RE: I am so psyched, Im losing sleep!
They key is to relax and enjoy. This will be my 27th deer season and I have learned not to get overly excited or expect too much. The grunt calling and antler rattling has really never worked for me. I just try to be as observant as possible and try to identify every sound I hear. Losing sleep won't help one be observant if you are dosing off on your stand. Go to bed early the night before so you are wide awake while on your stand. The drinking and card playing til the wee hours of the night won't help ones hunting either! In the last 19 seasons I have failed to bring a deer home only once, so I think it at least works for me.
