Afraid to leave it in the truck where I have to park. I've had my truck broken into before.

Probably SOP...but when I hunted lock-ons.....I never let my haul line/bow touch the ground. I always tied it so it would be at eye level.

It's funny you should mention that Jeff. I always haul my pull ropeup, but I had a buddy kill a 160's buck and he was pulling on the haul line with his mouth. I guess it was his time to Go!! I've had deer (No Big Bucks) play and flip my tree steps with their nose. Funny!!

My biggest Pet Peeve is scent control and I go to all lengths to neutralize my scent as much as possible. I also hunt the wind and try to never be sloppy.

I'm extremely anal about my equipment; making sure its in excellent working condition. I strip my bows down completely twice a year to clean and lube everything. I'm constantly making sure all the screws and bolts are tight. I wax the string after everytime I shoot. I spin my arrows probably once a month.

I feel OCD now. [&:]

I pick up deer droppings and bring them to my stand area on that days hunt. *Medical gloves on*
I also keep some frozen for when needed.

I can't believe you wear gloves, Sissy!!!

I put my wallet in a zip lock bag for scent control. Some say thats going too far.
I must ask, Are you a loyal Gum-O-Flage customer??
