Daylight Saving Time

[fasteddie]

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 !

But home an hour earlier for dinner!

[Fletch]

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?

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.

I'm not It getting up any earlier nor are the deer .

Start at 6 instead of 7

[fasteddie]

Start at 6 instead of 7

 

No fooling ! Get up at 3:30 instead of 4:30 . 

[monkeyman2269]

Nah no thanks lol I only do that for ducks

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 

[landtracdeerhunter]

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.

My wife and daughter are excited, they get to gain an hour of sleep.....not me....

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.

[Core]

DST so stupid, really wish we could stop it.

[Nomad]

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 .

[YFKI1983]

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.

[Pygmy]

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.

[Huntscreek]

I don,t think the Amish in NY observe DST.

[bubba]

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

[Nomad]

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 .

[The_Real_TCIII]

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

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.

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.
