Treestand thoughts

[Account Deleted]

If you are like me, you spend a lot of hours alone in the treestand. And if you are like me, you probably think up a lot of weird/profound things when you are alone with your thoughts. Like "why is it that a 10 ounce squirrel can sound like a 1800lb bull moose but that 250lb buck can slip in mouse fart quiet" and "is there a reason they haven't invented heated treestand seats yet? Or maybe they have them and I just don't know about them? Shit, I should look into that."

So what are some of your guys' thought gems?

Good topic for discussion! Murphy's law for me is deer will appear just when you want/need to adjust your position on the stand so as to keep you frozen in that uncomfortable stance a while longer.

A common thought train I have while wading, while waiting for fish to come put themselves on my stringer is, "what would I do with all that money if I won 360 million?

After taxes it would be maybe about $162 mill?

I would not take the lump sum.

OH wait, there was a fish.

So, divided by 30 years, would be $5.4 mill per year.

I would be 75 when I got my last payment.

Divided by 12 would be..

hmm, was that a hit?

would be 450,000 per month.

The first month I'd pay off the house and the remainder of the car loan, and divide the remainder into two accounts (one for each child) (for college).

THAT definitely was a fish.

Then the second month I'd buy some land.

The third month I'd hire a contractor, and consultant.

You get the idea.

Most of my thoughts I prob shouldn't say out loud and the others I shouldn't write down on a public forum!

When i dream of that its usually, not on what I'm going to do with it, but how to isolate myself for the first month. How and where to hide myself form all the people coming after it.

Why does my stomach grumble regardless of if I had breakfast or not?
Does every dude with a gun wait until I'm sitting in the stand to decide to sight it in??
When I sit and look for geese I see deer and when I sit for deer I see geese. WTF???
Do squirrels carry rabies and does this one RIGHT BEHIND MY NECK SEE MY CAROTID ARTERY AND HAVE FANGS?????
Is that gurgle going to be JUST air or is my air / shit separator offline again???

 

[DirtyMike]

I think man is it effing cold up here.

Why is it the raccoons always have to try and climb the tree I'm in. Why do farts always stink when u have waders or coveralls on? What's going to be added to the honey do list when I get home because I went hunting and didn't work on the list.

I spend most of my time in a boat seat pondering the worlds problems like... why in the hell don't 20 year old babes no longer hit on me or was I realy cool when I was in my early twenties or did I just think I was, or how in the hell can liberals be so ####ing stupid, or how am I gonna survive without taking the mark of the beast or how in the hell can liberals be SO F###ING STUPID.

Yes. I think about how I'm going to tell my wife about the divorce.

No, I'm totally kidding. but I think about how to tell her about the money. Honey, quit your job. Let's pack the bags and go someplace warm.

Then I think, "am I smart enough to not kill myself with all this money. I've always kinda wanted a helicopter.. and a bazooka..."

Yes, farts are of little value in waders. They don't warm you like you'd think, and somehow they smell worse.

And last night, I really swear that I thought this: "I didn't notice that purple rope in my garage tonight. I wonder if svn..."

 

[Sum1]

Am I the only one that enjoys the smell of his own farts??
