Checking all your gear the night before and sharpening the knife and knowing everything is going to work actually has more value than we probably realise, with all the concentration needed for stalking, it is highly conducive not to be going over that list in ones head or trying to remember if the knife is sharp.
Being prepared for success increases the chances of success.
One ritual type thing I do like to do though is eyeball domestic deer the day before deer stalking.
It helps if you do that on a farm where they know you.
