Default What wrong with me....

O.K. Here it is......@5:00a.m. and i've been up for a couple hours already. I don't know whats happening to me, but It started around Jan 7th or 8th. I can't seem to get my mind off of hunting, shooting my bow, climbing into my stand, going through my gear, my bow set up, ect..ect..ect..

I started bow hunting about three years ago, and each year I get a little more into it. This year I felt I was getting pretty "die Hard" and enjoyed it more than previous years. My wife has seen this metamorphasis also. Here is my problem (if it is a problem):

Our latebow season ended here in WI on Jan 6th. Since then My mind is always on some aspect of the sport. I haven't had a full nights sleep since than. I find myself just staring out the window for long periods of time. I cant get Sept 13 out of my mind, (you guessed it - 2008 opener).

Its 10-20 below zero outside this time of year here so shooting outside to take up some time is tough and there is not an indoor archery range around for miles. I have been doing some rabbit hunting with my son to get me in the woods and have a great time with him, but its not the same....

Does anyone else feel or has felt this way before? And if so what can you suggest to get me through these tough times[]. Mossy oak said it best with "its not a passion, it's an obsession"(or something on those lines)

O.k., now I am rambling....see whats happening to me...My wife is in bed and I am out here posting threads in the middle of the night......HELP!

(sorry so lengthy....)
