[QUOTE="TNDeerJP, post: 5215524, member: 21359"] My rule is to not gaze at electronics (phone or laptop) between daylight and 10 am and between 3 pm and dark. These are the most active deer times and I have several times looked up from a laptop or phone to find deer staring at me before I knew they were even there. Busted! I once failed to get an easy shot at an 8 pointer after watching him approach me for 20 minutes when someone called me after I had forgotten to silence my phone. Early and late in the day the back light of the screens give you away. Phone and computer screens have you staring at your lap or what's in your hands instead of what's going on around you. But doing a little work in the middle of the day really helps reduce the avalanche of emails and text messages that you can return to after a day in the field. I just try to minimize it by saying to myself "Now why was it that I got up at O-dark-thirty this morning? Drove for an hour and then walked for 15 minutes in the dark and climbed this tree into the starlight?" It wasn't to type and click on a keyboard. I could do that in the office. [/QUOTE]
