Well, my smarty pants girl friend /video babe found it quite funny this past bear season to take a few snaps of me sleeping in the stand again. I have the fortunate ability to be able to sleep anyplace and with short notice. She thinks maybe something is wrong with me in my ability to just shut down and sleep on demand. I have told her countless times, it's because I have a clear conscience, no worries, no stress, no guilt. It's easy to sleep for me. I've been hit in the head with peanuts from her trying to wake me up, and she must have photo's now of me sleeping in the blind in a dozen places around the world. This was a stupid picture when I first saw it, but after the momentary embarrassment wore off I thought it had some value in two respects. First the comfort of the millennium stand, and then the absolute need for the safety harness. I'm about ready to need that harness if I lean another 1/2 inch! I'm thinking I need one of those dental chair head rests to keep my head upright. Guess I'll send off a memo to the tree stand manufactures to suggest this option for those of us with a clear conscience.
Yep, all the time, can't figure out why all the fuss over scent removal spray and the hysterical use of carbon lined clothing. It's not a recreational pursuit for me. I'm a Professional Hunter and I own an outfitting business in South Africa. Play the wind, don't fidget in the tree, ( or on the ground) and make good shots. It's never been an issue for me during 18 years as a PH in Two countries for 1000 big game animals between me and my hunters. I do wear Fleece camo by cabelas in the outfitter pattern frequently because it's warm and quiet for stalking. But in the tree I could wear a circus clown outfit including the big floppy red shoes and huge red afro and nothing is gonna see me up there. At least not until there is an arrow thru it.
