Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Your morning ritual, and are you trying anything new this year?

Try to keep it simpler than you

If I don’t spend the night in the bunk room at my farm I get up an hour earlier and drive down.

Drink a large yeti tumbler of coffee on the drive, empty my bowels in the bunk room (or woods if I’m hunting somewhere else), and walk in about 15 minutes before gobbling time

Nothing new this year but last year I did start keeping some listerine in my truck. A quick swish before I leave the truck helps with the taste and funk on mouth calls

Also got some readers to keep in my vest this year so I can keep up with work emails during the hunt

Edited to add - if I tag out and don’t have someone else to call for in South Carolina I’ve got a couple North Carolina public spots I try. Same routine but haven’t ever had much luck there
