Too many modern people have way 
too many distractions to pay attention 
to a single thing. 
A good many people that I know of 
that go deer hunting all sit in their 
blinds and read or play video games 
or otherwise diddle with their phones, 
or take naps or guzzle beer, etc. 
then they wonder why they didn't 
see any activity. 
I know of some that "hike " , but it's 
what used to be called jogging. 
They completely miss any enjoyment 
of the scenery, but instead concentrate 
on milage covered in X amount of time. 
It's a different world today
