Big mistake. Don't underestimate how good a deer's eyesight is. You'll spook everything in the woods waving that little thing around. Besides that's a good way to catch Zika.

Anyone not eat breakfast before deer hunt?
- Thread starter Comanche
- Start date
If you're looking to economize just substitute the wrapper from the Bojangles biscuits for the oily rag. Your friend's borrowed gun won't know the difference.
We tried that (1) time however the paper wrapping made to much noise... However do sometimes use the wrapper to start
a trash pile burn great fire starter...

I usually get up well before daylight... Have a cup of coffee, eat a small protein bar, piss/poop, shower, and then dress. In before sunrise and sit till 10:30 or so, depending on activity. Come out, change clothes and figure out what we're doing for brunch. Unless I got my kiddos... Then it's a whole different routine.
I eat what I want to for breakfast or sometimes just coffee. I spit snuff and pee several times a morning or evening. Yep. Right outa the Treelounge. Killed 3 fine 8-pointers in two days last year doing all that. Been doing that for 50+ years. Killed over 200 deer.You guys been reading too many magazines written by yankees.
I eat breakfast, or eat some granola bars and trail mix during the drive.
If I have to poop, so be it. So far, it hasn't happened yet. If I have to drop a deuce around 10 a.m. or after, I'll pack it up for the morning, go to a restaurant, do something else for the hottest part of the day, and come back in the early evening to be in the stand an hour before sunset.
Being hungry makes me impatient, and when I'm impatient I start thinking about shooting squirrels, buzzards, the cows in the field a mile up the road...
You know how every year some dumb S.O.B. shoots at a some unknown thing moving through the heavy brush? That's a hungry hunter, wanting to either kill his lunch or get his deer killing over with so he can chow down at the Awful Waffle.
I'm not going to be one of those guys.
I'll do my huntin' well-fed and with my mind at ease.

I drink a gallon of apple juice and piss down my tree.
Unless it's the first day of the season, I rarely hunt in the morning. Filled my freezer last year between 5:30pm-6:00pm in the field...
I pack a lot of snacks a Coke and a camelback. I might have a muffin or doughnut before. No way am I eating a Waffle House meal and making it through noon. My best deer always come around lunchtime. I do my best to not smell up the woods. Chili really isn't the best deer camp food.
I sleep in. Get a biscuit from the gas station up the street. 32oz of coffee. I the get a speed stack at the gym. After my workout, I go to work. Afterward, I stop by the stock yard to pick up a couple of nice thick steaks. I grill them making sure to burn the **** out of mine. A good day hunting.
