Oh you know itwhen you head off for a week away and you leave the wife with a 3 day old baby and a mild case of post partem depression and then have the nerve to call her all excited about the deer you shot. I would have been OK if I had asked how the baby was first. This is the only place I could ever tell that story where people might understand..
Still in trouble over that one 14 years later but we are still married.

I got to page 2 and saw this one... you win.

If you are willing to take your three daughters and wife shopping to have an excuse to check out the new camo patterns.

When your daughters show you their new camo jeans you think "Those would be good for hunting!"
Not that I would wear them of course.

if...
-you chew gum that tastes like pine cones,
-you use arm and hammer solid deodorant on orifices other than your pits,
-you break wind at the end of the evening, powerful enough to shake a small tree, because you've been holding them in all day so as not to spook the deer,
-all the hair on your forearms is gone, because thats where you test your broad-heads,
-you thread the tarsal glands from your buddies buck to your boot laces,
-you've got enough home brew scent killer to de-odorize Rosie O'Donnell's vaginosis for a month,
-you wonder if Rosie's said hideous condition might actually attract a buck????[:'(]

You purposely barf up pop tarts before school so that you can go hunt the rut

You might be addicted to bowhunting if....

....you get more excited about hunting than the family vacation. (actual statement)

You got me on that one Greenboy, that was great!!!!

So so so so true....

..you purposely step in every pile of cow manure you find on your way to hunt, looking for and especially enjoying the freshest ones.
.. you wife gives you an itemized list of what you spend on hunting before the season opens and its more than you spent on her car.
...you build a lodge so you you don't have to be away from the family while your hunting and get more days in the stand.

...you tell the inlaws that every holiday will now be celebrated at your lodge so you can hunt instead of being out of town at the inlaws wishing you were in the treestand.

...you marry a woman who father hunted so she understands your addiction.
