I'm usually thinking "Please God, don't let there be a raccoon in this tree."

I'm thinking, every stinkin' sound I hear is a monster buck! I'm not kidding either. After the sun comes up, I'm okay. But while it's still dark, Ihave a huge lump in my throat, buck fever like you wouldn't believe,and every sound I hear is a monster buck!
Mee too, i only wish that it was a big bruiser.

Place my harness in a way where I can't fall and shut my eye's.I never go to sleep,but closing my eye's and watching and listening to the woods wake up is definitely one of my favorite things to do!Quite honestly I try not to think of anything but being there.Thoughts of an awesome breakfast come to mind,when my stomach starts to grumble.
Like many of you my life is so busy that when I am in the woods I just want to soak in all the peacefulness the woods has to offer!

I'm usually thinking how cool it will be when my children are old enough to enjoy this with me. I also wonder if my buddy made it to his tree alright? Is that monster going to show up today? What was that noise? Did I lock my keys in the truck? Enough, stop thinking and enjoy the sunrise.

I make sure everything is just right and then close my eyes and listen to all the mysterious sounds. If I took a nap I probably wouldn't wake up on time.

I'm usually thinking any number of things. I wish I could be more profound but it's usually stuff like:

......."Man I hope my face doesn't look like an Owl snack".[:-]

......."How in the world am I sweating again?!"

......."I DO have my boots on the right feet don't I? (Don't ask)

......."Ok how many other hunters / trespassers can I count before first light. Sort of like that old "Punch Buggy" game but I don't get to hit them.

......."I really need to find a better headnet"

......."Lets see, my treestand is rated to 300lbs, I'm 265, my bow is about 6lbs loaded, boots are another 3-4, pack has to be at least 8........carry the one. Yep the harness is secure" []

......."Why doesn't someone make a rangefinder with a colored reticle?"

......."A bow hook would have been way to easy......I'd much rather stick the bottom cam in my boot for 5hrs."

......."On the drive over why didn't I change the radio station off "Don't Worry be Happy" and why can't I STOP WHISTLING IT!? "[:@]


you know, stuff like that. LOL
