Reading on stand

[YukonGirl]

I suppose it's a good idea not to take along any reading that's especially interesting or else you might not look up often enough and you could miss something.

It reminds me of a time I went duck hunting with a friend. I didn't have camo gear at the time so I sat next to a tree away from the water. I had some reading to keep me busy while my friend waited for the ducks to arrive. He didn't have anything to read and so he waited, and waited and a few hours later when he got really bored, he came over to see what I was up to. That's when the ducks showed up. Of course when he tried to get back into position they scattered.

My hunting buddy did just about everything you are not supposed to do in a stand, talked on his phone, smoked, ate, read, etc, etc. He shot deer before anyone else and usually ended a season with 4 to 6 deer (legal here). Course with a family of 6 he went through a deer pretty fast. But he was bad to talk on one of those aggrivating hand held radio phones with the loud beeps. Deer would walk up to him in his tree stand while he was talking on the phone, amazing.
