How many of you look at rokslide while sitting in a deer stand ? Has screwing around on your phone ever messed up yoùr chance on an animal. Pre cell phone we used to sit and get some thinking in . Some guys would read books

Never messed up an opportunity for me but it's a good way to kill some time when it's slow.

Some memes have made me blow air out of my nose pretty forcefully. Takes all I can not to chuckle
I’m guessing the deer just think it’s Sasquatch and his fall allergies…

It’ll definitely screw up your hunt if you stay on it often enough

I do look at rockslide and a few other forums from my deer stand. I try not to be distracted at prime times so far I have not missed a deer or lost an opportunity for doing so.

I do still sit and enjoy nature and deep thoughts or even daydream.

Every time. I've not messed up a hunt (yet), but I've looked up from my phone to see a deer that had appeared without me noticing.

Luckily my favorite spot is in a dead zone for cell service. It doesn’t stop me from playing a few offline games or deleting old emails/pics messages.

No service where I hang my stands either, but I do read a book for those all day sits.

I don't stand hunt but I do scroll in the duck blind when it's slow. We have a theory that messing around on our phones will make ducks appear.

It ranks fourth in making ducks appear. #1 is unloading your shotgun. #2 is picking up decoys, and #3 is walking out.

When I hunted from a blind with my kids I’d surf a little and they’d play games. It passed the time cause I’d have us get in the blind an hour or more before prime time to let things settle down.
I don’t believe we missed any opportunities, but who’s to say.
