i goto the treestand so i dont have to think. my mind is pretty empty when im in the stand...its focused on hunting. i leave life's baggage at the truck. thats one of the reasons i enjoy hunting and fishing...its my way out. not that i usually have anything major on my mind...i just like to escape daily life and forget it all for a while.

ive tried sitting there and pondering about life and thinking about everything going on in my life...tried playing around with the cell phone....tried reading...i didnt like any of it. still take the cell phone just for emergency reasons...and it is my clock. other than that, im either focused on the hunt or i might be catching a little nap...
