How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
What do you do that helps you to bear the long hours out in the deer woods?

RE: How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
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!

After doing what most do, think about etc....I take a nap on stand after eatin' lunch.[8D]

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.

I take along a little handheld poker game. Not only does it help pass the time, but all that practice helps me win some gas money back at camp.:D:D:D

RE: How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
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.

Glad to know I am not the only one who texts all my hunting buddies while we are up in the stand.

Picture deer coming in on different trails, watch squirrels running around, and take naps.

Yep, rifle hunting is so hard....drive to your hunting spot. Drinking nice warm cup of coffee, listening to the radio. Open fence gate, drive to top of hill. Shoot buck, gut and check in....season over at 7:00am opening day.

I will buy a good book to take to the stand and read a paragraph here and there. Last year it was Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Have not decided on my book for this year. I am thinking maybe Tom Clancy's Slinter Cell, or maybe Ghost Recon.

BOWS on the Little Delta, by Glenn St. Charles!!!! AWESOME read

I read alot. I'm reading "Collapse" by Jared Diamond at the moment.

I also text my buddies to see if they are having any luck, also.

I always take a hand held game like battle ship or black jack, But I always end doing what I'm there for, looking for deer

i usually read or just look around

RE: How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
I like to read a book when i am sitting all day. On short sits i have no problem staying focused. I have seen the Realtree guys using the hand held games and i think i might give that a try this year, since so many are trying it.

I must admit, for the first time this year...when whitetail hunting from a stand..not elk....I have been using my new cellphoneto cruise the internet..read articles, check the wind hour by hour..etc..

RE: How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
I like to sniff my farts. But when doing this you must use a safety harness because some will make you fall out ofyour stand.

solobowhunter 09-25-2007 04:29 PM

RE: How do you pass the time in the stand?
 
No, Im just joking. What I usually do is hunt hard and what that means is always stay alert with high confidence. It only takes a few seconds for a monster buck to slip by you undetected so I am always scanning the surroundings hoping and waiting. It just seems like you see more when your not preoccupied with other things.:eek:
