RE: All day sits...how do you do it?
 

I think this year i may breakup more days, less theyre in the rut, also plan to maybe hunt the rut, pre rut more, soless in early Oct more in late oct, so maybe less days, but hunting harder/smarter?
Along these lines: I think that I get burnt out early and then by the time that the rut comes around it gets to be harder to stay out. I am planning on flipping that this year, by huntin smarter early and harder late. We shall see.

I don't have anyone to text who would want to hear about me sitting in a stand. I did text Ben the other day to tell him about my gobbler, but that was in my fiances apartment, not in the woods. I may give it another try this season who knows.

txt? heck with that, I surf the net on my phone.. check the weather, read an article, mutli tasking is second nature for us teachers.. ;)I dont do it if I am set up in a tight spot where deer could suprise me, like in a ground blind, but if I am up in a stand and can see for a good 50-60 yards.. np, during prime movement time.. its put away .. I am referring to those all day sits when a guy can get a little bored.

That it is, that it is. I don't want to pay for internet access on my phone, though, lol.

No problem, Ben, I hope I get one telling me you downed a monster...or even that you regret eating the baconater.

Now this is a postI can relate to. I've been sitting in a stand all day for years and have developed a system as follows: Please understand first that sitting for 12 to 14 hours in one spot and keeping your movement to an absolute minimum requires physical and mental conditioning. so let's begin:
1. Stand MUST be comfortable! So, make it comfortable...
2. Bring lunch ( no meat, no garlic- peanut butter and jelly recommended) and a book orhandheld video game...
3.Do not move until about 11:00 a.m. then stand and pee. Afterwards, play a game or read or sleep....
4. About 1:00 p.m. do lunch and drink some water...
5. About 2:00 p.m. stand up and pee over the downwind side of your stand and then remain standing...
6. Stand for 15 minutes in each position representing north, south, east and west which should take you to approx. 3:00 p.m.....
7. Read or play your game or sleepuntil 3:30- 4:00 p.m. at the latest....
8. Put everything away and hunt like a Leopard until dark...
The key to all day success is taking care of your body and your mind so your fresh when the moment of opportunity comes!!!!

Good stuff Geronimo,except the reading and game playing part. Why sit All DAY only to jeopardizeyour chance at a big buck because you were reading or playing games when you should have been watching for your chance at your dream buck? It is supposed to be hunting isn't it?To each his own. JMHO;)

Good point, but if you don't do it and take care of yourself (mentally) you'll not be able to endure the many hours!
