RC, that's a hoot!

Thing is that truth is always stranger than fiction so just go with the truth!

I won't say much other'n that, If I didn't laugh at my own silly antics, I'd miss a lot of humor!

I have also been known to snooze in a turkey blind. The sun comes up and hits the back of the blind, my back begins to warm, the turkeys stop gobbling, and ...zzzzz   :rolleyes:

I was thinking it would be a snake story.
Sleeping, eh? AND fessing up to it!
At least you didn't wake yourself up with a big SNORK.

I have been known to do that in my treelounge on more than one occasion. So far the worst example was waking up and trying to reach over to turn the lamp on next to the bed.....couldn't quite reach it. If I recall it was around 10:15 when I woke up, no idea when I dozed off but my wife told me that there was no use going back there as no doubt my snoring would have scared every animal within a mile!

You are not the first guy to fall asleep in a pop up. One of my favorite (and most frequent) places for a nap. Pop up blinds are especially good for an early morning nap during spring turkey season.

Wait until You do that 18' up in a tree stand.

You get a break that first few seconds when Your trying to wake up and it pitch black out. Then You realize what You've done and thank Your lucky stars You don't move around a whole lot when You sleep.

...And five minutes before your wife called, the biggest deer you've never seen walked right past broadside at 15 yards, turned to look in the opposite direction and put his near leg forward to fully expose the vitals...

If it had been me, all the critters would have gone home and told scary stories to their kids about the awful noises coming from behind that strange bush thing. Probably would have scared a few hunters with my snoring too!!

Woke up once to find a young doe staring at me from about 5 yards away. I must've been snoring.

I once had a wood pecker wake me from a good sleep while I was 15' in my Summit Bushmaster, hard to believe he wanted the same tree I was in though.  ;)
