I was being lazy today because of the weather so I parked my truck next to my blind.

Hell on really cold days near Laredo, our truck was the best mobile blind to hunt from. Deer didn't appear to mind one bit.

I actually hunted from the truck this morning. Nice and warm. I took a nice nap.

Careful, you will make hunting too easy and comfortable, it will get boring grin

I have used a tractor to take a deer or two over the years blush

You guys are giving me some great ideas for taking my 5 year old daughter. She says that she's not going hunting because she's afraid of the Pigs, coyotes, and snakes. Haha.

You may have been the dinner bell...visually.

Farm deer get used to all kinds of machinery and racket. I came up to 4 deer at one of my feeders on my ATV with my young son on board about six years ago. It was about three weeks before season...I didn't stop the engine...they just looked at us and kept eating corn. We sat there for a solid five minutes until it got too dark to see anything...then we left...the deer were still there in the headlight.

My father-in-law had a Christmas day deer hunt tradition. He would get up Christmas morning, make a pot of coffee, putter around the kitchen, have a leisurely breakfast, and mid-morning, he would warm up the feed truck, load his gun,his flask and head to the pasture. He would drive around the ranch, nipping on the flask until he saw a deer. Bam, take another drink, load up the deer, take another drink and head back to the house. Maybe take another drink before he got home. grin That was his one hunt for the year and he seldom came up empty handed.
