I must admit, this is something Ido more often than I should. I guess there's a feeling of comfort being in an area that I know very well and has produced in years past.
I can become very stubborn when it comes to leaving a specific stand or specific area. Even after I have hunted it for days in a row.
A friend suggested I use the 3-sit rule, where 1 sit = 1/2 day.
After 3 sits, move on to another location. I try to practice this and sometimes I move on and sometimes I don't!
Does anybody else overhunt a particular stand?
