I like them. Just don't look at the clock, and bring plenty of eats.

My opinion is they are long and tiring so you better have some high energy food to keep you going and you better have a really comfortable treestand if you're going to be sitting in a tree all day.

Have done a few of these this year it's tuff but can be rewarding

When I was hunting my old lease I did it pretty often cause I had confidence a good buck could step out at anytime, honestly I haven't had a place I felt like was worth it since

200 isn't much to walk on. IMO I would sit in a stand down wind of the thickest stuff you can find and hold tight. JMO

I usually do it every year. It can be tough mentally and physically. I didn't do it this year.

 

[Todd Bell]

not worth it to me. i either kill my big deer before ten or after 1430.

All day sits are difficult in my opinion and prefer not to. I've done them but mid afternoon gets slow. The past one that i attempted was at lbl during the thanksgiving hunt. Only reason i sat all day is because i had one full day to hunt and i drove from knoxville and the second being is i walked close to a mile back in the woods. However, I did have a shot a a very nice buck around 2:00. Shot three times and missed. He was on hot pursuit of a doe and I just couldnt connect. I was sick.

If I'm on a hunting trip I usually hunt daylight til dark, especially during the rut. Much harder to stay put if Im close to home even though I do it ocasionally.

I really like the all day sits. I have done 4 or 5 this year. Had plans on staying all day before, but made kills so ended the hunt early.

I can make it to 11 or sometimes 12 if deer activity is good but I'm not man enough for all day

 

[ImThere]

I move during all day sits maybe 3 stands, do a little walking. Getting up early and and leaving late is a long day my last one i got up around 3am and returned home well after 8 pm was successful hunt but tiresome

 

[Vermin93]

The most important thing might be to have a comfortable treestand or a nice spot on the ground so you can take a nap!

Glad you're back posting again DH1990. I've never done an all day sit personally but I've hunted mid morning till dark.

Just remember hunting should be fun, not miserable.

Did it today and am whooped. Saw 4 bucks cruising 2 shooters I couldnt get on 2 young ones I coulda shot. Was planning on going tomorrow but at the moment feeling whooped.

 

[deerhunter1990]

yeah hopefully i will have some luck tomorrow morning gonna be pretty cold and i think its full moon tonight

 

[Winchester]

I only pull them at high % times in November. If I don't have pretty good confidence in seeing a good buck I normally wont sit all day in a tree!

All day sits are very tough. I did one this year. I've had better luck on either morning or evening hunts. All day hunts are just a guarantee I'll take a couple days off. This year I came down Thanksgiving morning and jumped my 9 pointer. I saw him as I came out for the day and shot him at 10:00am or so. No plans for all day sits in the near future. I'm getting too old.
