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
[&:]. 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!

If I detect 100 deer, here.....I'll HEAR 85 of them before I see them.
I even hate the fact that I have a mask over my ears......but it's needed. I wouldn't listen to music and hunt.....unless I didn't care too much about hunting (care about scoring).

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.
