After getting up at 2:00AM and driving 2+ hours, changing into hunting clothes (In the car) and finally getting into my stand I am usually ready for a nice nap, but I'm terrified to sleep because I'm afraid of falling. I guess I shouldn't be after reading about all you guys/gals napping!

Wow! I'm assuming you are driving from Brooklyn to your hunting spot.....WAY TO GO! Have you considered a camp trailer you set up on or near your hunting area? Is that feasible?

I havea small camo bible with excerpts from outdoors writers. It is small and fits nicely in my pack. Although while reading the other day I was contemplating a verse and hadn't looked up in awhile and when I did there was momma and two fawns right on top of me. I couldn't mve if I wanted to! Glad it wasn't big moe!

I fall asleep alomost everytime I hunt. I hunt from the ground without a blind so i get there early and enjoy a nice peaceful nap on the ground, usually i wake up every 10 or 20 minutes and look around. except for the other day I fell asleep and was out for a while I guess because I woke up to a strange snort and I saw 20 cows staring at me. I think they thought I was dead because when I set up and grabbed my bow they turned around and scattered. Luckily the guy who owns them can pet everyone of them or I could have been in trouble.

I Thank about all the crazy thingsI did all summer long! haha

I wonder if Atlas is real......or simply a computer program initiated by Justin to randomly pixx off board members every 150 posts.

What number are we on??????

I think, what are all my teammates doing, I'm I screwing up my kids because I am out hunting, I wonder what my wife is doing, holy cow i have a lot of projects at work, I wonder what they're doing today, I hope my mom stays sane for a long time(diagnosed with alzheimer's disease at 58) my daughter really loves her, what will my Step Dad do, Kinda hot out here, where the hell are the deer, why am i having a coversation with myself, I do not think I am right, I can not stop talking to myself, I think I have to pee, yep I have to pee, damn it!!, where is that squirrel that ate my seat cushion, I am going to put an arrow threw him!!

That is it, gets really bad on all day hunts, this was just the first 2 mins in the stand

I close my eyes and try to listen for anything in the leaves, the problem is that when I do that I hear everything, squirrels, birds, 'dillers, everything except deer

sit and think how good i have it and if i dont have it good, how much worse it could actually be. and play out how that big bucks gonna walk into my shooting lane, and reherse my story of how i got one or how i didnt.

Mostly think. I pray some and enjoy God's creation. I tried handheld games three years back and a big buck came in and I got anxious trying to put the game away and spooked the buck. STUPID!!!!!!
