I spent a good 8 1/2 hours in my stand last Sat. I have an el-cheapo ladder stand, and I have to say I didn't exactly feel like I was in a Lazy Boy. I did knock out a good portion of a novel that I'm reading. Also, it's a great time to just think life over. I can really hear God's voice when there's nothing else to distract me. It's good time to make decsisions about life, and always stick some white tails.
