me too, I like messin with him and tell him I'm watching a buck he's been hunting for 3 years, and contemplating taking him out of the herd myself...

Iphone has pretty much ruined me as an outdoor purist, they are way handy, and definitely help pass time in the blind. Cold beer aint bad either!

I read a lot. Always thought about a gameboy or something, but am afraid the button pushing would scare em.

Until I was too crippled up to get in the stand I spent my time watching the pasture for movement, Now I hunt out of the cabin's bedroom window because I cannot get into a tower blind. I watch the wheat field out of the window and the tree line. When I get tired, I might go back to bed or if I just get tired of watching the field I turn on the TV. Sometimes I go into the kitchen area and make breakfast.

Being a college student in my senior year I have plenty of reading that I didn't do during the week that I will catch up on during hunting season in the blind.

I do a lot of that too when i hunt in a blind.... but then i quit using a blind and i got way way behind in my reading.

I can't read and watch for Deer at the same time, so I load my iPhone with a Audible Book and listen to someone read to me while I watch for Deer.

Well, now that I primarly duck hunt, I shoot the breek and cut up.

I keep thinking about bring the out-door stove and cooking some bacon and eggs. Only the wind destroyed our blind and we're hunting out of moble blinds this year.

When I don't see deer, fret over it and think that I should have hunted my other blind. Then I text or talk on the radio to others on the lease.

Read Louis Lamour books. Read a page then watch for a few minutes, then repeat.

Good one.

I prefer hunting out of tripods and outside of checking an occasional sports score, I'm pretty much glassing the whole time. I can see for several miles from my favorite tripod and I enjoy looking all around.

However, when I've got a big project going at work, I'll often load up all my files in a backpack, haul it into a blind, and stay in there from sunup to sun down, working and occasionally looking for deer.

Call it my "south" office.

phone dosen't work in the blind, i'm grateful for that.

occasionally i will read a magazine or something, i do get some good naps in (one of lifes greatest pleasures is sleeping in the blind on a november afternoon), but I'm mostly just glassing and watching the area real good. got into bringing my camera into the blind so i take alot of pics of birds, small animals, etc

In off peak times (middle of the day) I'll read Louis Lamour novels. Now that I have an Iphone this year, it opens up my options with the audio book app. and the built in ipod.

One of my co-workers killed the biggest buck of his life from inside their little hunting "cabin" (actually a Morgan building). They overslept opening morning and were scambling around trying to get dressed. He looks out his little window by his bunk and sees Muy Grande standing about 50 yards from the cabin. He grabs his rifle, loads it, and knocks him down.

All his buddys were laughing at him. He thought it was because he killed his buck while he was just wearing his underwear. They were all laughing because he had spent all his time and money scouting, putting up a feeder, putting up a stand, etc and killed his buck before he even went out on the seasons first hunt.

Same here Cameron00 i get myself a little knap in.

it happens like that.

we had a 2 acre field in front of our cabin we'd use for a rifle range, skeet range, driving range, etc. there was a doe and two fawns that hung around camp consistantly, so before id go out for the evenign i'd make a pass with the tailgate feeder so they'd have something to snack on and keep them around.

the hunting had been tough, we had seen plenty of bucks but nothing to get worked up about, after a few days we came back to camp a little early, dusk but not dark. when i pull in, there is about a 160 inch deer sitting in the field munching on apple scented deer corn. did'nt get alarmed just gave us a "leave me alone" look and continued eating till dark.

Drink Beer and Iphone

If the hunt gets boring enough that I need to entertain myself I will just start walking the property. I always keep a list in my head of who is where and make sure I have some options of where to go. I have killed the biggest deer that way. Phone doesn't work so I get peace and quiet at the ranch.

Do college homework and dip...

I take exclusively online classes during hunting season so I can hunt/school at the same time.

Only a couple of places on the ranch we hunt to text, but i usually download a came to the phone, eat a crap i shouldnt eat, drink coffee, sharpen a knive or whittle....but as of last year, when i get bored and its just me and my dad on 700 acres I will get out and walk and rattle, that beats any iphone, text or game!

I was hunting a ground blind one cold, foggy morning in the hill country. The fog was so thick that you couldn't see the feeder less than 100 yards away. Now, this blind sat right on the ground and didn't have door. You had to crawl in one of the large open windows and sit on the floor.

I couldn't see anything so I decided to catch some zzz's. Some time into my nap I had the feeling that I was being watched. I opened my eyes and sure enough there was something in the window of the blind. It startled me and I jumped. When I jumped it became startled....and blew snot all over me. It was a dang cow, which after blowing snot all over me, caused a stampede as it ran away.

Scared and covered in snot I decided to call it and went back to camp. No more sleeping in the deer blind for me.

I hunt. Period.
No playing on the phone, reading books, watching tv or taking a nap.
If I want to do any of that, I stay home and leave the woods undisturbed.

I glass my buddy in his blind about 900 yards away from me............through my scope!

He hates it!

I always tell him "Don't worry, dude. The safety was on."
