    Do you think a guy could get away with some sort of heater in his ground blind? The deer
    would be coming through about 20-25 yards away. I was thinking something like a colemam
    dome heater,little buddy heater or someting you know about. These heaters do make a soft
    hiss and do [especialy to deer] have a slight fuel scent, so do barn heaters, fuel and oil
    burners. Whats your thoughts?

    If its so cold you have to have it, look at it this way. If the deer winds the heater at your feet, he winds your scent just the same.

    I've used them in a ground blind and still saw deer movement.
