Im going insane!!!!

[NYBowhunter]

Seems that hunting is on my mind 24/7 and its making me nuts...lol...Because im not hunting and  being stuck in my office all i can do to get my fix  is to listen to hunting podcasts all day, check this site periodically, check my weather apps. and  day dream about being in the stand. All these things just make the day drag on, Friday cant get here soon enough. Mind you i have been hunting for 30 years and it gets more and more addicting . Am i the only one this crazy?

I'm the same way for sure and won't be in the stand until Monday. Been trying to calm myself with some duck hunting but it isn't working lol.

I missed my time entry last Friday for the whole week. I just had to explain to my boss that all I can think about is deer..

Same boat....Only been out two weekends so far with the next one being the 11th!!!!!

Happy I am not the only addict!  lol  This is just something we as hunters have to deal with. 

I was really bad after I got my first deer in 2000 but not as bad as when I missed several over a 8 year span in this remote area!  Lucky for me it all worked out when I finally connected in 2010 with a brute.  Only problem is this did not cure my addiction but it did help me easy up on it. 

Right now a cold is keeping my spirit down, hope to clear up so I can hunt Friday - Monday.

Same here took off the last two weekends to wrap up one of my boys fall baseball season, cant wait to get back out there this weekend.

[Rebel Darling]

Can't make it out today, but am vigilantly checking the weather app to see what time the snow is expected tomorrow morning.  I'm thinking that if the snow holds off to just after sunrise, the does might be taking their time traveling back to their beds, and I hope to catch a trailing buck on his feet.  Also considering which stand to try out tomorrow...

Yeah, I'm at the office getting ready to...  Wait!  I just received an email from Wired to Hunt, so there's that to review now.

I went out hunting one year in the late season after being sick for two weeks , was hacking up a lung and all kids of crap coming out of my lungs, still got in the treestand. Im just obsessed/crazy.

You got that right, i make up all these fairytales in my mind  of bucks chasing does around my stand. And without fail every year the biggest buck around tends to my mock scrape in broad daylight one or 2 days before  i get there..lol

[NYBowhunter]

And for heavens sake, this Live from the woods crap is making me crazy...envy you guys.

It's a disease.  Like Jim Shockey says, if I'm not hunting, I'm thinking about hunting.  I tell my wife I am stuck in traffic on the way home from work, just so I can sneak a trip to Dick's to pick up a few "necessities".  Luckily, she lets me cure the disease regularly.  At lunch, I'm here writing this!  The last few weeks I've been getting out after work, driving three hours to hunt two hours...  Imagine how much worse it would be with a trail camera with wireless connectivity?

I have some symptoms. Not full blown disease but I did ditch work last Friday to walk around in the rain, so i think that qualifies.

I embraced the suck last weekend all day Saturday in the rain just to be out there. Actually saw 8 does which was encouraging. Sunday morning was a great day with 5 bucks: 3 spike and 2 fours. Like NYBowhunter I'm trapped in the city mon-fri and would escape every weekend to up there if I could. Unfortunately I can't. I need to win lotto enough of this city job crap. It's eating into my hunting time.

I agree, i always said i should have been born a farmers son. I dont mind  living in Brooklyn but im getting tired of this NYC  rat race and all its tourist. Gets old after a while. Got many more years to go before  i can retire...ugh.

[BigVal]

I give you guys in NYC props I've never even visited!

[blackradio]
