You Hunt Too Much When…

1. You wear your camo or hunter orange jacket out for supper with your spouse

2. When someone asks for direction and your response includes your topographic map and wind direction

3. You watch T.V. in your living room from inside your ground blind

4. You come home from work and the kids don’t recognize you without your camo gear on

5. Your spouse begins to ‘enjoy’ your favorite cologne (or perfume) called ‘Essence of Buck’ or ‘Doe in Heat’.

6. Outside play time with your kids becomes a Marco Polo type game with you in your new camouflage saying, “Can you see me now?”

7. You constantly test the effectiveness of your Scent-lok jacket by walking past your dog with a juicy T-bone underneath your shirt.

8. Your spouse says, “C’mere Dear” and you respond by instinctively reaching for your bow and asking, “How many points does the deer have, Honey?!”

9. You wish you had an outhouse.

10. You take the family portrait with your game cam in complete darkness – just to make sure the night vision setting works.

Have I missed any? Would to hear your additions to my list. Please comment below.

    These are Great additions! I am SO guilty of your second addition – the planning family events line. I planned (I should say- Negotiated) my wedding to happen the month before deer season. I needed some scouting time…

    Here is a few I’ll add;

    · Your annual Christmas Card features a photo of you with an animal you killed.
    · You plan important family events like weddings, reunions, and even funerals around hunting season.
    · As a college student you planned your class schedule to allow you to hunt a few mornings and a few afternoons a week
    · You use insurance settlement from a car accident to camo paint your car after the repairs is made.
    · Have you ever asked for a medical device such as a cast, cane,or dental bridge, etc to be colored Real Tree Green.
    · You keep a good selection of calls ( turkey, deer, elk & waterfowl) next to the TV remote just so you can help Uncle Ted, Michael Waddell, Sean Mann, Harold Knight, and David Hale call the next critter in.
    · Your refrigerator contain at least one bottle of animal urine

    I’ll add this all but one of these applies directly to me :D See if you can guess which one isn’t mine.
