I can think of 2. One is I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.[8D]And the other is just like you. After a few hours of sitting on stand without seeing anything, I start to lose focus.

Stand placement period!!!! I'm lucky If I see 2, maybe 3 mature bucks a year so when I do see them I have to be In the right spot. Too many times I've had them at 25 yards, that's out of my recurve range. A better hunter I need to be on finding decent stand tree's and the last few years I've gotten much better but there's still room for Improvement.

I have to get up at 2:50 am to make it out in time at the place I hunt. I have a hard time going to bed by 2am, much less waking up around then. [&o]
I hate to go pee in the woods so at some point I have to leave the woodsand find an actual bathroom. (hey you asked)
I won't shoot out past 30 yards. I've let some monster bucks go by at 40 yards. (one nearly 200") I'm not sure it's something I want to 'fix'. To me bowhunting is about getting within 30 yards.

I still struggle with staying still on stand.
Also shooting that damn bow with a short D/L in crunch time.
When I am practicing I have the string touching my nose but when
its time for the kill shot this is not happening. I believe this is due to
that short D/L and I am strecthing out a bit.

Staying on stand later in the mornings. Honestly.....I've had deer come in later and I know they do. But it's so random.....I have a hard time making myself stay.
One thing that perpetuated this was knowing I had SO MUCH time to hunt this year. Next year.....I see it going back to "normal".....and I probably won't be so ready to leave at 9:30.....knowing I can't hunt again for 4-5 days.
