What do you do ?

What do you do while sitting in your stand for hours hunting. I've talked to a couple people who read. I just sit there, what do you do?

    Spend quiet time without the phone ringing
    Get away from the wife and kids
    Watch squirrels
    Check my phone
    Wonder what the wife and kids are doing
    Try to hit squirrels with the D clip on dropline
    Watch birds, hawks, owls ,woodpeckers
    Clear my head out
    Hopefully take a deer
    Wish the freakin' woodpecker would quiet down
    Fill my head up with stuff I shouldn't worry about
    Watch deer walk 60 yards out of range
    Wish my clothes had a "trapdoor"
    Try to whittle wood
    Spit sunflower shells at squirrels
    Stop fingers bleeding from whittling wood
    ...you know regular hunting stuff

    I sit quitely and enjoy the peace and quite! I have read but mostly I just sit and think about what ever is on my mind that day. I hunt to get away from all of the other crap. But I do text message my other hunting buddies to see what they are seeing.

    i just sit there and relax and enjoy not being in my office dealing with the general public and having a telephone ring every 30 seconds. i usually have a cell phone on me while i'm hunting, just in case i get hurt, but a phone is the last thing i want to see when i'm hunting. there's usually some kind of animal or bird around to keep my attention occupied.

    --- now if i'm hunting kill permit spots in the city, i often evesdrop on other people's conversations, watch tv through their window, or on occassion, watch the neighbors wife go skinny dipping [:0]

    I sleep, sometimes read my pocket bible, daydream, see how many noises I can distguish at one time, and try to forget about everything that might be bothering me.

    I sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. Some of the times I will daydream.

    Well I try to relax forget about any thing thats bothering me . I glass a lot with the binoculars., pick my nose[:0] an occational fart for cover scent.[xx(] sometime's I will pray. But mostly I visualize and anticipate the reason I'm there so Bowinkle is uasually at the forfront.[;)][:I] I think its just the solitude most hunters enjoy. it's very personal and diverse for each individual[;)]

    Pray for those that need it, and for a quick clean harvest should I get a shot. Sleep. If I'm awake, constantly looking around. just enjoy nature for the most part.
