It can be testing ill usually only do it if a good buck is using the area but sometimes just to be hunting... I took vacation last year and did this... other than slippin off to a heavy traffic stand to shoot a doe one morning i sat in one spot for 4 days strait and saw a total of three deer until the fourth morning ole boy decided to show up at 830am... dont always pay off though lol

I usually am in the blind at about 5:40 AM to about 9 and then get in the blind at 3 to sunset. The biggest buck we've taken is a funky looking 7 point

Morning: 30 minutes or so before you can see anything (time varies based on sunrise times as the season goes on). Thermos of coffee and bottled waters as needed. If we don't eat at camp, I grab breakfast bars / peanut butter crackers. I let the games cams tell me when they are moving as a general rule.

Evening: Normally @ 2.5 - 3 hours before dark. Usually no food but maybe some jerky as I had a good lunch and dinner comes after the evening hunt. I have beer and water. Nice to kick back and have a cold one or few while watching mother nature go to sleep for the evening, provided you're not blitzed and incapable of doing that.

The funnest ride back to camp is with a deer strapped up and a cold one in your hand, just enjoying the cool air in your face and looking forward to sharing your kill with camp buddies / cleaning said deer / making dinner / building a nice fire and watching some college football with the crew.

In my case, we are not on public roads, just dirt roads that lie within the property.

Don't forget the beer.

A bottle of water and a can a snuff is all that's needed.

You guys got it down for sure!

Marlboro Lights and a lighter and of course coffee in the morning and water in the evening.

On dark, gloomy days, I am always encouraged and able to spend more time on stand. I'll stay longer in the mornings and I'll get back on stand earlier on those days too. If it's really cold, I'll stay longer as well. On warm and bright days, not so much.

What do y'all sit on? 4 hours on a bucket is a nightmare

Do you guys sit on buckets or chairs

I stand in a tree... One day I want to jump on one and latch on to it's neck with my teerh

Old office chairs with an added cushion, or my Summit climber with the old air seat.

A good office chair makes for a perfect nap

A good office chair does wonders. If my butt gets tired, i'll get up and stretch, then move to the other office chair in the stand.

Office chairs for us. Very comfortable and I can swivel around and check out the different approaches to my setups.

I used to sit on buckets but it made so much noise moving around because the blind was all wood. Those office chairs are game changers

old office chair with a rubber mat on floor of blind. Sit on my butt in an office but being in the woods is so much easier and nicer!

Office chair is the only way to go for sitting a long time. Take a full jug of water and an empty jug to pee in. Don't get them mixed up!
Pack a lunch and some sweets and other snacks.
Several hours in a blind can be rewarding, and it can also be pretty boring.
Get out and walk around the stand to stretch will help as well, and that could include corning the area you are hunting.

So you pee in a bottle but get out and walk around the stand? I try and pee in the scrapes near my stand.

You hunt enough to know better than that! What do you do when you have to go and there are a half dozen or so deer out in front of you or close enough by that peeing in your scrape will scare them out of the county?

In that instance, I pee in a water bottle, too.

I also bring some venison jerky from previous year, 5 hour energy, SLR digital camera with zoom lens for 'shooting' the non-shooters and other critters like those dang squirrels that sound like a 12 pointer running up on the blind lol. I know its kinda retentive but I also have a white board with the sunrise sunset and am/pm major and minor activity times filled in for the day. My cell phone literally saved my life last year when I had a heart attack after cleaning my dear. I was able to get ahold of the hunter on the land over to me to direct the EMS to my blind and he found me in the woods to get me to the hospital in time!

Wow, what a scary moment that must have been.

Bringing a camera sounds like a good idea to pass time... And fun.

I gotta say, looking at the time and waiting for the feeder to go off is one of the most exciting parts of the hunt
