Before I'd just hunt maybe a day or two in a row, or maybe just Sat. and Sun. morning....this year I hunted 4-5 whole days in a rowseveral times.

For instance, my brother came up from New Mexicoto hunt with me and we hunted hard for 6 days straight,and onthe firstevening sit I seen 15 deer, but nothing I wanted to shoot. Then the next 2 days I only seen 1 deer combined, then themorning of day 4 I shot my biggest deer to date a 132" 10 pt. So I know the added time on stand boosted my chances at even seeing that deer.
