RE: Passing time on stand...
I spend immense amounts of time all year long scouting and researching and tuning my equipment....I go hunting for a purpose. The ultimate goal of my outing is to kill a whitetail deer. Reading a book or playing a video game or doing crossword puzzles is not hunting and has no place in the deer woods. I'm there to hunt, not read or write or play games. I pay attention to the woods and all the critters in them....I learn about my quarry.....I become a better hunter. I can work on my reading comprehension or vocabulary somewhere else at a time that's more appropriate. We live in such a fast paced world and half you guys want to multitask when you're trying to relax....rediculous if you ask me![:@]
