I think it would. It's a great coat. It doesn't have the type of material on the outside that makes the noises when you move.

After using this jacket for a year I find it to be bulky, cumbersome, not really that warm although it looks warm and most dissapointing of all it absorbs water because the fabric is poorly treated with water repellent. Also, amazon users constantly ask my opinion via amazon which makes my head explode. It's Christmas time-- leave me alone!

I would think it would work well. The material is similar to a wet suit or neoprene waders.

I am a turkey hunter but not a big game hunter, I use this for Duck and Goose hunting and it is awesome. For waterfowl it is a "Home-run", for shooting a bow or rifle for turkey or big game......probably not the right blind. You can unzip the side windows and the front part slides down and when we get up to shoot geese, we just throw the front down and start shooting. Not sure that would work for a turkey or deer, at least the ones in Colorado or Nebraska it probably would not work.

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

I am primarily a bow hunter and very concerned about any game spooking noises. The low hum of the fan doesn't seem to be noticed by deer. I have had mature does within 20 yards of me & they don't seem to notice it. I have also used it in a box blind (venting out a window) and had 2 doe, a yearling and a buck approach from downwind of me and feed for 20 - 30 minutes without knowing I was there. The buck was too small to shoot. The noise isn't enough to spook game and it really doesn't seem to interfere with one's ability to hear game approaching especially when used out of box blind. Inside one it is noticeable and may be a draw back if relying on hearing a deer approach. I am primarily a bow hunter and very concerned about any game spooking noises.

Absolutely! We used ours at home & up at our ranch (while our pup was small). I would suggest having a towel to drape over top as it it netting & sun beating down on top might get pretty warm. Have fun!

In my younger days I managed to enjoy trap shooting and enjoy hunting and fishing. So, having said that, I don't believe these would get in your way while shooting. Shot guns/rifles would have the butt below your ear and the stock just below your cheek. As an aside, they are very comfortable to wear, which is a 'must' if you'll wear them any length of time. My purpose is to use it in my hobby room where noise is a distinct problem from shop vacs, air compressors, etc. These work great for me.

That would probably be too warm. We sleep in cooler temps in our house (around 66F). The cotton blanket is thinner and would be better at those temps. I put my son in the cotton blanket during naps and the fleece at night.

We used it last summer when we went camping in the NC mountains. Night time temps got down into the upper 50's and the kept us plenty warm. The sleeping bag is not overly thick and should work great for you.

Wm, I would not recommend this for deer hunting. You can however, take smaller game with it.Best, Bruce

This one fits very comfortably into a front pocket and has a solid feeling clip. The tanto blade shape and serrations will cut nicely into animal flesh, though you're not going to field dress and entire deer with it, it would make a good overall utility knife. The Black blade and handle would minimize reflections to animals during the daytime so overall I would say yes, this would be a fine choice for a hunter. Though if you really wanted to impress him with a gigantic fixed-blade knife instead, I would consider the Schrade SCHF1 for about the same money!

It makes a mechanical fan noise which I think would negatively impact your hunting success. It's not quiet.

I think it would be great. They make one similar that has a warm lining it it though. Maybe you can just buy the lining.

I mainly bought it for hog, but have not had the opportunity to go deer hunting yet. Although, I plan on going soon (this year)! As far as it being good for deer hunting, I read 100s of reviews before settling on this one and saw many cases where people had taken down decent size deer with it. I would think you need to be decent at tracking as I doubt you will drop it where it stands, but once you get it sighted in and can make a fairly accurate kill shot, it shouldn't be hard to find. Also, I did purchase some broadheads to go with it as well. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions and I will answer them if I can. ;)By the way, I assembled it in under 10 minutes. Very Easy!

It would work great for the bow hunter. It is small and light weight so it doesn't take up much room in the hunting bag and you barily fell it around the neck.

I think so. Like I said, I use mine mostly when hunting. When I hunt in the mornings I try to get to my spot an hour before first-light, which usually means a good hour of hiking through the woods in the dark. I have no complaints about it whatsoever.
