Wonder what came by???
« on: October 12, 2011, 10:34:00 AM »
I went hunting yesterday evening in a pop up blind on a water oak. I killed a deer earlier this year with my Hill bow there in a misty rain. It was sprinkling on and off yesterday so I decided to go sit the blind again and keep dry. I settled in and noticed two new rubs and a paw mark on around the edge.Looking good.....The light sprinkles are dropping on the top of the blind....

    I feel something like a bug maybe in my pocket and grab at it and realize its my cell phone vibrating. I open it up and my Wife has sent me a text....You coming Home..are you OK?
  I look at the time and its...9.00 pm. I been snoozing.RC

Must have a clear conscience! (Or be hunting too much, and we KNOW that can't happen.)

At least you should be better rested for tonight's outing!

The main reason I started wearing a harness, can't stay awake in a tree stand. Could stay on the ground but once fell off a five gallon pail while dreaming of big bucks.

RC,

You must not use  a 3-legged stool in your blind.  I've used one several times and ended up falling asleep and falling to the ground.  What a rude awakening that was!  :(   :)

I use a reguler coleman camping chair. I have an ameristpe brickhouse that I`ve left in a small branch since Turkey season. I sprayed the top of it with water reppelent and it has not faded very much and does not leak. since it has been there so long critters have taken it as part of the swamp.First time I sat in it when I killed the doe a few weeks ago I had two groups of turkeys come by feeding on water oak acorns. One hen I could have reached out the blind and grabbed by the neck. I`ve seen two longbeards and 6 jakes as well as about 15-20 hens.3 deer and killed one of those. The huge water oak has really just started to turn loose and will drop acorns till December probably.Turkeys will be there in the spring as well as a Mohawk and some Simmons Interceptors...RC

I guess that's why we use a harness in a tree stand.  It's pretty easy to fall asleep in a ground blind if the action is slow, and you get warm.  Having a cell phone is a good idea for hunters.

Also would have been me sleeping as well. Blinds get too comfy for me. I've probably missed all the big ones while I was sleeping.
