IA..I had a guy tell me he used this technique this year to bring in some smaller does the first week of season. He saw them, dropped acorns at a good rate (ones that he had picked up on the way in) and the deer migrated toward him. I have never tried it.

I have no idea how you came to this conclusion.
I love being in the woods and taking in all the nature around me. In fact, I live for it. There are very few things that I love more than climbing high up in a tree and watching the wonderful sights around me. It is personal for everyone, and I enjoy it much more than most...I would venture to say.
Bottom line-just because I listen to a couple songs during the mid-day sits, doesn't mean I amin thatstandfor the sole purpose of killing. It is about SO much more than that.

Quite honestly what is hunting about anymore? I mean if you're going to listen to music why dont you just sit in your house (owned by your parents) and listen to music there? If you want to listen to music that basically implys all you are out there for is to kill an animal. Isnt hunting supposed to be about more than just a kill? I mean to me I love just being out in the woods, watching nature, seeing deer, and being by myself. How can you do those things with music ringing in your ears?

And again, I feel this way because if you're preoccupied with listening to that music, then you arent taking in what hunting is actually all about; the sounds, the sights, the presence of being in the woods away from society and everything else. Instead you're just there in the woods as a killer, not a hunter.
This is just me expanding on what I meant. Now that I've had time to think about this whole thing I wish I hadn't posted in the first place because people can hunt however they want. We each have our own ways, you do yours and Ill do mine. I didnt need to make it a big deal I suppose.

fingerz42, no biggie
I'm sure you didn't mean to come across like that. I could have just taken it the wrong way.
I just wanted to get the point across that I do in fact love the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. I love it all. As I'm sure you do, too.

RE: What to do in stand?
OnOctober 1st I spent the day in my stand hunting while writing an essay for my English Comp II class. It wasnt by choice though. I either got it done at home or in the woods so I figured what the heck. Usually I am good for 3-4 hours till I get antsy, I have always thought about bringing something to entertain myself, but never have. Somedays I enjoy the calm serenity of the woods and other days I want something to entertain myself. Heck the IPhone would be great. You could look through aerial photos or surf the internet.......maybe HNI.

Why not just take in all of the surroundings?

that could be looked at as baiting.

Okay lets switch it up...what if he dropped rocks that mimicked the sounds of acorns...is that baiting?
