I sit all day on stand.....no walking around etc....early days of Oct are tougher than the later dates....or even by Nov, daylight really seems to wind down by then, so its an hour or two less by then. During the rut I try to stay on stand all day, and even some other dsays, really the first and last few hrs of a day aren't bad, its the 4-6hrs of midday....does get boring at times, less something comes around, wish I were more successful on those days, seems to be a waste when nothing produces, but oh well, gotta try.

I think this year i may breakup more days, less theyre in the rut, also plan to maybe hunt the rut, pre rut more, soless in early Oct more in late oct, so maybe less days, but hunting harder/smarter?
