Default RE: All Day Hunts?

I normally do not stay on stand all day. Ill stay till around 10, go eat, and go back around 3 or 4. I know im missing some of the best time to be in the woods, but i cant take it. Id much rather enjoy it than turn it into work. However, if there is a big buck in the area or the weather is just perfect and im seein deer everywhere, i will stay all day.

I do it quite often during the Rut. Dawn to dusk in the same tree, only move if the wind changes. I started doing it about 7-10 years ago after I got to my stand at 12:30 when a huge buck comes by with a doe while I'm half way through my climb to the stand.
Last year was the first time that I've ever shot anything on an all-dayer. A nice nine pointer come by just after 2pm,(eight hours I was in the tree) and he was the only deer I'd seen all day.
One other time I'd sat like six all-dayers in a row (not the same tree all six days) when at 3:30 I got a shot and missed a huge buck. Really made me mad.
Its not unusual to see a different buck come by every couple hours when the rut is heating up.

Almost everytime I hunt whether it be early season, during the rut, or the late season I sit all day. It took lots of practice for me to sit all day so I try to make a habbit of it. Besides If you sit in the morning but go home around 10, how do you shoot a deer from your couch?
