Stand placement is one of them. I tend to throw a set up as soon as I see a scrape[>:]

Also not being able to stay in the stand. During evening sits I will always sit till dark, but in the morning, if i'm not seeing any deer I am ready to go pretty quick. I need more patience.

ORIGINAL: TEmbry

My weakness is waking up..it isn't that I don't want to, or that the warmth of bed is too tempting...I physically have a hard time getting up. I need two separate alarms or my body shuts one off on autodrive without me batting an eye..then I wake up at 830, pissed because there is sunshine in my window.[&:]

Happened twice this fall early season, I now set two to three alarms. My phone beside me, and My alarm clock across the room where I have to get up and walk to it to turn it off.
Dude, Im feeling you, I set three alarms to get me up for work.... 2 on the cell, and 1 on the clock. STILL have a hard time rolling out. Hunting is the same way, sometimes.

I sleep like a log though Aaron. LOL

I once had the fire alarm go off IN my room, and I never woke up...my parents came in and had to cover their ears getting it to go off, I never even flinched LOL. That could potentially be bad though.[&:]

I can't sit still. I fidget constantly.

Going where I want to go, not where I should go.

I have to get up at 2:50 am to make it out in time at the place I hunt. I have a hard time going to bed by 2am, much less waking up around then. [&o]

I hate to go pee in the woods so at some point I have to leave the woodsand find an actual bathroom. (hey you asked)

I won't shoot out past 30 yards. I've let some monster bucks go by at 40 yards. (one nearly 200") I'm not sure it's something I want to 'fix'. To me bowhunting is about getting within 30 yards.
