i do it almost everyday that i hunt, no bs, lol.......makes for a long day...i'll get down once, maybe twice to pee, other than that i'm sitting there....i do get down occassionally to stalk around, it breaks up the day, so when i get back from my stalking, i have the afternoon hunt....but not always, i dont like leaving scent all around my stand...the way i look at it is,i dont walk the distances that i do just to walk back out a couple of hours later...
