I find certain hunts more fun than others. Deer is a good time i really enjoy it but it don't hold a candle to my elk huntin. Its not the elk so much just the 2 guys from the south part of the province that come up to my place to hunt. They camp out in my yard and we have a blast. Everynight we are back in camp tellin stories, some of em are even true. Throw in some goose huntin usually also to break up the elk action. Best time in the world.

Nope, I don't like baseball!

So, in my mind, I changed Iowa to Canada!:D

It isn't fun. I don't know what it is but it is well beyond fun.

-I catch myself grinning ear to ear a LOT while hunting
-I have a phrase I use to describe events I see "That's worth the price of admission"
-I can't wait to get home and tell my wife everything I've seen

-When you come in from a big night out......and go straight to the stand....instead of going to bed.....you KNOW you love hunting. I did that, twice, this year!

I can't think of anything else that could get me up at 4 in the morning. I can't sleep at night, can't work, can't think about anything else but hunting for a month before the season opens.

Nuff said! If it were just fun, and not SO MUCH MORE, I'd still be sleepin in on those cold windy mornings. But you know I'm sitting in that stand when the sun comes up every chance I get. So it's beyond fun for me.

One half of my heart belongs to everything else in life, the other half to hunting!:D

I love to bowhunt. I have always beenthe outdoors type of person. So any time I can get out anywhere in woods, I'm happy. Not sure how I would act if the only two spots (close to town and a treelinenext tosome timber) I have to hunt, had a better deer population. With the limited amout of timber or timber that has no one hunting it already. The only two spots so far that I am able tohunt, have a very low deer poulation. You can sit for a week or so straight without seeing anythings, it does test your dedication sometimes. I do manage to get at least one a year, but I definitely earn it. It sure makes for a rush when it all comes together though!!! Just seeing deer is a successful hunt for me sometimes.....But, ya just gotta love it..;)

Iowa? Canada? How about Kansas, you know, God's country! Hunting or just being outdoors, when I was a kid I never spent time indoors watching TV or playing video games. I was out side building forts, hunting with my daisy, getting poisen ivey..ect. The kids now a days don't have a clue! I can't put into words how it makes me feel but I just love taking someone out with me that has never been and seeing the look on their face when they experience being at the right place at the right time! Truly a gift from God!

I use hunting as a form of punishment. Whenever I'm naughty, I punish myself for two weeks. Nothing but hunting. Man, is it awful, being forced to hunt. The bad part is that I never learn, and make the same mistakes over and over again. I've been so bad that I don't think that I'll ever be able to stop hunting. It seems that I've been doomed to hunting for the rest of my life. I sure hope the rest of you can learn from this and not have to endure the pain that I've dealt to myself![:-]

Yep, some say I'm nuts, spending so much valuable time and money to sit in a tree by myself trying to outwit these creatures.
Ithink the people who DON'T do this are the crazy ones!

It's the weirdest thig ever. Most worldly things in life become "old hat" after a while.......with hunting it's just the opposite. My passion and "urge" grows more and more each year.

And you did not shoot a booner[&:]

Are you 1 of the 2 that voted no? I recall a quote said you did not enjoy hunting, LOL;)

Iowa is deer heaven, Canada is a close second[8D]

I checked the "Great Googly Moogly....." box. :D

Everytime I go hunt I feel like a kid on Christmas. I just love every moment.

I cant find the right words right now. you know how i voted.;)

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
The only words that enter my mind when I hunt are...Great googly moogly...[8D]. Except I'd rather go to Kansas instead of Iowa(sry HCH;)).

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
It's amazing to me how it makes me feel, hence the vote of can't explain how I feel. You really can't to those non-hunters, only other hunters can understand.

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
With a few exceptions it is when every thing makes the most sense to me! I never feel more alive or as in tune as when I am hunting.I can't imagine my life without it!

Sliverflicker 02-02-2007 09:12 PM

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
I don't think I can explain it any better than tsoc did!

It's just a life I have to live. The rest of it at this point is really just STUFF.

Bowhunting's better than sex. ......Well, maybe not , but really close.

My wife made me say that.

rybohunter 02-02-2007 10:16 PM

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
Sometimes I have a good time, well most times. Sometimes its no fun at all being out there, but for some reason I stay there.

HammytheHunter 02-02-2007 10:19 PM

RE: How much fun do you have while you hunt
 
Dangit, I voted and didn't read the next to last option![:@] I tell you what, nothing can explain how I feel when I am in the woods. I could just be scouting in the preseason or in my stand during peak-rut and NOTHING beats it. After a hard day at work or just anything stressful, when I am in the woods, all else disappears. Even if I don't see deer, I still just enjoy being outside and being away from the hassles of everyday life. Just like fishing. Once hunting season is over, I look forward to the early morning trout fishing to come with nothing but the sound of the creek/river rolling over the nearby rocks. :D
