RE: Hunting from a Blind.....
If you are worried that deer are hearing your zipper after "setteling in", then maybe you should look around more before getting in the stand. (lol)
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually, I would like to know what you tree stand guys do for several hours/days to pass the time? Seems like an excruciatingly boring way to hunt. But I'd like to try it sometime over a bear bait or elk wallow. Most I can sit is maybe 1.5 to 2 hours before I got to get up and "go see" what's over there. Also want to use a ground blind next year for archery antelope.
