One time when one of our older hunters hadn't come in to camp for lunch, we went out to check on him. He'd merely driven down to a stock tank to keep an eye out for either a little volunteer buck, or maybe a turkey.
Well, he hadn't seen the turkeys, but they'd found him. He was sound asleep in his car, with four or five turkeys on the hood and roof, and another twenty or thirty wandering around nearby.
I've gone out and sat on a hillside in the late afternoon to try and catch me a buck, and dozed off. Almost every time, I'd wake up and there would be Bambi, maybeso 75 or 100 yards out, posing prettily and all unknowing. (Pretty good system, actually, so long as you don't snore.)

my brother is very good at falling asleep while he's hunting. he's also very, very good at waking up at the right moment...
couple years ago we were hunting together. we found a spot to sit and watch during the midday hours, while waiting for prime time... after he'd been asleep for a good 30 minutes or so, a buck wandered into view, maybe 50 yards or so off... i tried to wake him up, but couldn't, at least without scaring the buck off... hell w/ him, i think, i'm gonna shoot. so i got all lined up, and just started the trigger squeeze, and notice some movement to my left. yup, he had just woken up, and was plugging his ears. i tripped the switch, and we still laugh about that to this day.
i'll never admit it to him, but i really was hoping he'd stay asleep until i hit the switch... would've loved to have waken him up by lighting a fire!

Cool pic. Definitely seems hokey to me. I’d say the guy behind the camera is much better at getting close to deer than most, but what is he doing down range of the sleeping hunter?
I took my 14-year-old son deer hunting for the first time last year. Kee-ripes man! That boy can snore. Who needs a grunt call?

haha! I can't imagine a scarier way to wake up. A rifle shot would give somedoy a heart attack.
I think I would almost pay for video of someone being woken up like that.
A couple of years ago, there was some short-lived series on TV (I can't remember the name of it), but it was like Candid Camera on steroids. They played jokes on people I couldn't believe. They also had videos from jokes from other countries. One of the videos was from some asian country (maybe Japan - I don't know). It showed a guy putting a canon in a room where a guy was sound asleep. It kind of looked like a hotel room, but couldn't be sure. They fired the canon and that guy looked like someone had just beat him. He flew out of the bed and landed on the floor and looked so disoriented, he couldn't hardly even stand. It was hilarious.

Since I can be kind of restless falling asleep when I while in a stand is a great plan. More often then not I wake up with deer around me. If I snored allot I am not sure what I would do.

I fell a sleep on my 4 wheeler while out caribou hunting and woke up in the middle of about thirty of them, thier noise is what woke me up.
I once had about 30 caribou surround me when I was carrying one of their cousins in my backpack. They were close enougn to poke them in the nose with my rifle.
Never figured out why they did that. However, previous experience has led me to believe that caribou don't always fear human scent.
