Missing...oh you meant before hunting...lol

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

After losing my hunting buddy and friend Carl last year to leukemia I always talk to him a bit since i know he is with me hunting.

My camp consists of my brother and I and sometimes another friend.  We always have a toast "to the hunt" before we start -- that's the night before, not the morning, we go out.

Eat a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a half gallon of coffee, and some cold pizza slices- smoke a big fat cigar- fuel up the truck after I get dressed, then head to the woods for some quiet time- just me and the Gameboy playing Call of Duty in the stand!

Get down out of stand about 900 am- nature call- about 50 feet away should be ok, huh?- (this is usually when I kill most of my animals, so I always hold my bow in my left hand while I'm taking care of business, if you know what I mean)then back to teh stand for another hour or two.

Then break out the limburger and liverwurst sandwiches with great big raw onion slices, a can of cola, bag of potato chips and get my drink and my snack on!

Then its a 45 minute nap....gotta get that in.  Then its up and at em - till about 30 minutes before sunset when I get down and call my buddy on the cell phone while I'm walking across the big field to my waiting pickup.

I love huntin'!!!  :bigsmyl:

For an extended trip (more than a couple days) I always bring a little bit of flour, salt & pepper, and a couple onions-just in case there is a chance for fresh liver and onions.
