How's going to sit all day Saturday/Muzzleloader

[Apple1982]

I'd like to try. I've only done it once!! Guess will see.... Thanks for input y'all!!

I think it's suppose to rain all weekend. Otherwise I would be in the stand all weekend. I will probably take a break unless they are just moving like crazy, I will make a judgment call based in movement and weather,,

Depending on what the weather looks like as we get closer I'm considering sitting all day. Never done it but it's going to be a real warm week and Saturday and Sunday look like they're going to be a good bit cooler so in theory, deer should be on their feet more. If the wind allows me to hunt one of the spots I feel more confident with, I'll more then likely give it a shot.

I've got 9 days off starting the 7th and I'm gonna ride my treestands till I get saddle sores or kill out. I don't have a problem sitting all day during the rut,you could kill a deer at any time. A comfortable stand, warm clothes/boots,some food,a good book and confidence in your stand choice makes it easy. If ever their was a time to try to stay in the stand all day,the next 2 weeks after Saturday is it. I hope if it ain't gonna be cold and clear,we have several days of drizzly,calm, gloomy 70 degree days.Those days can be almost as good as the cold days.

I have to work nights all weekend, but am planning on leaving early Monday morning and sitting all day Monday and Tuesday..

 

[Deer Assassin]

nope
3 hours in am
3 hours in pm

 

[Matador]

Probably not. Don't want to wear myself out before the rut. That's when to do it.

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

Well they are calling for clear sky's and lows in the thirtys and highs in the mid 50s. Now. Could change things for me, I think if this weather holds it will be a serious judgement call based on movement sat AM .

Me too, but 2 different stands....Morning is a crossing facing west and evening is a food plot facing south.... :evil:

Probably just morning hunt.
Need to haul out a load of wood and head to Catoosa to scout.
Maybe I'll have one of the target bucks come in early. Haven't been able to go but 2 times they ortnot be pressured any lol.

Rain Thursday and Friday cold front for the weekend should have them on their feet

Sat here is 90 percent rain. Sun morning is 38 degrees with high of 58 and partly sunny. I'm hoping the sat forecast changes by then.

If your speaking of the rut as in the chase phase you better be in the stand all day for the next week and a half. If you speak of the rut as when they actually breed I don't see many deer on their feet during that time.

 

[TNReb]

Not me. Sitting all day is too much like work. I've done it before and don't care to do it again...

 

[hitek7]

Not I....

If I get out of the tree any time during the first 21 days in November I'm always thinking "He's walking past my stand right now" and it bothers me so I have to go climb back in. Later in the season it's a couple hours morning and evening unless a big bad cold front is coming the next day. I know I can't go daylight to dark 9 days straight but I'm gonna do all I can.

 

[Hardwoodmaterials]

I have to work 8am-8pm Saturday and Sunday. :cry:

 

[UTGrad]

Still a couple weeks out before I try a long sit.

:tu:

 

[Dbllunger]

I have done it a few times. When I was younger. It can be grueling. Not anymore for me.

 

[Wobblyshot1]

Probably a few hours Saturday morning. I'm taking the wife and she's wanting to kill one sooo badly.....been trying for a couple of years and this would be her first.

 

[csi-tech]

I hunt from sunup until 11:00 then get down and stretch, eat lunch and rest until 2:00 then I'm back up. All day sits can cause blood clots.

 

[Brisco Darlin]

i'll be out a few hours in morning. go get a good home cooked meal from momma , take a nap at their house and then back out in the afternoon until dark.

Makes good sense. I've done an all day sit, but it doesn't guarantee a shot just because the one you want eventually walks by....Doubt you can get blood clots from an all day sit in a Summit Viper with a footrest, BUT... I can't shoot a deer in my sleep or while standing and stretching, either. I KNOW I missed a chance on a nice buck from the latter, and I suspect the former, as well.

You can absolutely get blood clots if you sit stationary for long periods.

I'm glad this was mentioned cause my friend's dad died of a pulmonary embolism while on stand. I try to stand at least once an hour and do calf raises.

Yeah, that's why the footrest helps. Lets you change positions and stretch some. Of course, the Summit seat is made to be comfortable and allow some different positions. I'll stand some as well, but every time I do and lean up against the tree I'm always wondering why Summit didn't give me a whole platform. Lol.

Most of the hard chasing in our area and breeding occurs late second week and third week of Nov. Most all bucks our club kills first week Mzloading are by themselves.

Ive never made it all day but I'm going to do my best this weekend.
