As long as I'm seeing Deer, I can sit all day. 4 hours is about all I can do on stand without Deer activity. When I get bored I get down and still/sneak hunt. Tree stand hunting is far too effective to not do at all, but I prefer to get on the ground and hunt Deer on their own terms. Any Deer you can take down on their own level is a trophy, especially with a bow. I never get bored when I'm sneak hunting.

Well I have successfully eliminated two states off my list of States I Might Want To Live In Someday
Then again, liquor stores aren't open here on Sundays.
Why don't they allow hunting on Sundays? As a way to extend the season without increasing the number of days huntable? If so, why not a Wednesday or something?
Or is it just a an old law that has never been changed?

Well I'm in North Carolina and there is no hunting on Sundays. There were a bunch of changes voted down this year and one of them was to allow Sunday bow hunting on private land. I think the law is very old and it was put in place so the people in church would not hear gun shots while in Sunday Service. There is a church on every corner around here. The odd thing is you can target shoot all ya want on Sunday. I get around it by working on the weekends and hunting mainly during the week, I rarely hunt Saturdays as well.

The reason why they don't change them, as told to me by the game commission is as follows: A lot of land owners leave their land open to public hunting through a co-op with the game commission. These folks want a day without hunters on their land. They're afraid that, if they allow Sunday hunting. these guys will post their land.
We hunt private land and it makes no sense why I can't hunt on my own land whenever I want. But, whatever. Rules are rules.

I've fallen a sleep waaaaay too many times....scarey to think how many deer I would have missed during those moments.
I text message people and surf the internet on my phone now....
I saw a few people mention books and i think that would like a GREAT idea....for some reasons I hadn't ever thought of that.....and I was just complaining to myself the other day that I never had time to read anymore. Perfect

The best thing for boredom in the stand is the iphone. It is by far the best piece of technology that I ever got. It is a real assest to me with my job and my personal life. Believe me, get one, and you will not be dissapointed.
