Pre-Season tradations

Not really.  Shoot my bow, clean shotguns, and make a lot of turkey noises

Changed the oil in my Jeep, a once a year thing now that I don't drive it all that much. Cleaned my guns, and went through the bulk of my spring hunting gear, throwing away several items that I should have thrown away years ago. I have a tendency to keep old camo clothes and such, even if they are beginning to fade, have a couple of holes, or no longer fit "just in case." Then, after a dozen years or so, it finally dawns on me I'm never going to wear them again, so why in the heck keep them?

I need to do the same thing with some calls. I have turkey calls from back in the 80's that I absolutely never hunt with, but for some reason, just hate to get rid of them.

Buy a package of Oreo's. No joke Oreo's and water breakfast of champions in the turkey woods.

I read The Old Pro Turkey Hunter by Gene Nunnery prior to each season.  I've about worn the cover off of the book. I read it out-loud to my boys when they were little....they ought to read it to me now, the way my eyes have gotten.
Do lots of driving and checking spots for sign.
Pattern guns
Order new mouth calls
Wait

1. Shave my head.
2. Make sure the wife knows I her and that everything will be back to normal in 46 days.

[birdyhunter]

1. Buy new mouth calls
2. Grow a beard
3. Run new mouth calls till I either get really good or slapped by my wife. Whichever comes first.
4. Drive to my hunting spots every night for 2-3 weeks and roost birds with my wife and little boy.
5. Have my whole family over for a steak dinner and talk lots and lots of turkey the night before opening day.
Take note #2 is imperative! I hate face masks and I wear glasses so they fog when I get to breathing hard.

Kind of Korny...My dad and I always hunt opening day together. When I was younger and we would go hunting he would always make me cheese toast for breakfast. So now I make us both cheese toast for breadfast every year. I don't know how it came about but it just did. Just something little to start the season off right. I'm heading to Alabama in a day or so and he won't be with me, but at camp on my first morning I'll be eating cheese toast.
