Up a half hour before I plan to leave the house, wash face, bathroom duties, light cereal snack, check my checklist, walk outside to check the stars and temperatures, stretch, gather my gear, secure the house and drive 45 minutes to my hunting grounds.

Now, that simple word I used before ' stretch' . Might seem dumb, but I lay on the family room floor while watching the Weather Channel and I stretch just like you' d do back in your high school gym classes or if you ever played sports. I find it necessary to get in some good stretching especially if you are hunting all day. I think it really helps relax the muscles and makes it very easy to be on stand all day.
