Now this is a postI can relate to. I've been sitting in a stand all day for years and have developed a system as follows: Please understand first that sitting for 12 to 14 hours in one spot and keeping your movement to an absolute minimum requires physical and mental conditioning. so let's begin:
1. Stand MUST be comfortable! So, make it comfortable...
2. Bring lunch ( no meat, no garlic- peanut butter and jelly recommended) and a book orhandheld video game...
3.Do not move until about 11:00 a.m. then stand and pee. Afterwards, play a game or read or sleep....
4. About 1:00 p.m. do lunch and drink some water...
5. About 2:00 p.m. stand up and pee over the downwind side of your stand and then remain standing...
6. Stand for 15 minutes in each position representing north, south, east and west which should take you to approx. 3:00 p.m.....
7. Read or play your game or sleepuntil 3:30- 4:00 p.m. at the latest....
8. Put everything away and hunt like a Leopard until dark...
The key to all day success is taking care of your body and your mind so your fresh when the moment of opportunity comes!!!!
Good stuff Geronimo,except the reading and game playing part. Why sit All DAY only to jeopardizeyour chance at a big buck because you were reading or playing games when you should have been watching for your chance at your dream buck? It is supposed to be hunting isn't it?To each his own. JMHO
