thebig1 Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 i know this has been in here before but i just had to ask again. What got me wanting to ask is the fact that i was watching Realtree Road Trips last week and i saw Michael playing a little hand held Solitare game. Even though thats exactly what i do, i also play the Battleship game too, but i was laughing because its not something that you normally see on a hunting show. I guess this just shows that Michael is just like all of us. So what do you do to pass the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christsavedme Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand Sometimes I just sit back and enjoy God's picture show. Other times I take a good book to read or a small video game, sometimes a crossword puzzle. Sometimes I work on my CHRISTMAS LIST!!!!!!!!!

horst Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand Well first I usually sit there and kinda visualize deer showing up at different spots and try to decide where I can and cant get a shot off at.Dont matter how many times I hunt the same stand, i still do this for some reason, kinda daydreaming i guesse.Then I just sit patiently and watch. Ive tried bringing books and stuff, i cant seem to pay attention when Im in a stand, i look up constantly, and either forget what i just read or get into the book and forget to look up and have deer sneak in on me, apparently i cant do 2 things at once LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand Look for deer. If I'm not looking around, then I'll usually read a book or play a handheld game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed160 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand I tried a book or game, but had a hard time concentrating on them, always felt like I was missing something walking behind me.. Now I just watch the critters & basically solve all the worlds problems.. Love the quiet time to just kick back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand I spend a lot of alone time with my maker. I've probibly done more prayer and reflection on a deer stand than anywhere else. There's not too many times that you have 12-14 hrs. in complete seclusion. I do alot of shot selection when I'm in heavy brush so I can visualize where good spots are to shoot. And I take food that doesn't make a lot of noise to snack on.

HarvDog Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand I have considered reading a book, magazine, or the Word but have always been concerned about the page turning noise. I've brought my Palm Pilot out before to play a few games but couldn't concentrate very well...worried I would miss something. Now, I just sit, watch, pray, and occasionally two-way message my hunting buddy and/or my wife with my mobile phone. Sometimes I'll close my eyes for a few minutes but, again, I don't want to miss that monster bucks that is just beggin' for me to shoot him.

Doc Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand There have been times when I have taken along reading material, but like many have already said, concentrating on reading and also concentrating on being aware of approaching deer seems to be a bit at odds with each other. Also, it occurred to me one day that flipping the white pages of magazines or books was kind of like waving a white flag. Somehow it didn't seem right to be sitting there all dressed in my expensive camo while flashing white paper around So now, I just sit back and enjoy all that nature has to offer. There always seems to be something of interest going on. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckfever7 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand I just sit and enjoy nature most of the time, get lots of thinking done. I do have a gameboy advance with tiger woods golf, keep the volume off and get a few holes in from time to time. last year i had a few games on my cell phone.

FSU_Seminole Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Re: What do you do While on Stand That really all depends on what time of year it is. If its the early and very late parts of the season I may read a book or a hunting magazine because I'm basically hunting food sources and I expect to see deer right at sunset. If its late October here or the first couple of weeks of November I'm on my Ps & Qs. You never know when you'll see something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
