Those of us that are obsessed can read all the post in this thread and smile with understanding, even if I have not done all the things mentioned I can say me too, I dont blame you, and we are all crazy. Would not want any other way.

Uhh..yeah, that kinda describes me in many ways... I decided to stop watching turkey videos until after I get back from my scouting trip this weekend. Don't want to jinx it...

Oh the fever...the fever...

My additions and vices to not necessarily reflect themselves in my personal life. My cell phonefeatures a ring tone that I can hear (which is important to a deaf duck hunter).

I do stir and eat my food in a 1-3-2 pattern though. ;)

Don't worry SwampCollie, I have tinnitus in both earsfrom manyyears of duck hunting, but the hen,gobbler, gun blast ring tone can be easily heard. You should at least have a duck ringtone.

Although most people would find this kind of behavior strange, I can definately understand it and I do many of these things as well. I find myself talking about turkey hunting to anybody who will listen whenever I get a chance. Every little while I break out my calls and imagine myself calling to a tom. I get up early in Spring just to have a chance of hearing a tom gobble far away in the distance. I've got a countdown to opening day. Stuff like that gets you excited for the season, which is what hunting is all about.

I find that vibrate works well. I can't hear half of them anyway even on top volume.

I might could hear a high ball if I could record my own contest routine with my BOSS. I'll bet I could hear geese too... they have a fairly sharp note.

Now... if I could get a woman to speak in to the microphone and used that as my ringtone, I'd be so hard to get ahold of you'd think I stopped paying my bills.

From February 1rst till theend of the season, I only speak turkey!!


LOL, I am almost the exact same way....I have my diaphragms with me no matter where I go during turkey season, and if I see turkeys somewhere and I have time, by golly, I'm stopping the car and giving them a holler just for the practice....:D

I know, I know...I'm addicted, but if you try to help, I will rebel!!!!

i've set the blind up in the living room and even got in with my bow just to check window heights again.
I set up my dekes in the yard and also leave them set up in my den all around the room. my ringtone is a yelp followed by a gobble and then boom. and the only song my radio plays is "hung up" by rhett akins. my screen saver and backgrundon every computer is a strutting gobbler. I'm typing this with a mouth call in as we speak.
i even dream turkeys every night till season is over.


I've been hunting for 30 some years and I never dream about hunting... I think about it all day long while my eyes are open... But not while I sleep...

Sickness, addiction, disease, fever. Whatever you wanna call it. It is what I am and what I live for. early spring mornings. dew on the grass. watching the sun rise. hearing the first gobble. I am and will forver be a Turkey hunter for life.

and yea i'll probably have another turkey dream. i know i'm a freak
