RE: Why would you ever leave the woods?
Better question might be why would you want to sit in a stand for 10 straight hours? Most folks I know will hunt from Dawn until late morning, then maybe go back from mid-afternoon until dark. And they do just as well as the few folks who practically live in their stands. I could see a person doing that if they truely enjoy being out there all that time, or they only have a day or two that they can hunt out of the season.
