Look for deer?
Please don't take this as an insult but I'm not sure why anyone would need to be entertained...is not nature enough?
+1, with a little nature watching while scanning with the bins. Can't understand anyone not listening for what's going on, my ears normally tell me when the deer are about before I see them. Foxes, badgers, pheasants, goldfinches, stoats, weasels, bramblings, woodpeckers, owls etc etc. all there to be observed and enjoyed.
Tits
So many different species each quite distinct from the other. I try to count as many different tit species as I can.
in a high seat i enjoy watching the scenery and wildlife around me...i need nothing else.....if i get tired then its time to go home as falling asleep with a loaded rifle in hand is not a good idea especially up a high seat..
nice to see your on the mend now and enjoying life WS, you are correct in what you say..if i get worried about falling to sleep then i do go home i NEVER use aids to help me stay awake! and i enjoy life to the full..having this fear of hurting someone or myself is very healthy and its kept people around me and myself safe for years whether stalking or at work.....just the other week a driver for the firm ime working for at the moment had a mishap (or should that be catnap!!) straight over a roundabout (big type with soil etc!!) across grass,through garden..and at 0330 44 tonnes went into a house at 50mph!! no one killed and so ime sure no one wants me or anyone else to be in charge of a loaded rifle or truck etc when tired and using something to keep themselves awake!!Trust me it happens all too often all over the world .So if you all getting that worried about such things happening stay at home, enjoy your comforts there ,if not get out and live a little you just might enjoy life far more than you do .
I learned after laying in hospital for two and a half years with Cancer and its problems to live life as if it is your last day, you only get one shot at this ,so forget all the what ifs and the mights and maybes and live thats what your here for is it not .
That doesn't mean be reckless.
Like everyone else on here Ive seen all sorts from Owls landing in the barrel of the rifle and all the usual suspects even a Roe buck cleaning velvet in the A frame of the legs of the high seat .
Using something to keep your mind alert helps when your about yourself you see far more ,
