Rules for woodloafing

I love to hike over to the rock bluff over look on the mountain and sit for awhile. I have often see deer on the ledge about 70 yards down, but never thought of shooting one. Too much of a problem getting them out. More often than not I end up leaned back on my back pack and fast asleep. Following a bologna sam'ich ofcourse.

I really enjoy being in the woods in the fall. This year has been less enjoyable, chiggers have been hell! I keep going back though. I can't wait for deer season to be over so I can go woodsloafing again.
 
When I was younger I could, and often would, just lay down anywhere in the woods that was semi-dry and take the longest and deepest naps. I used to go camping for 3 and 4 days at a time with a .22 rifle, a machete, a box of matches, a piece of tarp and a surplus canteen (the kind with the cup). I slept rolled up in the tarp like a cocoon. Shot, cooked and ate small game and nuts and berries and such. It was wonderful. I truly miss those carefree days.

That sounds like a lot of fun.
Wish I knew enough to be able to do the small game cleaning and stuff.

Wish I had some free land to go on, even if it just meant being a few hundred yards from my home. Like 80 - 100+ acres
 
My favorite thing is when I hunt through the fog layer and pop out above the clouds. That view, with the peaks looking like islands, always makes me stop and enjoy it for a bit.

And I do enjoy a nice nap at the end of a long hike before I start back to camp. Not that a justification is needed, but I like to pretend I am just "letting the woods settle" for when I start to back track...
 
Went yesterday with a S&W 44 special. Saw a lot of turkeys. Bugs were still bad in the afternoon. Why is it when I use a semiauto that I always worry about having the right caliber and enough ammo but a revolver with six is enough?

I dont have much in the way of woods in these here parts but lots of wide open space.

I like to take along the .270 for zapping yotes but i have been known to park my truck and spend the whole afternoon just wandering around up in the coulees not really doing anything.
