[QUOTE="NDbowman, post: 264472, member: 1525"] I like my enclosed blinds for when the wind is blowing hard and its very cold out. My buddy brought his daughter with rifle hunting last year and I doubt she'd have hunted all day had she not been in a heated blind out of the wind. I'm not sure I would have either as windy and cold as it was the first day. I really recommend a vented heater like the nuway stove as buddy heaters tend to fog windows up terribly. I still do like to sit on hills out in the open and glass for deer. I find sitting outside in the open easier to take off and make a sneak if the right opportunity presents itself rather than trying to sneak out of a blind where might make noise getting out. That being said the older I get the less I enjoy laying on a hill for hours at a time. Hills don't seem as soft as they used to be as it makes everything hurt after a while. Sitting in a blind is just a lot more comfortable. Plus it seems in a blind I'm eating all day where I tend not to snack when outside in the cold as I don't want to take my gloves off. [/QUOTE]
