The key is COMFORT. I bought a tree lounge
tree stand last year and have had no problem
hunting all day. I bring my video camera with
me also to catch the other wildlife during
the day.
Last December i was trying to hunt a big 10 pt.
but couldnt get up with him during daylight hours.
I set out a trail timer at his scrapes and it showed
he got there well after dark and off and on throughout
the night and morning. There were quite a few
mornings where he seemed to be lingering around
until about the time i went to my morning stand.
I was obviously spooking him. What I did next
may sound extreme but hes on my wall now.
I got in my tree lounge at 4:30 pm and stayed in it
until the following morning when the big guy showed
back up right at legal shooting time. I heard him
several times that night and early morning coming and
then leaving for and hour or so.
I even slept up there, (strapped in securily though).
I usually stay in my stand all day when hunting
in a bedding area and or during the rut.
Hunt all day or go home and do chores for the
wife? Think i'll hunt.
