For those with opener tomorrow.....
 
what is your morning routine and time-table for being in stand/blind and ready to hunt?

- breakfast, showered, dressed packed and ready to drive out to sight by 4:15am
- parked, , dressing, getting gear ready @ 4:50am.
-At tree location by 5:20am (short walk)
- up in tree set-up in climber and ready to roll by 5:51am (one hour prior to sun-up).

Well, since we had a tropical storm go through my woods yesterday and my stand is on the edge of a creek, my routine has been changed. I had everthing set up where I was going to get in my stand 30-45 minutes before daylight, but now, things have changed.

- Get up at 4:15 am
- Arrive at site at 4:45 am
- At tree location at 5:00 am (short walk also)
- If I am able to get to the stand, then I hunt, if not, I will have to re-locate to my other spot. (I will have to bring my other climber with me, in case I have to re-locate to my spot on higher ground.)
- If I must re-locate, then I arrive at other site at 5:20 am
- Set-up climber and ready to go at 5:40 am, roughly 30 minutes to sun-up.

Now that I have broken it down like that, I might be getting in the woods ealier, just in case.

Red Lion. About the same schedule. I plan to be in the treestand an hour and half before shooting time to avoid bumping anything in the setup I will be hunting in. Good luck!

You know bubba a lot of times when things don't go as planned tend to be the same day a hunter does well. I've heard so many stories like that where the last minutechange in the stand or circumstance led to a good kill on a hunt.Same with fishing...some of the biggest fish I've caught have been a messed up cast.

Pretty much the same for me.... We had a tropical storm come right over us so that may have the deer moving a lil bit...

4-fall back asleep until coffee starts to perk
5-get up and get dressed
6-pour coffee and get my crawl (sweet role) for brekfast
7-get on vehicle and drive the 10 miles to my hunting spot
8-start the hike along the ridge
