100% or 50% hunter
I'm a 100%,365 day bowhunter that eat,sleep,and love hunting.Are you the same?Or are you a 50%/a seasonal hunter.meaning that you get the urge 2 or 3 months before the upcoming season.Either way isn't it a wondreful feeling, knowing you'll get to eat what you harvest and knowing that his spirit will be inside of you for eternity.Thank the GOD for what HE gave us.GOD,I'm sounding like The "NUGE".maybe we all should feel the same way.Then let the ANTI'S come after us.

RE: 100% or 50% hunter
A wise ol' man once told me;
"No matter how much time we spend on hunting, we are still, at best, PART-time predators. The animals are FULL-time survivors."
This little bit of info comes in handy on the days nothing goes right. And we have all seen em' before!

RE: 100% or 50% hunter
I spend just about 100% of my free time shooting, scouting, or getting ready for deer season. The only problem is I do have to work, and then take care of all the little things around the house. If not for those I would probably live in the woods and bow shops.

RE: 100% or 50% hunter
I don't think I can put a percentage on it. I bowhunt year round, practice for bowhunting year round, I type and read about bowhunting or am making equipment when I'm not bowhunting. The wife says I eat, sleep and breath bowhunting and she's right, bowhunting for me is a lifestyle, not a pasttime and it will never be a sport. However, even though my spirituality and my family are intertwined with and included in bowhunting, they will always be placed first and foremost in my life.

RE: 100% or 50% hunter
Not any more than say a 75% deer hunter. I sleep about 6 hours a night(25% of the 24 hour day) and don't dream about them. My wife keeps telling me I'm always saying something about guns and deer in my sleep. I tell her the deer she hears me talking about is DEAR meaning her. The guns are to keep the competition away.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> So... I'm a 75 percenter.

Jennings used to have a magazine add of a guy sitting on his garage launching arrows at a 3D deer and it read... "Some call it obsessive compulsive,..... We call it BOWHUNTING",man that is my LIFE!!!

RE: 100% or 50% hunter
Hard to say...Maybe a 25%? I have four true loves. Bowhunting, fly-fishing, coyote hunting, and my family. I shoot year round so maybe more than 25% but I tie flies year round too. I call coyotes 6 months out of the year. All in all those four things take up about 150% of my time! HEHEHE
