RE: Things to do in the Stand
Look for deer. Visualize what you will do when the moment comes. Watch the dozens of other critters you see while hunting. I would never look for something to do to pass time on stand. Somedays may be slow, but just thank the creator you are sitting there instead of somewhere else.

I do quite a bit of reading. I used to take an electric yatzee game. Got my high score in a Tennessee Tree Stand. Here lately I just try to soak up the whole environment. Study trees and birds and bugs and stuff like that.

I'm on the same page as Ryan,I am so pleased that I have an extended period of time that is truly mine I don't need any thing else.
All day sits can be brutal! If I had to have something to pass the time (although I have never done this) I would bring a small paper back book that I could quietly close and stuff in an out of the way pocket quickly.

I just look around. I never bring anything for entertainment. Hunting is my entertainment.
Yes, the mind wanders..Usually to reflect on how good things are, the Wife, the Kids, just life in General.

I'm so happy to be away by myself for a while, I just relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the scenery...I've even been known to take a little nap..
