Headed to Canada to freeze my arse off waiting for some nice buck. Method there is outfitter drops you off before light and picks you up after dark. The rest of the time you just sit in the stand.

What do some of you guys take to your stands to while away the down time?

books and or magazines

Playboy and Kleenex?

I take my I Touch that has a games loaded on it, books and my Blackberry. Do a lot of text messaging back and forth with my buddies about what we have seen. Often give running commentary to each other when someone sees a good one.

What do you do for the other 11 hours and 55 minutes?

Binoculars, food, hot drink.
Sketchpad and pencil.
Maybe Times crossword or sudoku, but not usually.

Batteries will run dead after a short time in the Canadian winter. It is not like Texas winter.

Damn Skippy, you forgot your rifle and bino's. No matter, I've got the hottest, new game boy.

Considering at any moment the animal of a lifetime can appear, I kinda like to keep my mind on what I'm there for. Playing games and reading books is what you do at home when you're not cleaning rifles and loading ammo.

I snooze a little, not the best way to pass the time but works for me...

I don't like to take anything to the stand because it interferes with my nap.
