Scbasshunter Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I am thinking of an all day sit sometime soon and am wondering how some of you guys/gals do it. Getting hungry or thirsty wont be the problem, but having to go to the bathroom will be. I have read in several studies that peeing out of the stand doesn't bother the deer, but what is the best way to go about #2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sitting all day. All day sits only make since during the rut. Early season will just get you a bunch of bug bites and a dead phone battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sitting all day. Don't eat much the day before and get it out in the morning and you should be good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I sit all day only opening day of bow and gun season. After that my area gets a lot of pressure. So then it is only morning til 10 and afternoons(3:30) til dark. Never had a issue with having to do #2 on stand. I get up early enough and have my coffee and clean out and up before heading afield.

Rhino Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 All day sits only make since during the rut. Early season will just get you a bunch of bug bites and a dead phone battery Ditto. I'm a believer in conserving my season's worth of energy so I won't get burnt out. I want to have the will to make all day hunts during the rut when it matters most. During the rut the old saying "it can happen anytime" is far more likely than the early season. As for your #2 question...simple for me. I don't stuff myself the prior evening but I do eat a good meal. Next morning I'll be up at least 1 1/2 hours before I'm going to start getting ready to hunt. That way I can relax with a cup or 2 or 3 of coffee. I have plenty of time to work up and take care of that morning move you're referring to before I get my morning shower to go hunt. I don't have a problem getting up ~4:00 to 4:15 in the morning. It would be earlier if I had to drive any distance. BTW...that also gives me plenty of time to organize everything I'm taking to the stand for an all day sit too. I don't take too much food to the stand...just enough to satisfy my hunger pains till supper time. I do take extra water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I sit all day most of the time if I don't change stands. I bring water and jerky. Cliff bars work well too. when you're ready to throw in the towel, tell yourself 10 more minutes. then after that 10 more minutes. usually you see something and are good for a while longer. if you're hunting pressured land don't leave at 9:30am stay at least until 11am then come back at 1pm instead of say 3pm. you want to be on stand when others are coming and going, bumping deer along the way. I've killed a lot of my deer while other hunters are coming and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sitting all day. The reason I mention it is because while putting up stands a couple weeks ago, we saw deer moving all day. My stand is by a pond and could potentially have deer come through at any time of day. Also had a pic of a buck out at 2:52pm at my cousins farm down the road from where I hunt. Just seems possible to see one at any hour if the day. I guess that's why they call it hunting.

Strut10 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Good advice above. Rise early, complete your morning ritual, good to go. I sit all day EVERY day I hunt during the rut outside of a few circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Most of us "older " guys are in a set eating/sleeping pattern, that sets your "body" clock to do it's business on time every day...for me it's right soon after I get up most days. I'll whiz off a deer stand..never had them spook yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 you mean you don't buy one of those expensive bottles to pee in, and then carry it around with you all day? then dump it in a nice spot outside the woods like everything thing else that runs through the woods all frolic like? I don't much anymore. I will take a real cheap bottle, like an empty gatorade bottle if I'm sitting in a blind or a shooting house though. Don't want to unzip a blind & get out for a relief break. Worse for a shooting house if your only option is to open the door & let it fly wetting down the ladder or whatever you use to climb down later. Even worse than that...could find yourself having to...as the old saying goes..."******* in the wind"! I typed in the stars...you fill in the blanks. Pun intended!!!

Ravin R10 man Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I tried the pee in a bottle deal during gun season...it gets cold here and at the end of the day I had a yellow ice cube that would not pour out....so I threw the bottle and said that's enough of that...I have a tower blind, so I need to stand once in a while..so...

Turkeygirl Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Use to sit almost all day during the gun opener weekend....Last year filled my buck tag opening morning. If I still have my bow and tags during the rut, I'll sit longer but not ALL day...there's something called work,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I can sit al day. For#2, it has never been an issue with me. I don't have to 99% of the time and otherwise, I am able to wait. On the rare occasion when it had to be, critters never seemed to respond or get alarmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
