fasteddie Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Crap ! Daylight Saving Time ends this coming Sunday . That means I have to get an earlier start in the morning for any hunting for the rest of the season . I hate that ! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am not a fan. Get up an hour earlier yik and basically lose my after work hunts unless I scoot out of work early. Not even sure why we do DST anymore? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Was thinking it was next week for some reason. Who's to blame for this time change? Why government of coarse. Didn't it have something to do with saving electricity in office buildings or something? I like to go by light conditions anyway. I stopped hunting by the clock years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptown Redneck Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I thought I read somewhere that DST came about when the country was more rural so that farmers had more hours of daylight to work their fields during the summer months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 President Wilson signed it into law in 1918 to support the war effort during WWI. Year round DST was in place during WWII from 42 to 45, better known as Eastern War Time. From 45 to 66, mass confussion erupted with train, plane , and bus schedules as it was up to each state to decide to stay on old time or change to DST.

Black Bellamy Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It is a folly to mess with time. When they dig up our bones thousands of years of now, they will refer to us as the Clock Watcher People. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 DST so stupid, really wish we could stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Of course there are not " more hours of day light " , I'm still getting up two hour prior to daylight. Forget what the clocks say,hunt come home , eat, drink, sleep repeat . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YFKI1983 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I feel like I usually see a lot of deer starting Halloween. Wasn't sure if it was coincidence or had something to do with DST or the moon. Anyway. I have a 1 year old, so I'm used to waking Up at ridiculous hours for no reason, no problem getting up for hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I did a study on my kill dates and learned that I have killed a LOT more deer on EST than on DST.. Especially since I quit hunting with that silly bow and arrow ! Maybe I should write an article for " Deer and Deer Hunting" on that subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntscreek Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I don,t think the Amish in NY observe DST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Only the govt can cut the end off a blanket sew it to the other end of the blanket and clsim it is longer. Dst is a scheme. Thevsun will be up the same hours regardless of what the clock says 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 One year I forgot to set my clock back, so I got up Sunday without " loosing an hour , hunted came home and found my wife had changed all the clocks, hum.... sense I'm off the next two weeks why should I set it back? Been doing that for years now. If you're retired or have vacation time following dst just leave the clocks alone . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I used to hate it because I'd be leaving for work in the dark and coming home in the dark. Now I work from home so it doesn't bother me as much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 One of the good things about Eastern Standard Time instead of Daylight Savings Time is that with the EST, I am home and hunkered down in time to catch the local news/weather so I can get wind directions and precipitation forecasts to plan my next day's hunt. With daylight savings time, I can still on stand or coming off the hill while the weather is on TV. Of course today with the internet full of far better weather pages than local TV will ever have, that feature is no longer relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Agree and who watches tv shows when they are " on" anyways anymore ? DVR them watch them when you want in 2/3s the time. I blast through the 6 O'clock news in about 5 minutes on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
