Deer Tech
While relaxing Sunday night, I decided to check out the Outdoor Channel to watch a hunting show or two.
On Bill Jordan's Realtree Outdoors, Bill offered a hunting tip. When planning on an early morning hunt, pack your backpack the night before.
Maybe I'm just really anal, but to me that seems like a "no-brainer".
I am not the most alert soul at 5:00 AM so I religiously pack my backpack the night before. Always! Because if I don't, I am sure to forget something really important. Like the morning I woke up a little late and in my rush to get to my blind, I forgot to pack my bow release. It is a little difficult to shoot a bow without the release.
I always pack the items in the exact reverse order of how I'll need them. That way, I'm not fumbling in the dark with a headlamp on it dimmest setting, trying to figure out where something is in the backpack.
But maybe all hunters aren't as anal as I am, are you? Do you carefully pack your backpack the night before an early morning hunt?

Cathy you are not alone. I usually have my pack all set a week before. As a matter of fact I sometimes never empty my pack, that is how bad I am.
Rick,
Whew, I am glad I'm not alone. I thought maybe I was just a little too anal for my own good.
Like you, I never really unpack my hunting backpack. That way, I always know where all my deer hunting stuff is.
