I'll start.
Honestly I think my biggest weakness is that after several hours on stand without much action... I lose focus. Some days it happens quicker than others. I'm not entirely sure how you "fix" this... but I'd sure like to know.

Having carefully planned entrance and exit routes from my stands. Sometimes I just tend to get there without thinking about the best way to approach or leave so I don't disturb the deer.

Dragging my sorry ass out of bed and staying motivated knowing that I'm in store for a morning of pain and suffering to get to the top of the mountain, especially when every year the pain gets worse. (Think of climbing slippery flights of vertical stairs for 3 straight hours to get to where you even start to hunt.)

Something I worked on this year was staying still on stand. I fidget and think it costs me without me knowing it. The other thing I'm working on is being quiet getting in and out of the stand. I hunt from a climber a lot so setting up requires some noise, but I want to minimize it as much as possible.
Another weakness is farting on stand, seriously. I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) so for me not farting is not an option. It's hard to shoot a bow when you're doubled over with cramps. So, playing the wind is EXTREMELY important.
