Sitting still
Even though I' m a seasoned veteran at hunting .. . and I know better . . . I have a hard time sitting still in my stand. To make matters worse, most of my stands are at interscetions of multiple deer trails and I probably look like I' m at a tennis match while I sit there watching the trails from all directions. I look behind my tree a fair amount of the time since I' ve learned the hard way that deer don' t always come in the way you like . . . or expect.
Any suggestions?

RE: Sitting still
Funny you should say that Cardeer. I have a little wide angle mirror clipped to my Outhouse Blind. Have experimented with them for a couple of years. Even thought of one of those little mirrors like mechanics use with a telescoping rod for use on the stand. feel the attached deer rear view mirrors would be better.

I' ve seen the mirror' s advertized from time to time in magazines and thought, " what a joke!" After all the trouble I go to remove any hint of glare, I' m going to put up a MIRROR!? [8D][8D]

RE: Sitting still
DaveH I agree with you about the mirror and the glare, heck I hate wearing my glasses because of that, I can shoot without them so most of the time when I see a deer in the distance I take them off and deal with the blur up close, I am far sighted, not real bad, but bad enough. In regards to staying still, I use very slow movements when scanning, I also use as much cover as possible to conceal as much movement as possible.
