Prior to each hunt, I try to imagine what I'm just about to lose or tear up.  Sometimes I'm a little off on specifics, but rarely off on the fact that I WILL lose or tear something up.  Just ask those who hunt with me.  In fact, I'm about 10 minutes back right now from the tire shop where I just had a new wheel mounted for my Polaris to replace the wheel, hub and wheel studs I tore up on Saturday.

I don't know what it is about hunting or fishing...been doing both for the 40 years I've been alive but I never sleep well the night before.

I also talk to my dogs.  Been doing it ever since I can remember.  All my dogs have grown up that way...since they were all pups and used to turn hogs out for the pups to go find.  I walk to the box, start hissing and saying "Who's gonna get a hog, yipping, etc."  In just a second they'll all be pawing at the gate and going crazy.  When I open the box, better not be anyone standing between them and the woods or you'll get run over.  Hunted a while back with some new guys I hadn't previously hunted with.  First time I cut dogs out they ribbed me pretty good...asked me if we were having a pep-rally back there at the dog box.
