Only during the rut will I do it all day and the rut peaks out here in NW Montana the last week in November, at that time winter has no mercy, but I have to be there then, you just gotta be in the woods at this time, good luck, Bobby

I usually bring a book and plenty of food. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, makes for a tough sit like bieng hungry or thirsty. Bring water, real food (jerky or a health bar), and a few snacks.

Hunting is MY time. I'm not on the clock. So if I get tired, I take a nap in the stand. If I miss something, I won't know it cause I'm asleep anyhow...so did I really miss anything??????

I usually carry a few arrows with Judo tips for them squirrely critters. I also carry a predator call (cottontail distress) and I hit it once in a while...you never know what may show up.

RE: How can you sit all day?
 

Every year I vow to sit all day, and every year I fail to do it. This year, for this very reason, I bought an Ol' Man climber so the comfort factor would be eliminated. I can actually fall asleep in this without fear of falling. I bring a small book (the Bible) to read and plan on having some scent free food/water with me, 'cause I'm gonna do it this year!

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.

The key is COMFORT. I bought a tree lounge
tree stand last year and have had no problem
hunting all day. I bring my video camera with
me also to catch the other wildlife during
the day.
Last December i was trying to hunt a big 10 pt.
but couldnt get up with him during daylight hours.
I set out a trail timer at his scrapes and it showed
he got there well after dark and off and on throughout
the night and morning. There were quite a few
mornings where he seemed to be lingering around
until about the time i went to my morning stand.
I was obviously spooking him. What I did next
may sound extreme but hes on my wall now.
I got in my tree lounge at 4:30 pm and stayed in it
until the following morning when the big guy showed
back up right at legal shooting time. I heard him
several times that night and early morning coming and
then leaving for and hour or so.
I even slept up there, (strapped in securily though).
I usually stay in my stand all day when hunting
in a bedding area and or during the rut.
Hunt all day or go home and do chores for the
wife? Think i'll hunt.

This is really a great question. Although I'm usually bored stiff, I can last the whole day in the woods. On the other hand, my 12 year old can't. I like the idea DeerT had about the Gameboy. I'll make sure this year my son takes his along. Maybe that will keep him in the woods a little while longer. Great Post.
