shawnhu Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've done a few. But I don't sit, I ground hunt and move around. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I do all day sits any day I can. It's tough, but I just stick with it till dark. Kind of a mental game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampotter Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I do it for 5-6 days straight during the rut. It can be boring at times but I've seen some pretty big deer on their feet between 11 and 2... I killed this one at 1:30 pm in 2007 during one of my 1st all-dayers. My Dad had called me and told me I was nuts. I called him 45 minutes later to tell him I had just stuck an arrow in this buck... BTW- this deer taught a little bit about aging deer. Confirmed 3 year old by cementum annuli analysis. He grossed 139 (broken left brow) but if you ignore the antlers and look at the rest of him it makes sense.

bkln Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Opening day only if weather permits, but I don't really sit around at about 11-12 I walk around and get back to my stand about 2-3 until dark hundred. The rest of the season I skip mid-day and usually have one spot for mornings and another for evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecoupe Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 It depends on conditions, movement, etc. When I do go, I'm in the woods all day unless of course I get one. I carry a lunch and stay. Do I stay in one place or move/still hunt? Again, it depends. I've seen a lot of deer mid-day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo711 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I try to do at least a couple all day sits during bow but those have become tough with all the kids activities the last few years. But will definitely sit all day opening weekend and any other day that I take the drive down to where I do most of my gun hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 i usually do all day sits almost every sit starting from opening day. however, this year has been so slow with mid day movement and temps just way to warm for me to do so that i think i have done 1 maybe 2 all day sits... i love sitting all day trail cam is showing some activity picking up mid day with some 1pm movement. but im looking for more 11-1 activity and ill start sitting all day.

mbucks27 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Been hunting since Saturday and I have seen the most buck movenent from 11 to 2. Then it dies down and starts to pickup around 4. Bucks will start crusing for does in their bedding areas around that time. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayrat Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The only way I can do it is if I am seeing consistent deer. Otherwise I get way to antsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sit from sunrise till around 11. Walk around/stalk/still hunt. Sit again from 3 till dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azhuntress Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 In archery season I will do a few days of all day sits sometime during the last two weeks of the season but the weather has to be cooperative as I will not sit out all day in the rain or on super windy days. Over the years I have seen many bucks during the "off" hours and sometimes wonder why I make myself get up so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two 10s Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 All day, every day! If I have to take care of something in the morning or evening... Then guess what, I can't. I don't like disturbing the woods if I don't have too. I do cheat sometimes at the end of the season, when its -2000*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 When I had a large property to hunt id just move from one stand to another to break it up a bit. Now I just have to many other responsibilities and sneak out after 3 or 4 hrs get some things done head out for the last 2 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnell Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 In gun season, I do all day sits the first 2 days. The other days I am out, I usually sit til about 10 and walk around or sit at another spot for awhile and then head back and sit from 2 til dark.

YFKI1983 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I always sit all day the first 2 days of gun season. Stand has to be comfortable though. Some stands I have to stand up and stretch every once in a while. I am going to be sitting 3 days straight this weekend. Hopefully I get a shot at something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCKANDAQUARTER Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 For me it depends how the back is. So far this year I haven't done an all day'r yet. Opening weekend of rifle I always sit all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening weekend of rifle I always sit all day. gander mountain sells a 10 $ lumbar support that will help your back tremendously! It weighs absolutely nothing and you can just strap it to your pack for the walk in... i picked one up this year and clip it to the climber for the walk in... cheap easy fix..

Hopefully I get a shot at something For our permanent stands a few weeks b4 season we install boat seats to a frame then to the base of the stand. Super comfortable and it swivels. My lower back tends to get stiff these seat deff help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
