There is a nice 150 yd long, but narrow food plot in front( last year, I killed a 17 1/2" 9 pointer there. BTW, a VW Bug makes a very good hunting car. A German Hunter friend had one with the right front seat removed, and he could carry about as much as a mini pick up. Oh, I almost forgot, I used to use gas heaters, but found either a sleeping bag, with arms or wool blanket( depending on temp.) much easier in the long run.

We use Coleman catalytic heaters. They are silent and work well. We bought several years ago at gun shows for very little. Both blinds are quite tight and heat up easily.

This buck was a 19" inside spread ten point.
