Man I love my morning coffee before a hunt but I also find it rips through my intestines on the stand and forces me to come down for a break. Hey...I piss in a plastic jar, but some things I won't do in a stand.I will go from 1 hour before sunlight to 20 minutes after in the stand. I am totally committed once I get to the woods. As tired as I get I also know I only get maybe 12 days in the woods each year so I make them count.

To keep from falling asleep I'll bring a book and my phone that has a few games on it. This keeps me a little focused during that noon to 3:30 slow period.
