Do you take a nap while turkey hunting?

[PotashRLS]

Just curious as to how many take a nap while out turkey hunting. I have in the past and find it very relaxing. How about you???

Wish I could Tracy, but my luck I would wake up with a water moccasin in my lap.:eek::o:eek: Try to stay as alert as possible.

Never have napped while in the turkey woods but there have been a few afternoons during a long day when I could have. I've been told I snore so I don't think that would mix well with calling birds into range. :D I have taken a break to catch a nap at our camp between a morning and afternoon hunt though.

I have done it both deer and turkey hunting. I don't try to, but sometimes it just happens, especially turkey hunting. I'll be there leaning against a big oak tree, with the sun beaming down and i'll be out! LOL, like I said, I try not to let it happen though.

Imagine if you fell asleep while turkey hunting....and then woke up to a super loud gobble a few feet away...i would probably crap myself...

to answer the question, no i have not taken a nap while turkey hunting - i am usually so involved with whats going on around me that i can't just fall asleep...i probably could though, if it was a real slow morning and we werent running and gunning. I bet it would be pretty easy to slip away to lala land...

two years ago I fell asleep while calling in a bird. I heard the bird gobble several times then nothing for a long while... next thing you know I was waking up... I called again and heard nothing so decided to move to a field. While calling as I was moving, he gobbled again not far from where I wanted to set up... I ended up shooting that bird but also think he had to of walked right past me while I was snoozing. It was late season and I must of been worn out. :D

Do it quite often. I call it "sleep hunting". :D It actually has worked a few times for me. Call.......nod off. Call.......nod off. It's easier to sit still when you're sleeping. :rolleyes: Only thing ya gotta remember is that when you're awakened by a close gobble....don't snap your head up. ;)

Did that yesterday afternoon in my double bull 360 and was awakened by a clucking hen,

I find it works well for me too. A couple times I have been working a reluctant gobbler. Quit calling, take a nap for 45 mins to an hour and the next call I make, they are close and come right in. Napping prevents me from calling too much and that is a good thing many times.
