What do you guys do to pass time these first couple hours when the odds are low of deer coming to field? I burn my cell battery pretty hard texting, IDO and Facebooking.

The first two hours…

Have a handheld ya thee game that I’ve turned the sound off on and wrapped in camo duct tape. Had it since before I joined the cell phone world. Takes very little movement to play and helps pass the time.
My current high score is 615.

Those battery packs that charge your cell phone are awesome. Well worth the $20. Then you can text like a demon.
I have the Amazon Kindle app, so I can read books, magazines, etc. Wish I knew of some games that were quiet, didn’t require a lot of movement, and were fun.

Haha.. We sound like a bunch of dorks. But yeah thats what I do… text, check facebook, love instagram (tfilio) if you are on there, and take pictures. Thats what I do to pass time.

X2…I can read all day and only use 10-20% of my iPhone battery.
September 24, 2014 at 2:23 pm #1457707I finally purchased a cell phone battery backup for that same reason.
Gives me over 100% battery recharge….text on!!September 24, 2014 at 2:46 pm #1457720I second a little handheld Yahtzee. Maybe a some IDO, FB and texting every now and then. Last week when Pat was filming me, I thought I would be nice and see if he wanted to play a friendly handheld Yahtzee tournament. His expressionless stare bore through me, I guess he’s a little more hardcore…..It was actually a trick because I just dinged 4 Yahtzees in a game and took the high score. He wouldn’t walk into my trap.

If my hunting buddy leaves his phone in the truck, I’ll borrow it and bookmark bad porn websites for his wife to find. Or sometimes I just play games like yahtzee, solitaire, or candy crush.
