I was sitting in the stand this morning and at one point I was thinking about how much I love being out there to watch the deer, turkey, squirrels etc... and how beautiful of a morning it was. Most times I like to play a game while in the stand. It goes like this. For every deer I spot before it comes into the opening, I get a point. For every time I don' t see the deer before it pops out, the deer get a point. It may be a silly game but it really helps me get tuned in, more aware of my surroundings and helps me spot deer sooner. It may sound like a silly game to some but trust me, it certainly will sharpen the skill of spotting deer earlier. -- CDH
