Passin Da Time

Postby Swede » 08 10, 2021 •  [Post 1]

Tree stand hunting usually involves hours and days of waiting. I have found it easier to pass the time by having something to do during my waiting time. I have my pack open so my book or whatever I am playing around with can be put up quickly and quietly. I am ready to grab my bow in an instant, but will read, do sudoku puzzles, or tinker with tools while I wait. Have any of you tree stand hunters found a better way to sit and wait?

I take the total time I am going to be on stand. Divide that by my number of sandwiches so I eat my sandwiches at exactly the right interval. If you wait too long....start the math all over! If you eat one too soon...start the math all over!!! I have resisted the urge to do that with my trailmix peanuts though. But one could.

I’ve tried reading and stuff but I prefer to just sit and listen. Kinda like tigger I try to find things to keep my mind busy
