When You Doze Off in the Stand…and the Buck Parade Begins

When Trophy Bucks Do the Sneaking…

If you ever needed a reason not to take a snooze in the stand, here it is: a parade of nice bucks strolling up on a hunter who’s out cold, looking like they’re checking whether he’s still alive. And even though many people swear it’s AI, scenes like this really do happen. As we roll into the final weekend of Montana’s general rifle season, consider this your friendly reminder to keep your eyes peeled, your coffee strong, and your naps strictly pre and post-hunt. You never know what might walk in while you’re drooling on your jacket!

Good luck, hunters!
