I got a lot of deer bedding in a thick patch of woods next to my neighbors house. Last year a friend of mine sat my blind and saw 40+ deer per day. He was after a big eight and only saw does and small bucks. This is the one that I’m after this year.....still have black powder season in January.
Deer came in a bit late & from different directions. 5 altogether. Tomorrow's another day & Mr Buddy is coming along.
Three antlerless deer popped up out of the CRP, headed towards me somewhat & one coyote at the creek bottom this evening.
All seen within the last 30 minutes & all just barely out of bow range.
I'll be back at it again tomorrow looking for almost any beast with antlers at this point.
Good night 'TOO'ville!

Just curious. How much odor comes from using a Buddy heater? Is it enough to tip off a deer before they are in archery range?
I was concerned too since this is the 1st time using during hunting. I've got more deer walking right by the window. 5. None have busted. Two mature does & three fawns.

With the ground so crunchy , I was finally able to hear them before seeing them walk up on me.
Dick, I’ve never heard of anyone having any issues with running a buddy heater and getting winded....

Two years ago I shot my buck 20 yards away with a buddy heater running. It was like -10 so the roof was steaming and ice was melting off the top then refreezing.... several deer came by and not one seemed bothered by the heater running. Have had other deer get close too and not act skittish but that hunt stands out and I’d never be afraid to use a heater, atleast the portable buddy heater. Shot my 2014 buck with the heater running too come to think of it.
