I like comfort it keeps me from moving around. Lets face it though, it ain't no recliner rocker anyway you slice it.

Comfort is sitting on the couch at home, I'm not going out of the way to make myself miserable but I think more often then not time will drive you more crazy than discomfort.

Comfort helps me stay more still and able to spend more hours on stand. I rarely sit less than 4 hours even early in the season so being comfortable is very important to me especially since my back is so screwed up. Buying a HuntComfort seat for my Alpha was the best money I ever spent.

Gun hunting I sit in my Summit Viper and it's so comfortable the all day sits are actually very easy.

I like comfort, plain & simple. I don't sleep on stand although there has been a few times I almost nodded out. If I'm comfortable, I can sit there all day and just dream away the day.

Sometimes it's unavoidable - especially when hunting after work. Better'n not hunting.

Both my Assault and Alpha have Hunt Comfort seats. I fidgetted too much with the original seats.

Want discomfort? Then always pick trees that lean towards the stand...With a little stub of a branch right between your shoulder blades.

I killed a doe from a smallish oak that leaned backwards this past Thursday. 300yds from my canoe...There was always critters to watch in the area so I was always entertained. And always comfortable....She dropped right where she stood. Even though I sat-up on hot sign (and white oak acorns dropping like rain) and had never before even really looked at that tree,it seemed more "harvest" than hunt....Had'er cut up and in the freezer by 10:30.

That's the worst! I hate it when that's the only option.

I think I live in the comfort zone that increases my odds that most. Being more comfy on stand keeps you out there longer. Like being dry and warm rather than sweaty and freezing.

Yes.

I hunt to enjoy myself, If I'm sleepy, I takes me a nap.

Like others have said, sometimes I can't avoid a little nap. With that said though, I missed my chance at the biggest buck I have ever had within bow range because I closed my eyes for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure he walked right under my tree. At least a 140" deer. It's probably not even something I should admit to.
