Ambivalent, I think you will look like you are trying too hard if you do all that you have come up w/on your list for the first weekend of hunting. If he's smart, he'll see right through the fact that you are trying too hard. Do one or two things, but not all of them.
I would suggest that you pick those times that he is going to be around you for any length of time to fix a meal. Why not ask your h if he would like for you to pack a picnic breakfast for him and his friend for Saturday morning. If he says yes, ask him what they would like to have. It could be a thermos of coffee and muffins or just the coffee. Deer can smell things a mile away and he may tell you that he doesn't want anything prepared for the morning.
Just my two cents.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
