Sat under a tree, dog curled up at the side of me, rifle across my legs & giving it increasingly longer blinks. Next thing I feel the dog jump up, open my eyes to see a nice roe buck turn look at me and disappear into the woods at only 40 yards. The look on the dogs face said it all, just a good job the dog couldn't speak or I'd have got a right slagging off

I've always thought high seats should be fitted with seat belts for just this reason.

I thought that was what we all did but just called it stalking, happens with alarming regularity, especially on a warm evening with then sun on your face, you have to wonder how many deer tiptoe past you whispering to their mates to keep quiet while you're out for the count though!

never dosed off stalking yet, but at fox dens different story. I set up very snug in my german army sniper bag for an all nighter some 2000ft up in the shelter of some big rocks on the crown of a hill , good panoramic view all round. strategically placed rifle , semi auto , lamp , flask and piece and settled down to wait. Woke with a start in 2" of snow to the vicky screaming at me , made a grab for the gun to discover i had slide some 30yrs down the forward face of the slope into full view . I must have looked like a large demented caterpillar as i tried to wriggle back up to the weaponry but ended up further and further away.It always amazes me that foxes tend to hang around in these situations just long enough to convince you that it might be worth the effort of struggling on to maybe get a shot.

Do it regular! Busy life with 3 kids, full time job and full time culling. Just lucky I don't sleepwalk!
Often have a 'micro snooze' and look up to see deer have appeared! Probably a good way to remain stealthy up the seat though as long as you don't snore or dribble too much!
Which reminds me, I'm up in less than 5 hours to be in a seat for 04:55 and should probably get some sleep!

I have to say one of my moments, i climbed up on a rock face for a great position to glass an area i had a little snooze purched over a large drop i had a moment of thinking i had been asleep for ages i lifted my head to see a hind looking at me before slinking off into the shrubery.
