Although I didn't think I could narrow it down to one (and I didn't)....I read them again....and like this one, best.

Something about climbing a stand at 5AM and the anticipation..

I absolutely love this. From the second I get in my stand and dressed......until daylight......I cherish those times. Whether I'm napping......thinking.....or having a good talk.....It's these moments that I love the most.

Just sitting here thinking about it....I wonder why I don't do this out of season. I guess that would take the "special" out of it, though.

Great thread....lots of good things on that list.
