:lol: :lol: :lol:


Ive nodded off up a tree in my Summit Aluminum Viper. That thing is so comfy, safe, and stable....its easy to do.

I remember well one particular hunt that happened during the "learning how to even see a deer" phase. I sat ground hunting next to a huge sycamore along a creek. The longer I sat, the more weary and tired I became. Finally I just curled up on the ground and within minutes fell asleep. I woke up almost 2 hours later. After I regained my wits, I started thinking and got disgusted at myself and the situation of rarely seeing deer. I finally asked myself just what the heck I was doing out in the deer woods sleeping. If that was allthe more confident I was, why in heck bed down by a creek in the cold.....I had a warm bed at home. So I got up and left for home....and I didnt even get sleepy. Lol.
Since then, (20+ years ago) Ive nooded off a few seconds at a time unintentionally, but never fell fast asleep again while deer hunting. Heck at a minimum Id go back to the truck where its warm and comfy first...lol!
However I HAVE fell asleep in my Double Bull waiting on turkeys. I was hoping like heck the gobble would wake me up....lol!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Good 'Naps" are part of hunting. I can now tell my hunting partner he's been doing it all wrong by staying awake ALL these years, lol.

It's tradition, Bill. If you never nodded off...even for a few minutes...you didn't get up early enough.

Kirk agreed!! We all get up plenty early, family members look at us like we are nuts. Hmm maybe we are all a little nuts in a good way!!
