Pre-hunt traditions

[DynamicDennis]

What is your tried and true pre-hunt tradition?? My dad and hunting buddies started a thimble of Jagermeister before hitting the woods. Before I get chastised for drinking before hitting the woods, we are talking about less than a swallow. Takes the toothpaste taste out of your mouth before hitting the woods. Really hate the stuff, but has become a tradition over the last 15 years. Don't feel right without it.

Would a cup of coffee and a trip to the head, prior to the morning hunt count?

Counts for me

No pre-hunt tradition for me. But when the hunt is thru, this Bud's for you

You brush your teeth before the morning hunt? We clean ours with coffee!

Coffee gets the licorice taste out of your mouth after the jager. Then its time to head to the head, hopefully.

I always put on red color boxer shorts before a hunt, hope to see red on ground later!

Urinate on the remnants of the previous night's campfire, spreading my stink vapor through the trees on the cool crisp air to assert my dominion over nature and all other men who tread through it.

Hunt hard during the last 2 weeks in October, always pays off!

I better go #2 before leaving camp or else the morning hunt will involve a sad set of circumstances.

Check wind direction... select stand location and move to it accordingly

We usually take a hit of acid and rail a couple of lines and are good to go, makes the hunting outstanding when all the animals are talking

Check weather channel, or now, weather app. Coffee, Little Debbie, Hostess Twinkie, apple-turn-over (whatever-something sweet and not good for you), four shells, no more no less (useless to take more, bad luck to take one).

If it's late in the season, and I'm skunked, I pull out an old green heavy flannel shirt (that I've killed half-a-dozen deer wearing) and wear it until I kill a deer. This is an absolute last resort, as I do not like to abuse traditions and good luck charms. I have some superstitions but I don't want to confuse them with pre-hunt rituals and traditions. To each his own.

It’s a cup of coffee on the way to the lease, then a trip to the bushes by the truck for me, every time..

Before the bullet goes in my gun I shake it next to my ear to make sure I hear powder. My dad used to do that and I watched him do it every time he loaded his gun. Reckon I do it out of habit. Never had a bullet that I didn’t hear powder. Lol. But I’ll continue to do it because he does/did.
