12 step program
 

I'm gonna go out on a limb....this hunting stuff may be addictive. I buy hundreds in equipment all year long and spent countless hours shooting arrows. I burn $20-30 in gas EVERY weekend to and from hunting camp, just to wake up and 0430 and race to the woods. I soak myself with scent neutralizer, (which sometimes makes icicles on my clothes), thenhike in pitch blackness to climb a tree and sit for hours. All the while I feel a little guilty cause the wife's at home with kids, and the bad thing is, when I'm at home, I spend a fair amount of time watching the outdoor channel.

Anyone ever seek help for this? I don't think I'm ready cause I'm still afraid to admit I have a problem - seems normal to me!

Hi, my name is Mark and I've been free from hunting for 5 days. If I don't get an interdiction tonight, I know I'll be back in a stand getting my fix by 4:30 tomorrow morning. I have little voices in my head constantly telling me to "Kill Bambi, Kill Bambi".

I get out of work about 3pm, comestraight home, thendrive an hour out to my stands pretty much everyday.For the passed 3 weeks, as long as it wasn't raining I was out there. I hunted tuesday wednesday today and I will tomorrow as well as the weekend. Ilive, eat, sleep and breath bowhunting. When I close my eyes I see the woods. When I open my eyes I think of the woods. At night I dream about the woods.At work my mind commonly drifts away from my work and finds itself (you guessed it) in the woods. Driving round and about, I find myself staring off into and hypnotized by the woods. I'm constantly looking for deer on the edges of woods. When I pass by any acreage of woods my heart skips a beat like a school girl's does from mere sight of her boyfriend... all in first love's grip.

You think you have a problem? You've got no flying clue! LOL

The only way to help the problem is to shoot a buck early.

Really it's not a problem. I can quit whenever I want to. I'm different, I just don't want to stop. But I can. Why don't you just leave me alone!
