Default RE: Another still hunting question

You have been given some good advice on this subject but I do respectively disagree with one point.

Still hunting is NOT the most mentally exhausting form of hunting.
While still hunting, the scenery is constantly changing always given the hunter a certain degree of optomism.
Plus most still hunters rarely get cold beause they are constantly (to a degree) on the move.

Try sitting in a treestand 20 feet above the ground when the temps are in the teens and the windchill is below zero.Trying to stay focused and constantly alert can be tough. Deer can walk by and neither the deer or the hunter is aware of the other.

Some may say conditions like that are not days to be in a treestand, but I do. The success rate over the years does not lie.
