Prob the glow from it more then the smell
Maybe but probably not. We did everything we could to keep any light from reflecting against the back wall where looking it it could be easily seen. The glow was our first thought too.

Propane from the heater puts off a smell. We tried that last year and found it was a set back.
Heated Milwaukee jacket is not off the list; but this new cold weather gear is working great so far.
This last hunt, I had just finished dragging that doe out from the brush onto the road and I looked up & over while catching my breath and there was her two friends about 100 yards away eating corn off the road Had I not been wheezing so hard after dragging that does fat ass out of the brush, I might have been able to take an offhand shot and drop another one.Maybe but probably not.

Had a talk with my buddy last night in the deer stand about this. The does that have been coming to the feeder a few years now do not care if we are in the stand; to the point I dropped a water bottle to a loud thud. They looked up at us and went back to eating. The new does trotted away a minute before coming back.
It is all in exposure; if you / your scent is out there all the time (ie @Taco Loco doing farm work and watering) they are not concerned because it is normal. But if you are only in the area once a month/ several months than you are an intruder to be worried about.
Much like that strange noise in the vehicle; if it is there every day and nothing goes wrong we do not worry about it. The new strange noises where a wheel falls off makes us worry.
Never know what you’ll find out here in the wild, wild west.WTF? Your stand is in Jurassic Park?
Sandhill crane? I think there is a season/tag? I believe they are supposed to be good to eat.Guess I’m gonna have to start taking a shotgun to the stand with me next year.

Chicken of the sky apparently. I really want to try one.Sandhill crane? I think there is a season/tag? I believe they are supposed to be good to eat.
Ribeye of the sky is what I heard them compared too. Yeah I'd be interested to try it too.Chicken of the sky apparently. I really want to try one.
My bad, yeah that's the phrase.Ribeye of the sky is what I heard them compared too. Yeah I'd be interested to try it too.

According to someone else online "When we first cooked it it looked so dark and gamey but when I tried it no bad taste. I’ve never had a bird taste like that. It’s so similar we gave it to my cousin and she really thought it was steak ."
@Taco Loco you ever had sandhill crane?
