How often, all day sits in a hangon stand
 

Just curious how often can you stay in ahang-on all day and how you deal with fatigue, sitting, stretching, standing, ect. ?

Anytime I'm hunting whitetails in November I'm in the stand all day.

If I need to stand, I stand.

If I need to stretch, I do it.

I'm sitting the majority of the day, but I stand during the "golden hours." Interestingly enough, I've never taken a standing shot.

I sit all day quite often. I buy big comfortable stands with large platforms. I will stand for a while sit for a while, switch things up. I make sure my clothing is comfortable and I usually have a Good Book to read or something else to chase away boredom.

Iam turning a new leaf this season. I will try harder to sit all day during the rut. I have a few times but it is tough. ADHD or something. I should really try still hunting more.

Is anyone good at still hunting? If you are how do you do it.

If its november and sometimes late october if things are right I'm out all da, weather permitting. Although ive seen quite a few deer during mid day Ive never taken one after 900am or before 400pm go figure. It will happen soon enough.

If it's "prime time" then you can bet I'll be in my tree all day long waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime monster to cruise through!

I usualy dont stick it out all day, Ill sit from before sunrise until noon run and grab some lunch for about an hour and head back out to an afternoon stand until dark.

I voted one day per season simply because I only have one hang-on stand (the rest are ladders and climbers). As Wash said, when it hits November...I'm sitting. Multiple times I have questions 'what am I doing' when it is slow and I'm still sitting at 12:30 in the afternoon. Then my questions is quickly answered when I see a buck on the prowl at 1:00 when normally I would be at home napping for an evening hunt.

I never sit all day. Even if I have all day to hunt, I will break for lunch whenever that may be. Sometimes it is 10:00 AM or 1:00 PM. It all depends on what's going on. Even if it is the rut, part of my hunting experience is getting out of the tree and coming up with a game plan for that evening whilst me and the boys eat and relax for a bit.

That is part of the fun for me. I guess if I hunted alone frequently I would be more committed to sitting all day.

i have hunted a spot in the mornin then went back to it that evnin.. but cannot stay all day.. i just CANT do it.. how do yall pee? in bottles? off your stand?

RE: How often, all day sits in a hangon stand
 

I use climbers only. During the rut I sit from dark to dark for a week straight if that's what it takes. I saw (rattled)the biggest buck of my life, a thick 10pt athigh noon last year. I think sitting all day during the rut is a must if you're serious about killing a big buck, reguardless of conditions.

All day, every day.

Not a problem. If I need to move, I move. If I need to eat, I eat. Sometimes I nap. lol

RE: How often, all day sits in a hangon stand
 

I have a hard time sitting all day because I feel like I could be missing somthing if I just sit there so I usually end up still hunting after about 4-5 hours of waiting. I know that I would probably be sick If I only knew what came walking by but I wasnt there, and I would rather not know.
