    I know everyone has there own morning ritual before heading out for a morning hunt, whats yours? I wake up at 3:30 descent, pack my bag, double check everything, load my truck and leave for 4:30. Get there for 5 and boom ready and waiting at 5:30.

    I like to hit the snooze button a few to many times then see how fast I can get ready.

    I dont have much of a ritual....

    However my girlfriend does... Every morning hunt when I am rolling out of bed she tries to make me late by trying to get a round of action in... She never wins :) I always tell her "Its bow season... Wait till gun season!"

    Wake up, coffee, light snack, bathroom, drive to farm, dress, scent away, figure wind direction, pick stand location, place summit to tree and climb, enjoy a day on stand. Life is good!:ninja:

    Most of the season:
    Wake up, dump, breakfast, shower, drive, load up with all my gear, walk to tree and climb.

    Opener:
    Wake up, dump, breakfast, dump, shower, dump, drive, dump in the parking lot of the WMA, load up with gear and walk-in. I get a little excited on opener.

    Wake up, eat some grub, try and force the biggest DUMP possible, load the truck up, crank some good ol' country. Get to the property, think,"do I need to take a DUMP again?"
