Reading on Stand
Your opinions?
I like to read to pass the time on slow days. A small novel that can be tucked into a side pocket on my pants if something comes through. Nothing big and bulky.
Even Michael Waddell plays an electronicYahtzee game with the sound turned off.

RE: Reading on Stand
When I shot my first deer ten years ago, I was reading the United Methodist Book of Worship and preparing for a funeral that I had to do in a few hours. I was a young pastor and hunter. Since that time I have enjoyed the hunt too much to read on stand, even though I have wondered about doing it. I might try it this year. I usually don't get bored while hunting. Rather, I enjoy the stillness. So, maybe I won't start reading on stand this year either!

RE: Reading on Stand
Was reading in stand this past season and a nice buck got by me before I knew it. Put the book away in disgust at myself anda bigger buck came down the same trail a minute or two later. He's down in the freezer now.

How can one be alert forpossible activity while reading? I do my reading at home.

Your sense of hearing seems to highten while reading, at least mine does. I generally hear the deer coming in before I see them whether I'm reading or not.
