The weekend is getting closer! Excitement levels should be building. Equipment should be rechecked 6 or 8 more times!
One thing I forgot to add is the enjoyment of aspects of the hunt other than just the kill. You have heard it before I am sure, but really focus on the sunrise, seeing a grouse, interpreting sign, taking pictures, etc. You can have a really successful hunt and never even see the game animal you are hunting. My kids have a hard time understanding this, but they are coming along.
