Default What About the Small Stuff?

Just curious to know what some of us sweat as far as "small stuff". With equipment, gear, clothing, entrance, exit to stand, what we do on stand, ect.

I know some of us are nit pickers, so let's hear it. I also realize what some of us consider small stuff, to others, might be a big deal. Just thought answers would be interesting.

Thanks, LT

By the way, my greatest pet peeve is getting in the tree only to have to pee 10 min later. Just drives me crazy.[:'(]

A sweaty leather wallet is a source of odor.

Scent control. When I was my clothes, I spray my hands down w/ scent eliminator, and wear latex gloves. I wash EVERYTHING. Towels, undies.....anything that will touch me gets washed in DDW. I'm so anal about it, I think I may have a touch of OCD. It almost drives me crazy, and it's almost like work.

Yeah mobow, scent prevention has become almost a job all season for me too. Kinda slows me down at times, but it's worth it.

I know there are a lot more anal hunters here than this. Come on guys, spit it out.

I pick up deer droppings and bring them to my stand area on that days hunt. *Medical gloves on*
I also keep some frozen for when needed.

Ok, haveto ask.....why do you carry your wallet to your stand?? That's the last thing I want adding to any discomfort up there.
