Shotgun is clean and Hunting box packed and ready. Didn't go through a pre-check last year and found one of my Decoys failed as I was setting up. Lesson learned. Found another decoy that failed during the pre-check...I have a replacement for that one. Better to find the issues now, then sitting in the field with no options.

I take all the batteries out on my mojo's at end of season, so don't have to worry about corrosion. Gun still needs cleaning, and dog needs a bath. Still have 1/2 case of shells that I bought 2 years ago. Birds haven't been that great the past 5 years, so not all that stoked about the season. And it's HOT!!!

I have a Master checklist for all the gear; chair, scissors, bags, Bowl, etc... Without it, almost guaranteed to forget something. I remove/disconnect the batteries after each hunt. After 8 years, the old decoy just gave up. I probably should check my chair...I have experienced chair failure in the past...nothing last forever.

my list is a MUST. Like Slimpickin points out. I will always forget something. I like a special stool which is higher than the usual style. It's much easier for me to stand up.
License tomorrow
trash bags game shears Ziplocks with a Sharpie bucket water Ice chest/ice CPAP machine Handi wipes koozees bird bag paper towels gun's shells oil rag "drinks" game transfer forms** stool Mojo's
what else?

good one for the afternoon hunts. Some side effects can be diarrhea, so maybe try a test run. I forgot Nitrile rubber gloves for breasting out birds.

Renew license, bring gun and ammo - or just use what I left at the ranch. And something to do when there are no birds.

I just bought a new mojo, make sure it fits into the stake. I had to take a file to the plastic insert to get it to slide into the top of the stake.
