Default Does this happen to you?

Seems like every time I'm going hunting (Especially opening day)I just can't sleep. It makes me crazy because I have to get up 2:30AM get out of the apartment by 3:15AM and drive approx. 2.5 hours. By that time I'm TIRED!
That'smy problem tonight. It's now 1:00AM and I've been up since 10:00PM. I can't lay in bed awake anymore.At least I got a2 hour nap before that so I guess I shouldn't complain. Does this happen to any of you?

You need to quit driving so far. Doesn't Central Park have any deer? Give up all of the polite people in the city and move out here with us rednecks.[]On second thought stay where you are.

A little on opening day but for the most part I sleep well and I only drive 20 miutes to the 400 acres I hunt. Country life is good.

Downtime in the stand.. I like that. I'm gonna use it next time I take a nice long nap in stand. I'm gonna call it downtime.I gots to know Cougar how do you know when downtime is coming cause I have been known to nap right smack during primetime. I can always sleep on stand...
