When will you start your all days sits?

[ATbuckhunter]

I don't normally stay the whole day in the treestand. I usually stay until 11-11:30 then i get down and come back 12:30 - 1. I may start doing all day sits come November.

I never do all day sits.  If I missed seeing a few deer because I didn't sit all day, so be it.  I think many people who do these all day sits become bug eyed, cold, bored and un-attentive by about 11AM, that they will probably miss seeing any deer that might sneak by anyway.  Best thing to do is to take a break, have lunch, maybe a nap, and you'll be refreshed for the afternoon.

 

Not at my camp! Hunt hard or stay home………..lol

If I get a whole day to hunt, I will hunt all day. The only reason I'll go back to my Jeep is to drive to another hunting spot. I rarely sit in one spot all day. It all depends on wind direction.

I don't do many all dayers anymore. Maybe 2 or 3, tops all season during peak  bow. Gun season I will sit till 11 or 12, take a break and then head back out at 2 till dark, but I only do that the first week or so.. Most times its just mornings or just evenings.

 

Back in the salad days I would pack a lunch & a piss jug and  stay put from dark to dark.

I sit all day everyday... I don't get bored, don't sleep a wink and don't fade out. I wait all year for the season and I hit the ground running. Oh and the wife yells at me cause I drink 2 5 hour energy drinks every sit.... :/

This year I may not sit all day everyday since it's my first year up here. I'll put in some time and see how the movement is accordingly. Always saw many deer in the afternoon early season on LI.

This season I lost some properties and may score a big farm (fingers crossed) but have not took any inventory on LI as I know there there but most stressful part is I haven't had a chance to pull inventory yet. Hope I get this farm permission so I can start. Hope the last laid plans are the best or I'm in trouble lol

Will go out for few hours in morning and then go back for afternoon till dark. Can't sit all day cause of neuropathy in legs,some days it is pretty bad so have to get up and move around. No all day sits for me.

[Sogaard]

I have a very limited amount of time that I can hunt, so any day I can get away is an all-day-sit.  My first two will be 10/4 and 10/5.  

 

The next weekend is the youth weekend, so the 12th and 13th will be all about trying to get my sons their first deer.  After that, I'll try to get out once more before bow season ends, but it's not guaranteed.

One thing I have picked up on over the years is that fall is the time when deer patterns shift the most frequently. Food sources and cover are rapidly changing. So the one spot fits all approach doesn't cut it for me where I am. What that means is that I do have to do a lot of in-season scouting. While it is not impossible for a deer to wander by at mid-day, usually the most effective time of deer movement is at both ends of the day. So some portion of the mid-day is the sacrificial time for me to go out and see what the heck is going on in other areas and how the food sources are shaping up and being used. That way I have some scouting results to base the next stand location on.

I've known plenty of these all day sitters.  Come seasons end I end up bagging more than they do.  It works for me so I ain't changing it!

31 days off this bow season ,can hunt half the other days a bit mid day if I chose,just don't ever do the all day thing though.

Hunt the morning go home,to the gym,work in yard ,nap go back for last hour or so.

I thought i read an article a few years back that documented a large number of the big boys were taken between 10 and 2 , Lunchtime for us , i stay put.

Pre rut is usually afternoons with a few mornings. No all days till rut.

[Gun Jammed]

Off Wednesday Thursday Friday, took vacation days so for those three days I will be in before dark and out at dark. As for the other days I usually stroll into the woods when the sun is rising and hang out for as long as I can.

[NYbuck50]

I might do it opening day, just to be in the tree in the woods. In all likelyhood though, ill sit from hour before light until 12-1, come out for lunch, and back to my evening spot around 3

[Fantail]

All day hunts are a rarity but have paid off before. Maybe if I'm hitting an old favorite spot, day run to state land, or just somewhere else to break up the stand routine. If there's a forecast that lets say it's going to storm up for a while early or before dark, I'm more likely to hit a stand/spot for the better part of the day instead.

[fishuntrapper]

I will hunt every hour every time I get to go out, no matter the season, no matter the weather(except very high winds). I come out early or go in late only when there are other obligations.
