It's about that time. I think I'll be starting my all day sits this weekend. Anybody else feeling it?

I'll be sitting all day this weekend. The weather is going to be excellent! I have Friday off also, hopefully the rain holds out.

I'm not a big fan of all day sits. I've doe it but but never had one amount to anything but a waste of time with no sightings. If I do it this year it will be the 7th through the 10th. If I dont see anything by 2:00 or so I might have to move.
I don't think I've ever sat all day in one stand. Just don't have the patience I guess. If I don't have action I gotta move.

I've never done an "all day sit" but year after year it seems like I the main property I hunt lacks early morning activity but has good afternoon activity. I usually go in about 9 am and sit until dark. It allows me to sleep in a little and still get to see some good action.
All day sits are not good for boney asses. Do they make solar charges for smart phones ?? The boredom just kills me. Just the same, if I'm not out, my wife gets pissed at me for moaning about not being out....lol

I just bought one of these portable phone chargers. It recharges my Galaxy S5 3-4 times before it needs recharging. I bought it with all day sits in mind.

Even with that phone charger I doubt I'll be able to sit all day. After about 4 hours I get too fidgety. I never did all day sits hunting here. Just not enough deer to be worth it. I did it 2 years ago a couple times on my Ohio trip and it was tough. How do you guys do it? 12 hours in a tree is a long damn time.
I have a Millennium and a phone charger, so all day sits ate fine by me! I'll sit all day Friday and possibly again Saturday.
All dayers are best near bedding areas and pinch points and yes it's about that time of year!

Yep love all day sits as long as I am in a millennium stand and close to a bedding area and good funnel area.
Used to do it in a regular old stand but not anymore.

I've never done one.. I would struggle to sit in one stand all day. I've done morning and evening hunts and eat lunch at home

I do a few every year. They have not been very productive for me. My plan this year is to do a third or half day sits and move to try and find the action if it is not in front of me. I plan to hunt dark to dark and make quick moves from one end of the county to the other. Something Ron said stuck with me. The Rut is happening somewhere, you just have to find it.
If I do all dayers I use my LW climber . Its alot more comfortable than my hang ons . And as others said , pick your places for all dayers . Funnels , bedding areas and travel corridors between bedding areas .

Absolutely, I might add: if you don't see a deer within 2 hours? Move to another location. It's the rut and it's happening SOMEWHERE.
Really? I always feel like if I move, it'll be my luck that something comes through right after. Now you got me thinking.
