Tyler Carlson - Didn't mean to offend anyone. I guess I picture most traditional hunters as still hunting their way into a stalk and anything that would take away the experiance or focus just doesn't fit. I sat in a blind once and hated it too. Never will do it again. Not a big fan of tree stands either. I feel too confined and seperated from the game and my surroundings. To each their own though.

It probably wouldn't hurt to listen to music behind my house while hunting, because there is an Interstate Highway about 1/4 mile away and it's noisy all of the time.I could just see myself rockin out with AC/DC playing "Let There be Rock". I would be "duck walking" through the woods like little Angus............Oh never mind.  :jumper:    :jumper:

Ive thought about it several times but I wouldn't want to miss hearing a deer behind me or something. Noise is a lot times the first way I notice an animal in the leafy woods of long island.

Im starting to bring one for back country trips.  Its alot nicer falling a sleep listening to that instead of high winds or rain.  (just about any weather where your stuck in the tent)  While Im hunting there is just know way I could, just wouldnt feel right.

I never thought of using one in the tent at night...thats a good idea. As romantic as it sounds in print, wind, rain, and a flapping tent can make it hard to fall asleep. Also at the shoots...some of those Compton folks stay up later than I do! ;0)

I listen to books on tape while sitting in a blind or treestand all the time.  This past fall I shot 3 raccoons, a coyote and a 150 class whitetail while listening to my ipod.  None of them and numerous other deer ever reacted like they heard anything.

I don't listen to music when I'm out there.  I feel a need to be in tune with everything going on around me, even back at the tent.

I run from 3-5 miles, normally at least three days a week.  Then I'm rockin'!  Same goes for driving home from work.

I don't do it because I feel I would miss something.  Hearing sounds helps me to see more deer.  I NEED to be consumed with my surroundings on my hunts.  I am out for the adventure and connection with God that it brings.

Occasionally I'll take something to read while in the stand but I would never listen to anything but the sounds of nature around me. I only have two senses to aid me while hunting, hearing and seeing and my hearing seems to be my first alert.

I don't own an ipod and I'm not into modern music. I like to listen to Jim Bowman and Mark Bakers hunting songs on CD. I also like the oldies, Vaughn Monroe singing "Ghost Riders In The Sky" Also Johnny Cash's version. Of coarse I always sing along and that wouldn't work out too good while in a stand would it?       :biglaugh:

The lyrics in Ghost Riders are amazing............every word fits into the story.
I hunt on the ground, and 'listening' is usually the
first detecter for Mr. Piggie-so no ipod and no humming.

Never listened to music, but I've become addicted to ebooks and always carry my PDA with me....


I usually have 70 or 80 different books along.  I need to look into converting some of my hunting books.  Not sure how to do it without upsetting a copyright holder...

Try this, but I recommend listening before you hit the stand, rather than on it....

why stop at music? with the new Ipod/Cellphone/PDA from Apple, we finally can beat boredom by listening to music while playing yatzee and online poker, check emails and stock portfolio, get news, sports results and the weather channel, and textmessage our friends to tell them what a wonderful hunting experience we're having.  :biglaugh:  

Ok, seriously, nothing but the sounds of Nature and the serenity of the woods/mountains for me  :)

Interesting topic and I admit to being surprised that some folks listen to anything but nature sounds while hunting. I love music and have it playing in my office and shop most of the time but could not do that in the woods.

I've heard before seeing most of the game I've taken while hunting from a stand and would not want to risk a shot opportunity. Even with all senses operational I've had animals in very close range without any warning.

Also when I go hunting one of my goals is to shed as many modern encumberances as possible. I don't even like to hunt within ear shot of a road.

Alex, your music is wonderful but I don't listen to it while hunting.   :)

yep,
I don't even listen to Keith Jarrett while I am hunting! Like my birds squirrels and insects too much.
