You hear your wife "break-wind" in the bedroom....


...you mistake it for a doe in estrous bleat....


....you come running.....


....with your ears pinned back.....


....and your upper lip curled.

When your chosen home location, job, vacation time, laundry soap, clothing,everything is carefully picked to enhance your bowhunting opportunities and your kids can snort wheeze on command!

When you change you usual route home so that you can drive along a back road and look for deer. Then when you see one you stop in the middle of the road to check it out with the bino's.

When you use your release to attach to your zipper when you have
to take a leak.

When you start listening for every little sound and you can hear a spider
walking across the floor in the next room but still can't hear what your
wife says when she is sitting next to you.

When you go to the store and the cashier says 3 bucks, and you shout "WHERE?"

When you drive down the road and every other bush or stalk of grass
looks like a "nice deer."

When you can leave your house in the middle of a cold dead winters morning before dark and realize you aren't wearing a coat, but you are only pissed off because you forgot your release.

LOL I thought I was the only one who did that.

Ya know, I think this is where the line is drawn between addiction and obsession.

Oh, here's one from yesterday... when there's 2 inches of accumulated snow on you cause you were so intent on staying motionless for a whole 3 hours.

you're addicted to huntin' when you leave your husband in the hospital when he thinks he's having a heart attack..........sad but true.....in my defense he told me to leave after the first two sets of results came back negative....i fought him tooth and nail but i finally gave in...i still feel bad about going and realized that i am most definitely addicted and should probably seek some help.

Your Christmas tree has a rub on it........facing away from the kitchen.

You have your blind set in the hallway between the kitchen and the bedroom..............

Of course...on the downwind side of the hall.......where else?

When you skip class to get to your stand early, and skip class to stay in the stand late.

When you don't go home for thanksgiving, christmas, or new years because its pre-rut, rut, and post-rut.

When the season is over you bait for deer in the front yard and shoot them with blunt tips.

When your girlfriend wants to come hunting with you, "it's the only way she can spend time with you on the weekends."
