I sit all day in my stand and I love it! It's really not that hard for me to do. I just make sure that I have enough food, water, and equipment packed.

What Froman said is true. The longer you stay in your stand, the better your chances are of seeing deer. Last year was my first year hunting, and I saw more deer than some of the more seasoned members of camp who decided to come out for a few hours.

Even though it's not difficult for me, I'd still have to say that it's not the easiest thing to do. Being mentally ready is just as important as being physically ready. You have stay on your toes in case a deer decides to pop up in your area. And I really don't think being a Gen-X'er has anything to do with it. I'm 26 and I can't think of a reason why someone wouldn't want to sit all day. Being out there definitely recharges my batteries.

So to answer your question, do I think all day hunts are worth it? Most definitely! More chances at seeing deer and piece of mind. It doesn't get any easier than that.

Thanks,
Mike
