RE: What to do in stand?
 

I find myself looking for deer most of the time while on stand.;) I often see beautiful things that I wouldn't see if preoccupied by books/games ect. Here's an example from yesterday.

I really enjoy being in the outdoors, and listening to all the sounds that come with it. Having said that, it's certainly possible to listen to music or watch a movie on an ipod without spooking deer. Just use headphones, and keep an eye out! I'm always scanning my surroundings, andI would say 9 out of 10 times, I see the deer before I hear them.

Like alot of guys, I like taking in the surrondings and enjoying the hunt.

But I'll be honest, some afternoon hunts can get boring. Especially if it is warm and mid-day time. I text my friends and play a couple games on my phone at times. But on a windy day, when I can't hear that well anyways, I'll listen to music. I don't do it often, but sometimes I like to have some tunes. I have had deer come by and pass in front of me without noticing I have headphones in:D[&:]. Whether that is a good thing or not, who knows.

Have no fear BT360....jam out[8D]

Agreed. I have a Scentlok facemask and hat combo that I love and is great for early and late season because it is fairly warm....I would recommend it! I won't even wear a hood or stocking cap unless it is absolutely brutal out. I love to be able to hear the deer before they get to close!

Well I watch for deer when I'm hunting, listen to and watch my surroundings, and Think about life. I have never listened to music or watched a movie on an Ipod...God why not just stay home on the couch?

I have read the odd hunting article on a long or all day sit, but that's about it.

Texting, listening to music and making posts on HNI from your treestand? What has this hunting world gone to? I thought the reason most of us hunted was to get away from this stuff and enjoy nature and relax. Guess I might as well take my lap top and do some TPMreports! Boy, oh boy, I find this sad![:@]

Your kiddin right????? The sound of nature is music to my ears, that and silence, i think i look forward to that more than anything....

I will admit to sending texts from time to time on stand, but I can't even imagine reading, playing games,or listening to music. No texts 1st or last hour though.
