    Just got my order delivered by Amazon! I'd be lost without these GRABBER hand warmers, especially early mornings when it's coldest. I've tried other warmers, but these work the best. Having Raynauds syndrome/white finger syndrome, it can become miserable. These warmers really work well and last the entire day, which I rely on doing all day sits that I'll start doing tomorrow.

    Especially knowing one of my target 8pts is running the area, all day sits are a must. He hit his scrape again yesterday morning, and I had him at about 20 yrds watching a doe last evening, but saplings were in the way of a clean shot. He was oblivious to my presence, which is big! Hoping to get another chance at him tomorrow. I think the does in my area are just now getting ready to be bred.

    Yes! In the last three days I've hunted, all the action started around 4:30pm until dark. Like clockwork.

    Its good to be getting out. Didn't think I would be able to this year. But ground blinds, my UTV and a sweet woman to help me out has me at least in the ball game.

    No, but I'll look into them. Any particular brand you use?

    Not really but you want one's with a very large capacity, battery-wise. Amazon has tons of them at all different prices

    Glad you mentioned this. Think I bought these at your suggestion. Was someone on here anyway. Still fully charged after a year and heated up quick.

    Maybe, cause I have a couple of that brand. And yes, they will stay charged if not used

    Id put those right on my kidneys. Stay warm as heck. Major rain and cold came in today. Hoping when it stabilizes tomorrow the deer will move hard.

    Hey guys. Thanks for the helpful advice last night. I ended up making the call to leave it till morning and was very glad I did. He ended up about 100 yards away from where I last saw him. He was stiff but not completely and was definitely still warm. When I field dressed him I found holes in both lungs and liver as well. I’m stumped as to how he lasted that long. At any rate I’d encourage anyone out there that waiting a little longer than you think you should will rarely be regretted. Definitely changed the way I’ll be approaching a track job from here on out. Good luck to you all. It’s getting good out there.

    That's great! And from the looks of him, he was well worth the wait. Congrats on a great buck!
