Like Santa does, make a list and check it twice. Just don't forget to put a spare key somewhere other than the inside of your truck.

Just because your stand didn't pan out on opening weekend, don't think you need to change anything necessarily. Remember that changing weather, hunting pressure, food sources, and the onset of the rut can bring deer back to the areas you thought would have deer in the first place. If you know that you scouted well, stick with it.

Of course, if it was a half-assed scouting job, pull that stand and move on. ;)

Don't forget your field tag and a pen.

A bladder bag in you truck does you no good when your in a tree.

Thought I'd respond to this one.

How many other people worry about "springing a leak" from their stand? I for one have let 'er fly for years now, and have several P&Y'ers on the wall to show for it.

Study after study has shown human urine NOT to alert deer; I for one think "bladder bags" and the like are just a rip-off -- and I bet they'd be a big nuisance as well. I mean, I guess you'd have to lug the thing away from your hunting area and then you've got to clean the sucker after every use.

Just curious as to what others thought.

DON'T STOP SHOOTING

Just because the season started and we have broadheads screwed on, don't stop practicing your shooting during the season......keep the muscles fresh, confidence high and you'll also be alerted to any changes in your equipment.
