Guest whitetailarcher Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Re: Who sits in a stand all day? I only do it during rut when big bucks are more likely to be moving during the day. I bring a lunch of course and a camera for wildlife photos to past the time. This even keeps a 15 yr old like me entertained for the day. My cousin brings in silent video games which I've never tried because I like to be out in the woods to get away from that stuff and enjoy the outdoors.

Guest DaveGP Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Re: Who sits in a stand all day? the best advice i can give is to stay out until atleast noon. sometimes you get that great situation when you stay out all day and have your big buck come in while on an afternoon walk. during the rut stay out all you can! but for other times i would suggest atleast until noon. when i go out if there is no movement sometimes i will leave before then but i really usually pack a small snack and stay until one. its up you to decide how long you can stay out and what its worth,the movement is usally slower in the afternoon but like i said if and when you get lucky it could be worth it! dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Re: Who sits in a stand all day? I have no problem sitting in a stand all day......I carry a pocket Bible to read from, when I'm bored....and enjoy all of natures splender when I'm not. There have been times when I haven't gotten much sleep, and get tired on stand. Then, since I hunt exclusively from ladder stands, I just move one notch down and sit on the foot platform and snug myself in with my lanyard so I can't fall out....and catch some zzz's All in all, it is nothing for me to be on stand 10-12 hours.......sometimes a little longer....

HuntnMa Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Re: Who sits in a stand all day? i do almost every hunt i hunt, from dark to dark....if i'm walking the distance, i will not waste a minute...i say 97% of the time i'll stay put.....when everyone is getting up and leaving the deer are moving closer.....i have seen more hogs and deer between 11:00-2:00 ....between 2-4 suck usually, i try to take a nap, but it rarely works...
