What do you do in the stand to pass the time

I go old school. No electronics, just hunting. Always looking, listening, etc. I've seen deer just magically appear in range. Sure would hate to blow it on a big one because I couldn't keep my head out of some electronic contraption for a few hours.

Last year I decided to join the electronics era. Took my iPod, popped in some ear buds, laid my head back, closed my eyes and rocked to Bob Seger Makin' Thunderbirds. When the song was over I opened my eyes and there was a deer standing about 15 feet away looking up at me. My bow, of course, was hanging in the tree, I am leaned back in the chair, etc. She finally stomped her feet, threw up her tail and bolted. Leave the tunes in camp now.

I take my phone but don't use for anything but the time. I've seen those magic deer before too and it's always made me wonder how many came by that I didn't see. I wouldn't want to make them any more stealthy.

I hunt the old fashioned way...hunckered down next to a fallen tree or in a bush. No small houses for me....which mean no electronics or magazine or anything either. I have to look and move like a tree.

bird watching, and watching that thing (rock, stick, shadow) i keep thinking is a deer.

x2. Never fails.. Lol. Anytime I'm in the woods I always see something like that and it looks just like whatever I'm hunting.

I keep a few a few games on my phone that don't require service and if I'm in the stands that do get service, I get on here, surf the web, Instagram ect. But I try and limit it to the " down" times when I generally don't see much. Otherwise, I'm glued to the surroundings

sometimes sleep, sleep, watch, pee, scratch, sleep...

Thats hilarious!
Every single deer I have killed when rifle hunting, I was sleeping and a twig snap (or God was just blessing me) & woke me up. I usually had my rifle laying across my lap so I never had to reach for it.

Hasn't happened bowhunting though.

[Zeeter]

I phone..... never lets me down. TBH, twitter, text others in stands on the ranch.

[KIETHSTONE]

Concentrating on being still keeps me plenty busy.

As we get older alot more of this.

Sleep. Those piggies are always loud enough to wake me up. Guess that's why a bunch of them is called a sounder.
