How do you pass the time in the blind?

A good book is great to pass the time, but as long as there is ANYTHING moving around, including squirrels, jackrabbits, birds or whatever I'm usually OK. It's the long treestand hours that kill me. Afraid to move at all, nothing to watch - trying to keep from falling asleep. It can be brutal.

 

It's amazing how watching a squirrel go about his business can pass the time. I've sat for hours watching a pine squirrel prep his den only to have a hawk sit on a branch arm's distance away watching his next dinner, and waiting for the right time to swoop in. That really makes the day fly.

 

Nothing against the blackberries, games or texting - but for me the time in the field is a great chance to get away from that. Maybe it's because with my job I'm always "connected" - but I'd rather watch a lizard than play with electronic gizmos while I'm hunting. To each their own, I suppose.

good one azonecam... it seems if u look hard enough u can always find a critter doing something to pass the time..

 

i watch 2 hawks fight off doves all day and a family of squirrels just being nutty

 

 

oohh i always have humming birds trying to pollinate my nocks which is spooky cause my quiver is inverted when in a treestand.. ie. right by my face

I sit there and enjoy the surroundings, and take pictures of some of the other animals that come by, I usually end up finding a deer right after, like they know that I am paying attention to the turkeys, squirrel, skunks or something else that I had the pleasure of seeing living its life oblivious to my existence.
