On opening day of hunting season, I usually have not slept most of the night. Somehow, the dogs know the exact date of the opener. They either have a sense of it, or they have learned to notice the signs—the guns ready, the clothes laid out, the boots repaired. The excitement is so palpable that it’s easy for me to forget any number of things. The morning of every hunt bears a similar anticipation. For many, it is filled with anxiety. Others treat it like just another day at an office. No matter how we start our day in the field, the way we do it can determine our success. Here are 5 things you can do before setting out to ensure a successful hunt.

Photography, books and movies about wartime are a few of my passions. The ever-present scene of the soldier looking lovingly at a tattered photo of the gal he left behind always chokes me up. While touring the National WWll Museum in New Orleans this year, I saw many of those worn and faded photos displayed within the glass cases. How many times must that soldier have looked at that photo, longing to return home and see his girl again? How else could a soldier have held on to the image of a loved one left behind? In my research through history books and talking to people in the field and at local gun shows, I found an interesting and artful way that this devotion was expressed—sweetheart grips.

Have you ever thought of scouting in the dark? LG and I’ve done a lot of scouting. We’ve chatted with a few elk bulls in the night. We’ve heard footsteps near our tent at night. This past year we were given the opportunity to try a couple different methods of seeing those things that go “grunt” in the night. We tested both infrared and thermal vision devices by spying on animals in the dark.
