Default 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".
