How to combat WOTNR syndrome?

[sebek556]

  don't think I want to borrow his stand... 

[videorc]

The 4 S's of all day tree stand hunting. Stand, Stretch, Sleep, Solitaire.

Imagine yourself three days from now, looking back today, saying to yourself:  "How I wish I had waited until later in the hunt.

You have the rest of the season to find out "WOTNR." You picked the spot you did because you think its the best spot to try first. Go with that. If you wait there three long days with nothing, then go take a look over.

My addiciton went away when I killed my biggest buck at 12:30 in the afternoon. I have learned to trust my instinces and stay put. Although when I'm not hunting it hits me hard and there is no stopping it.

My dad taught me......   by letting me go see WOTNR.    I'd wander off and inevitably he'd shoot something and I wouldn't.

Now, I bring a book.   If I can't concentrate on the hunt, I read a bit.  It works with a good book.

Animals seem to like to wander out when I read now....

Have you tried knitting??

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Yeah it's gonna be tough, I think
I'll bring my laptop and just keep
Looking at the trail cam pics to keep
Me motivated ; )  and a couple good books

Get a nintendo ds or play games on your phone. Books would be good too.

Most of all have confidence in your set up! I have 2 bulls out of a tree in 5.5 TOTAL hours sitting. If your getting good pics why do u wotnr?

I like to sleep nothing like waking up to a buck standing 20 yds away and your bow is still hanging on the tree actually I have gotten some good sleep in a tree stand

I don't suffer from WOTNR syndrome. I have finding out what's over the next ridge pretty well covered

I don't think wotnr is a bad thing, especially if you haven't seen anything there for a few days...

My version of WOTNR is "Just a few more yards and I'll be at the top"--only to find out that the "top" was just a rise that was hiding the top!

I have what is called 'WATBOTR' WHAT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT RAVINE. All my kills have always been at the bottom of steep ravines/river bottoms.

My dad cured me of that paticular affliction...   one elk at the bottom of a deep dark steep ass canyon, and 3 days to get him all packed out of the hole...    cured me in a hurry...  I never hurt so bad even after a football game, as I was when we were done... 

[Heredoggydoggy]

I've only found one cure for WOTNR and WATBOTR.  It's called "Old Age".  But don't count on it being a complete cure.
