Have an idea on what it's gonna take for you to pull the trigger and stick with it.

I agree with not forgetting toilet paper.....Make sure your phone is on silent or at least vibrate...

16 oz Monster drinks at 5 am make you HAVE TO pee 15 minutes after first light. Baby wipes are a must if shower is not available. Cant take to many socks. Dont let negative people dictate your experience.

Be leary of what might be in your deer blind, take the lens caps off your scope, Definately toilet paper, count the ammo you're carrying(i use one of those ammo holders on butt stock), And NEVER let someone borrow your knife the night before.

I mentioned this in an earlier thread, but be sure to reset your cell phone alarm an hour earlier before going to bed Saturday night. Your phone will reset its clock for the switch back to Standard Time and otherwise wake you up an hour later in relation to the sun.

Dressing like a doe and covering yourself in doe-in-estrous urine isn't nearly as fun as it sounds.

Your friends are screwing with you when they suggest you roll around in cow manure to hide your scent.

When you’re about to shoot keep your eye(s) open, take a deep breath, squeeze the trigger and let the gun surprise you.

Also if you don't have TP handy, at the very least carry some soft cotton gloves.
Oh, and if you do, throw them in the bushes where nobody will find them, cause your buddy will return them to you thinking you dropped them near the deer blind.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Don't take things too seriously if you have young hunters along. Coach them and don't push them. They'll be with you next year if they enjoy this year.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Always take the first GOOD shot. If you wait, you will not get another chance.

Yep. Its happened to me once. Cant say I agree with not chambering a round until ready to shoot. Thats a lot of noise. Unless your shooting at 300+ yards or so.

Ever been to a nudie bar? Girls bathe in perfume.

Don't pass out to early, could wake up with a painted face or see pics of yourself later with sausage on your face. (Not deer sausage either)

One that's a must for me is a plastic, big mouth, reclosable bottle to pee in. I'm always thirsty so I drink a bunch.

Always check to make sure you are drinking from the correct bottle.

Twice. Once on a yote and once on a deer. When I get settled in I put a round in, unload before I get out.
