You ask your wife to wear elk in heat scent for the evening!

In the course of your conversation concerning shaft size, shaft stiffness, and achieving total penetration, sex or viagra never enters the discussion.

You own a camouflage tuxedo to wear to the office Christmas party.

If you call in sick opening day more than five years in a row.

...you make your wife drive the 15 year old peice of junk so you can drive the newer4x4 to go hunting in.(She' s not too happy about that one)

You have more boxes of shotgun shells leftover at the end of the seasons than the average buys for the entire season.

Every conversation you have with your co-workers you ending working in a huntin' story.

You take you wife/husband on vacation in the summer to the same area that you hunted Elk last fall. (We' re headed to WY in a couple weeks. ;-) )

You' d never think of getting a dog that wouldn' t hunt with you.

You spend more time in the fall with your hunting buddies than you do with your wife. " Oh, didn' t I tell you honey, George and I are going on a 5 day hunt to North Dakota this weekend. Could you wash my camo pants?"

Reading through the latest Cabela' s catalog counts as reading a newly released book.

You have more pairs waterproof boots than you do dress shoes.

You end hunting season, and immediately start the countdown to the next one. Off season becomes the time to prepare.

Everyone at home & work, knows you will not be available during the upcoming hunting season. And they know better, than to ask you to change your plans.

More importantly, you are not dissatisfied if you come home empty handed. It happens. No one else understands that. But, you are happy to have been able to take part in the hunt. If it were easy, we would not like it.

I think I' m in trouble, everyone of these fits me. The real question is, is this the definition of a hardcore hunter or an " obsessive compulsive fanatical freak of nature" ( my wife' s definition )

Hey Dreamin, I think we' re in the same boat together.

They just don' t get it do they?



If you drive to and from work with your favorite call in your mouth.

If your idea of a great family vacation is everyone filling their tags.

If you buy Hoppes #9 by the gallon just so you can place it in the bathrooms to freshen the air.

IF you ever actually bought and used the Camo T.P. they sell in Cabela' s

Or if you actually planned your children' s birth to come in the off months(I' ve done this)

Or told your soon to be wife to plan the wedding in the off months( I did this on our second or third date) And heck we' re going on 7 yrs. so I must be doing smoething right

To go along with an earlier post: How about you don' t notice the taste of Buck urine in your copenhagen anymore

Awesome post, the scary thing is is I relate to all of them[]

My 6th anniversary-this past March I was gone on Bowhunting trips to S. Texas javalina & Hogs. My wife booked me a 5 day Bowhunt @ Carta Valley this NOV. & I will be there ON MY BIRTHDAY. She has been trained right.
I just ordered a new Compound-she said, honey, when it gets here LET ME PAY FOR IT.. i have a great wife fellas. She even went on a trip last Sept. & filmed for me..

A " REAL" redneck hunter is one who makes a mock scrap in his back yard & waits for the " NEIGHBOR" lady to come check it out..
I hope you all Have a good season-no matter what you go after.
