Bow, 4 arrows, knife, rope, book or hand-held electronic poker game.

A lot of times I will not take the book or game if I'm just hunting for a couple hours. It does help pass the time...and takes a minimal amount of hand movement.

I'll play the same poker game throughout the entire bow season and see how many points I can amass. BTW...it makes no noise and I only have to move 1 finger to play it.

I've noticed one thing about the electronic game...I sit perfectly still for long periods of time while playing it...pausing to look around from time to time.

A buddy turned me onto this a few years ago...
