I enjoy seeing your beautiful pics of the woods. Be honest, how many of you take a nap?

Oh definitely.

I don’t unless I’m going a long sit.

I normally try to hold off till mid day, there is no better feeling than a cold day and laying in the full sun on the side of ridge with a hat over your eyes and catching a 15min Power Nap.

That's what I'm talking about! So, I take it you're in a shooting house or can you nap in one of the stands hanging off the side of a tree?

So what is a long sit? Are we talking an hour or two or longer? Also, I take it you don't drink or eat a lot prior to hunting to avoid mother nature screwing up your hunt.

In the stand at 6:00-6:15. Hunt until 10-11 or later.

At my lease I typically get down by 10 or so but during the rut I will pull some all day sits. 11-1 I can get in a 10-15 nap in my saddle or climber.
When I was a teenager I once woke up at about 2:30 to something and looked over my shoulder and saw a 125in buck about to walk through a wall of thicket.
I quickly assessed the situation and texas heart shot it,, not one of my proudest moments lol.

Usually only if I drove up that morning, and typically this time of year. I'll lock in closer to the rut.

I was drawn for a refuge muzzleloader hunt years ago. It was a one day hunt and I’d made the long drive up that morning. I found a good funnel and climbed up in my Loggy Bayou. After a while, I couldn’t stay awake. I climbed down and went to sleep at the base of the tree. I could hear something walking, but it took forever for me to open my eyes. There’s a doe @ 10 yards. I tried to roll up to a sitting position and shoot. Didn’t work.

As a kid/teenager before having the entire internet in my hand and much shittier cell service I probably took a nap every morning hunt. I once walked out and saw fresh deer tracks, in my footprints, 20 yards behind the stand.

I hunt a box stand. I do my best not to doze off. Sometimes you get a 5 sec window to shoot. But if I had a long night it happens. Usually 15 min at most.
