When you’re out hunting, staying aware of your surroundings is just as important as your aim—because the woods don’t come with a pause button. Sure, a mid-afternoon nap in a field might sound like a great way to recharge, but imagine waking up to a curious cub sniffing you. Cute? Maybe. Terrifying? Absolutely. Because where there’s a cub, mama bear is likely not far behind—and she’s not a fan of unexpected visitors. So whether you’re glassing for elk or grabbing a quick snooze, keep your eyes (and ears) open. After all, it’s hard to play dead when you’re still snoring!
