Falling Asleep in the Stand????
Ok. So I've been hunting for about 4 years now and I always have a problem with falling asleep in the stand. To me it the best place to be in this world. It's just so peaceful....TOO PEACEFUL!!!! So.... I always fall asleep! I've tried reading, playing games, singing songs, texting.... etc. Still doesn't work. With that I'm usually in the stand for only 3 hours or so. So anyone have any ideas for me???? HELP!!!!

I have never been in a stand, but I think I could be the same way. It is so relaxing for me to be in the woods, I would probably be asleep or so excited to see a deer I would be WIDE awake

Keep a few small game heads on some of your arrows and shoot some squirrels. I use to do that with my bow to help me stay awake. There seems to always be a squirrel around to shoot.

Stand up! if you can't stay awake try not sitting the whole time? whenever I'm getting sleepy I just stand up for a while... if you are about to pass out standing up you are doing something wrong and need to see a doctor
