Check your CO monitors-

[tomgobbler]

Just a reminder for all the late hunters - check those monitors - when running your heaters in this cold ! 

I needed an antelope cape for a replacement from one of my clients that ruined his this year - and I’ve got a good friend in Wyoming , that has a good friend that’s a taxidermist there , so I reached out to him this week to have him ask the guy if he had some extras - 

and he Informed me of the very sad & tragic news that his buddy and another friend had went on a hunt a few weeks ago and went to bed that night and neither one ever  woke up ….  
 

have fun on your hunts , but most importantly make it back to your families ! 

Good luck to everyone !

Great reminder. Get the best sleeping bag you can get and use heater sparingly.

Were they in a tent?

I can’t sleep with a trailer heater running. The noise keeps me up.  I heat it with my heater buddy, shut off and get in the bag. In the morning when getting up I’ll turn the trailer heater on.

Good catch. CO not CO2.

Good advice.

Happens every year.  Whether in the hunting community, rodeo community, desert racing, you name it.

Sorry for the loss! I won't run the heater in the trailer  all night  . It's a good  way to drain a battery  in a hurry  among other things . I run a open sleeping bag under  the bed sheets and a few extra blankets  in the cold . It's definitely  a good  reminder  to check the monitors  and replace  them as needed  . If your  like me we tend to bounce the trailer  down  some ruff chit getting  in spots to hunt . The dust is a big deal for your smoke detectors  also and replace  the battery  once a year Stay safe !
