Sort of getting over it. I guess I'm not as mad at them as I use to be. Didn't shoot but 5 this year.

And you hadn't notced she has been gone for over 2 to 3 months.

I think I'm Normal but Hooked for sure. But about a month out I may come close to being a Fanatic again because I get Deer on the brain so bad I find myself very distracted from the everyday task of life. I find some relief at this time of the year by shed hunting and checking out deer movement and other sign to determine the overall population in my hunting areas.
I saw over 22 deer a couple of weeks ago and a bunch of turkey while shed hunting with a friend,so that was encouraging. Will get after the turkeys in a month or so here in Indiana to get my hunting face back on for a few weeks.

I know I'm obssesed, and it gets worse with every big buck I kill, like gas on a fire man! Actually it doesn't matter if I kill a nice buck, if I get a shooter on the Cuddy I'm all giddy. For sure I am a Fanatic. Don't get me wrong, I take out 3-4 doe's a year for meat on the table, but when it comes to big bucks I got it BAD!
