RE: Sleeping BEFORE a hunt
I remember my first real deer hunt. I didnt get to sleep at ALL! I layed in bed lookin at the little lights on the cealing that werent even on untill the alarm went off and my dad got up. Got a deer, but all the adrenaline had me so hyper and awake that there was no way i was going to sleep. Its easy to sleep now, just party hardy the night before and then your tired when you get home, get about 4 hours sleep, go huntin, then if you can, take a nap that afternoon, then do it all over. lol. As you can tell im a teen. lol.
Another thing that is wierd to me is people sleeping on stand. My uncle does this during turkey season when we get there an hour before time. When the birds start gobblin, he wakes up like nothing. Theres no way i could sleep in the woods.
