    Snooze alarm once, coffee, dump, shower, granola/cereal, run to car in base layer (or walk depending on temp), drive to hunting shack while cranking Fred Bear by Ted Nugent, dress like a tree, check wind, and hoof it back to my stand.

    This thread is great because the morning rush we are all describing in order to get to the woods would seem stressful to those who don't understand what hunting is but really it's just the opposite.....maybe morning bliss?!?!?!

    Wake, dump, shower, double check gear, dump, load vehicle and head out. I have been known to possibly pinch another loaf once we arrive. I never have time to eat. I'd rather scarf down a POP tart in the car then get up even earlier. I hate mornings.

    I visualize the following mornings hunt as I fall asleep. My alarm (right now) is set for 0330. When the alarm sounds, I turn it off and go back to bed.

    Later that day, I hear about all of the bucks killed that morning, and, kick myself in the butt. This is my normal ritual.

    NON-NORMAL ritual- I wake up to my alarm at 0330. I'm out of bed, showered and on my way to get coffee by 0415. Depending where I am hunting, in stand shortly there after.

    I pack my vehicle the night before, otherwise, I would never get up; everything ready to go.
