucks, because you actually have to hunt and read sign here and cover alot ground, miles and miles, many of todays hunters are not capable of that, they wright off good areas because its too hard or they don;t know any better. The more people that think Maine sucks the better it is for me! don't come here, it sucks! 200" 260lbs deer are just a rumor, don't wate your time it def sucks! Irontail is right!

Eatsvenison
Talk about an inbred nightmare......
Oh and by the way Eatsvenison Im still in and going on 12 years and do you see that shinny thing high on my chest with the blue musket? I didnt get that for sitting in a chair.
YOU GO TRAVISTROOP!!!!!! Thanks for serving!!
eatsvenison
when I said I hunted with guys I should have been a bit clearer. They were not in my group, but were at the local stores and check-in stations. And yes, I report all game violations and have consistently stated that on this site.
BTW - I've hunted Maine 5 times and took deer 3 out of the five, not perfect but not bad for being a non-resident. Maine is tough hunting, thick woods in some areas like the Forks, and a lot fewer deer than CT, but that's what I like.
Still didn't answer my questions? Man up and stop hiding behind your insults. I have to go change my underwear, so I'll look for your answer later.
Why go to Maine when I can shoot 170s in ct and I own property in the Adirondack park area That has 5 million Acers . Steve
Steve
you are right! Those were some nice deer you posted.
Steve
you are right! Those were some nice deer you posted.
I said it kinda sucked yes there are bug deer in Maine . I hunted up near the Canadian border seen more moose then deer I hunt around moose head lake my family owns land there . I'm not saying you can't take good deer around Maine . Bottom line is your on the ct forum bashing ct hunter .... do you see ct hunter on the maine forums bashing you or your hunters no . I don't believe you do it just go to show you certain people are just plain a$$ holes. You sound like a frigging anti hunter... you should just go back to Mai es forum's and bit higher that your neighboring hunters have heated hunting shacks and drag deer with 6 wheelers shoo deer on private property's ect . Do your self a favor and just leave it alone . Prolly the problem has no one else to complain too ...
My CT hunting friends, this, unfortunately, is a troll. Probably jealous of the regulations here in CT. Probably posting from his mom's basement just to get a rise. Do not pay him any attention as this is what he wants. Okay, we all understand, you are a tough guy, Maine hunter. We get it. Why be warm in a stand? Now go away. I do not apologize for any deer I have ever killed and do so ethically and within all regulations provided by the state. I have absolutely hunted over bait and hunted small parcels. I have also hunted on thousands of acres of state land in states I have never been and been successful.. I have hunted Montana,Saskatchewan and Maine for up to 10 days at a time in camp on DIY hunts. Please tell me I qualify to be a REAL hunter like you! Still love to hunt my own state!! Please stay on the Maine forum. I don't go on that forum and bash North Woods Law hunters and there have been quite a few losers on that show. I would, however, be happy to trade you some of my full freezer of venison for a few lobster!!! What a joke,
Primo
Sorry for the typos fingers to big for smartphone
Travistroop, he wouldn't know a Combat Infantryman Badge if it bit him on the ass.......
travistroop
thank you for your service. Anyone, man or woman, that goes into battle for this country is a hero to me. Hunting is child's play, even in Maine, compared to what you went through.
You can hunt in my backyard whenever you want. You won't see a damn thing except squirrels and chipmunks, but.......
just went to the Maine Forum, only 3 threads posted!!! No wonder eatsvenison is on the CT site, he's bored to death in Maine. Also explains his rants, going stir crazy.
From the Google machine. Gives a little insight into who we are dealing with -
Daniel Thrall, 34, Bethel, operating under the influence-one prior on Dec. 11, 2010, fined $700, sentenced to seven days in jail, license suspended three years, registration suspended.
Daniel Thrall, 34, Bethel, disturbing traps of another on Oct. 20, 2010, found guilty, unconditional discharge.
got a busy night a head of me googling, and instant check mating all of your names, those who posted their real ones. Get out the popcorn tomorrow. From what I've come across so far, many of you are not that innocent your self. so attoney Leydon, this is how you use your powers??to shame people on forums very professional. I may have been harsh but did not get down right personal.that's fucked. But I'm working on it, ya'll got some surpises coming thanks to attorney Leydon. I don't have his resources, but everyones junk is out there, and it's not all that pretty from what I've come across already, many are old as mine are, nor do we know the circumstances. But heck, if Brenden wants to get personal, I guess lets not leave anyone out.
NOw that the subject has changed from hunting to a very apersonal attack, I hope you all feel like men again. Your welcome,
I didn't read all of this assholes posts but I love hunting shithead corn baited spikes from other peoples backyard stands with my rage broadheads wearing my snuggies in front of my electric heater connected to an extension cord.
Anybody that doesn't like it is just a hater.
Hey all,
This Eatsvenison guy is lonely and craving huntin' talk. There are only three threads, with a total of eight postings, on the Maine forum.
Then again, about this time every year we get someone baiting us to badmouthing others or squabble between ourselves. Remember last fall, when we had that young dude hunting on his fathers property and telling us that we were so deprived to only have state land.
There's very little you can say to someone so full of themselves.
Check the books too, see how many 200" deer have been killed in Maine. I was gonna stop posting but this idiot is just too funny not too. Maybe I should start hunting Maine as I would like to meet this asshole face to face. Shawn
Nahh fellas, eatscrow was prolly jes trying to drum up business for his friendliest guide service in the down east. I'm sure he is a real class guy. LOL Antlers Anglers & Adventure Guide Service LLC 186 Mayville Road Bethel, ME 04217 (207) 824-0476 Daniel Thrall Principal
You guys are the greatest!!!! Once you posted this punks real name, he changed his tune real quick..... Now it's, you guys are getting personal, should've thought of that before you came onto our site insulting a great group of guys.
See boy, when you mess with men, it's best to come prepared!!
Great job "Bleydon"
I'd imagine someone who is a registered Maine guide would have a little better sense than to come onto an out of state board and bad mouth it's members...I'm sure that's good for business. Maybe he's trying to drum up business for the Rostay Inn, owned by mommy and daddy
We might be a little state but we stick together .You mess with one of us you mess with all of us .Some day they will learn .LOL
If he does his scary background investigation he may come across this. As an enlisted forward observer who went on to get his bars I was not going to sit back while he tried to trash a fellow soldier without sending a little suppressive fire his way. Hooah!
Thanks for your service guys.
Thanks to BBB and Steve also for serving in the Revolutionary War.
I still say that's a cool nest. Wish I had one like that.
BB do you hear this crap? My daughter just posted a photon Facebook of me from basic training 1970 most of these guys weren't born yet .LOL Or shot a deer . Old Steve
I'm getting used to the "OLD" jokes. At this stage in my life I like to get attention of any kind, good or bad. And yes, the Civil war was hell! Your referring to my marriage, right?
Shouldn't joke about that, I have a great wife. Best friends for 46 years and married for 40!
1970 I was wondering what sister Mary Ellen was wearing under that penguin costum..ahhhhh,when the light came through the window just right,man o man...I was 10..lol
I didn't mean to call you old, just really, really, reeeeeally experienced.
SWK, I built it for bow hunting. its about 16ft off the ground but is on a steep little hill. So ten yards down hill makes it about 35-40 ft up
TT,
you should enclose it, put a roof and windows on it.
Never saw a hot nun, so you're one up on me.
BBB,she was in her early 20's..even then and still now I wonder why..
Hey guys, Haven't posted in about a year, but I see things haven't changed much with the bickering on this forum. Hope you all are well and best of luck with your season. MikeP
How is everything going Mike ? Steve
Good to hear your still afloat Mike. Hope you can get on some decent hunting this season. Best of luck.
Good to see you up and adam Mike - Bear's about this year?
I read through this but the only thing that stood out was Travisstroop. Thank you man. Wholly cow, Websters has that turret pic next to the word badass. Stay safe, and again, thank you for what you do!
Will
PS - Travis if you check out the MA forum, one of the guys, MRW I believe has a pretty slick spot a couple hundred yards from the house. He didnt run a heater, but, he ran what amounts to a motion triggered video feed. We had a blast last year on the MA forum with all the cool deer that walked past his house. If he can pull that off, makes sense that you could get a heater out there...
