Ok. . . so who else is thinking about opening day 24/7?

[Deerthug]

Ok... so I'm sitting at my desk doing some work on my laptop and I can't stop thinking about opening day. 

Just wondering if it's only me, but is anyone else thinking about opening day 24/7?

[Elmo]

Ditto.  The only time I'm not thinking about opening day is when I'm having sex.

[steve863]

Honestly NO I don't think about it 24/7.  Yeah, it crosses my mind and I still look forward to it since I do like to hunt, but I have had 30 plus opening days under my belt and have learned that there are way more important things in life than to think about hunting 24/7.  However, I get a real kick out of people saying that they do!  They must live way less hectic lives than I do.  LOL

[burmjohn]

My desk at work is a mix of my trail camera pictures and my baby girl... So I do think about it throughout the day   Especially this time of year, when the season is just around the corner.  I'm putting in for my days off for opening week of bow now.

[Deerthug]

Ok . . . well maybe not 24/7, but as opening day nears, it seems to wander into my thinking more often, especially when doing tedious computer work. I guess it doesn't help when my wall in my office is filled with turkey fans, horns and hides as well as pictures of the good times spent with friends and family. 

Steve863, I agree there are a lot more important things to think about (aside from your family which in my mind always comes first), such as . . .um . . . the Yankees battle with the Red Sox for first place . . .LOL!   just kidding . . .

[WNYBuckHunter]

I am in hunting prep mode at this point, so yes, I am thinking about it alot right now. Unfortunately my job wont let me think about it 24/7. 

[Elmo]

Things on my mind in order of frequency:

1. Hunting.

2. Giants football.

3. Project due 8/26.

4. My large pile of debt I'm accumulating.

5. If my girlfriend will be in the mood tonight since she passed out early last night.

6. Fantasy football draft.

7. Up coming mini-trip to San Diego in late September.

So we'll assume #5 will be #1 tonight

Yeah, it was suppose to be the night before.  She's been complaining that I've spent too much time lately on #1 and #2.  But by the time I logged off HuntingNY, she was already passed out.  Go figure.

[CNYScott]

On my mind for sure.  Grabbed-up two new ladder stands at Bass Pro in Auburn.  Also picked-up the first hunting gear for my sons. 

[ny hunter]

I am still down the shore with the family.We are supposed to go home today but the wife is gonna see if we can stay to the end of the week.Weather is awesome.And my youngest is having a ball.Any way when I get home I well be in hunting mode until Dec 31st.....

[Deerthug]

I just picked up a Delta Swamp Buck 3D Archery Target for $59.99 at Dicks (On sale from $99.99, less a $20 mail in rebate and I had a $20 off coupon) Could not pass it up.  I guess the hunting vibe keeps getting stronger . . . ;D

[Geno C]

after seeing what my buddy and i have been getting on trail cams, its all i think about! lol

im ready....

[RobC]

honestly its all I think about all year round. They day after muzzleloader i'm already pouting and depressed that i have to wait till next year. the misses is about fed up with it though. so i'm working on pretending not to think about it as much

[Forest Hunter]

Looking at my trail camera pictures is on my mind the most. Right above actually hunting.

RobC...That is a common affliction...

I have always called it  PDSDS.....

It stands for  Post Deer Season Depression Syndrome...

It is a very real thing...No CHIT..!!..

I have always remedied it with things like winter fishing, rabbit and grouse hunting, excessive alcohol use and other common cures.

I have indeed begun to plot my strategy  for the upcoming deer season here at home and in PA.

HOWEVER, I am leaving two weeks from tomorrow on a moose hunt in Newfoundland, so THAT is kinda taking center stage right now...

This old fat fart is getting a little bit PUMPED, just to say the least...

[ameridear]

I'm am like rob c, right after muzzle loader i start with my drive by scouting( looking at open fields and trails while i drive around for work.) Does anyone  else think they have watches and calendars in their bedding area. after season closes they are everywhere.

little funny thing observed today. waiting for a return call from the office  5 turkey hen cross street into the woods. one come back out and starts jumping at a bush. when done this hen returns back in the wood with a green balloon hang from her mouth. i just wish i had my camera it was funny as hell.
