Oh MAN!!! My jewels shrunk up just looking at that picture. You don't need a kromer (never heard of that before), what you need is a box stand and propane heater.

To keep the rain and the snow off you and therefore stay dry the best $20 you will EVER spend is to buy one of these:

Well made and easy to set up.

One more from my stand. I dont know if you can seee it or not, but in the upper left part of this pic there is a small hill with an opening, this is where my doe was standing when I shot her, it is about 50 yards form the stand. Oops, my bad wrong pic, this is facing the other direction iin my stand.

Congrats on the first ML deer. Cool pics, but where is the one of the deer?

I tell ya what, those days when everything is covered in a fresh layer of snow is fun to hunt-but I always feel like I'm deaf. It's weird looking at deer or turkeys and not hearing them make any noise walking...

I am ashamed to say, that I never did get a pic of the deer. She went right in the back of the truck, and to the meat locker. It was pitch black out when I was gutting her, so no real good chance for pics. It wasnt really all that cold out, I would say mid 20's or so. The only bad part, was that I forgot to bring the little hand warmers with. I usually put one big one in each front pocket of my pants, and then some in my coat pockets for my hands. My hands were so cold, that it was really hard to reload, and get that little primer with numb fingers.[&:]

I remember being on a deer stand when I was a teenager and my hands were so cold they wouldn't really move. I then realized, if a deer came by, I'm pretty sure I can't get the hammer back (Marlin 336) anywayso why am I out here? So I packed it up and went home. That's not fun.
