Well, since I started hunting late in my life, the hunting ritual is in its infancy. This will be the second year at camp since it was built. So last year a buddy and I invited a good neighbor over with his uncle to play poker. They decided to also bring a friend "Jack Daniel's" along. Needless to say, the bottle and a case of beer was consumed (not to mention my pocket was lined with a little extra cash at the end

). My buddy & I were up at 4:30 AM sharp, my neighbor and his uncle appartenly didn't get up til 6 AM. Don't think they'll want to continue that ritual, unless we minus the drinking.
However, I did get my first buck ever, a 4 pointer. Nothing great to most, but it was my first, just like my first lay! LOL. Think I'm telling you all too much already.
Johnny, I think I may have to rub the nose of my little buck in hope's of getting his granddad! My start that ritual this year.
Good topic, looking forward to more replies.
PS, Good luck to all NY'ers this weekend, hope to hear on the two way radio, BBD!
