I think about past hunts. Most of the times I hunt and think over every scenario what if a deer comes from this trail or that trail, how will I grab my, bow when to shoot...etc! I always spend a little time talking to my Pops! God Bless him!

I usually take books to read. I prefer the Bible.
This year I might take a small Sudoku book. It keeps my mind going while keeping me awake.
Speaking of awake, I sleep alot on stand too. Some of the best naps I've ever had have been ina tree stand, in about 30 pounds of clothes, right after the sun comes up. Good stuff.

Watch for deer. A good pair of binoculars added hours to my stand time. I enjoy the small game: small birds, turkey, hawks, squirrels, bobcat, raccoon, even donkey and cows. But mostly, I just watch/listen for deer.

Wow, you bow hunters have it so hard... Game boy, playing cards, reading the bible, sleeping, balancing the check book, homework, posting in the internet, cell phone texting, online poker and a nap after lunch!
And you are the same people who aren't challenged when hunting with a firearm from the ground. You really have no clue, sorry.
