My view opening morning.....

[Big Muddy]

All the shit you guys do in a tree stand amazes me, especially since it isn't even cold where you hunt at. Why do you need heaters in tree stands unless you want to hunt in shorts and a t-shirt?

Haha....well, Depitty, I made my mind up as I got older, that if I was gonna deer hunt, then I was gonna stay as comfortable as possible....if I'm comfortable, I can stay in the woods longer....h3ll, I can live in most of my deer stands, if I was so inclined....believe me, I have paid my hunting dues....in my younger days, there's been many a morning that I have frozen my rebel azz off, balanced in the crotch of an oak tree.

Also, when teaching young kids to hunt, they will stay longer in the woods with you, if they are comfortable....they can learn to be cold and miserable, when they get older.
