RE: Combating tree stand boredom?
I never bring anything in. I have one week and thats it. I'm on constant alert. I almost every time, see a deer head pop out and have plenty of time to react.
I like it when they kind of materialize almost like they look transparrent. Kinda of like the freaky rasta alien in the first predator movie
I do remember once I had just arrived from the west coast (to New England) and was jet lagged real bad. I was in a little home made stand and kept closing my eyes and counting to 30 then opening them. After about the 5th time I opened them and there were about 6 does in front of me. I ended up drilling the biggest one.
