all these are good ideas...i wasnt sure if we were talkin bow huntin or rifle...but fer bow, shewtry and stay alert and dont move is hard, but its what ya gotta do....in a boxblind(rifle season fer me) i have an old bathroom wall heater on a 5 gal propane tank, a coleman gas stove, fryin pan, 2 gal water jug with side outlet, paper towels and tp, silverware,coffee and perk coffee pot, and a cooler with bacon eggs ,milk bread,, strawberry jelly, sugar ,ice tea ,lunch meat, cheese, you name it, i even have a chair with a buket and trash bag fer you kno what...i live in there fer 3 days at a time(comin out to go sleep and eat dinner at nite) thats the only way i have seen numerous deer where i live...when i would come out at 11am and back in at 3-4pm i hardly saw anything...the last 2 years i have been seein 500% more deer than ever befor put together ...o yeah and a nice office chair that dont squeak .. i even lay my sleepin ba down and take a nap on the floor if i dont fall asleep in my chair..usually after openin my eyes from a nap there are deer standin there, so all those readin books and playin on ur phone in the window of your blind are a no go, they are lookin fer that movement..IMO
