Question:
I am currently using a small propane heater in my box blind. Does anyone
think the emmisions / fumes effect my hunt? Would charcoal, wood, or another
fuel be a better choice?
Answer:
Don't know about the odor but a sunflower heater I was using in a box
blind affected my hunt once by setting fire to the sleeve of my jacket, with
my left arm in it. Turn off the heater, pat out the flames, take the
shot...everything turned out fine. Charcoal or wood would seem to carry a
higher risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. In my experience the big bucks
and older smarter does don't show their snouts around fixed blinds, while
the younger bucks and does skip all sorts of clues...and are the ones who
usually end up in the freezer.
