Title: Sanity
Post by: Deputy 14 on January 16, 2012, 04:13:28 AM
Just curious if I'm the only one here who ever questions their sanity when it comes to hunting. Every year I am so fired up about spring turkey and fall archery that I can't focus on anything else. But at the end of each season Im glad it's over, almost as a weight has been lifted. I think about how productive I could be with work and family yet I continue to become more addicted to the game every year. This is why I wonder if I am programmed correctly or if the blast of a shotgun has rattled something loose?

I don't question my sanity as my addiction makes perfect sense to to me. My wife on the other had, now she questions my sanity every time a new season roles around.  :z-guntootsmiley:

x3!!!!
Deputy, I don't look at it that way. The way I see it, the stresses of life are enough to affect my sanity. I view my time in the woods as breaks to allow me to regain my sanity. I'm never glad its over. I would hunt year round if I could.

You guys are right. I'm never really glad it's over. Just glad that I can go a few months without having to procrastinate.  :icon_thumright:

Hi, my name is Eric and I am a turkeyholic.
It all began when I saw a Tom in Teoc, MS, strutting and drumming in a field to a lone hen.
Curiosity was stirred, so I bought me an 870, box of turkey shells and a couple of calls and said "I will try some of that."
Then, one morning, I heard my first gobble. My heart raced, I began to shake, and I remember not remembering how I covered so much ground in so little time. I would then began to get up earlier, racing out the door and leaving the warmth and comfort of my bed. I would come in tired, delerious from the early hours and all the walking. But, it just kept calling me.

Yes, I am addicted, and no, I don't want to be cured :gobble: :OGani: :fud: :newmascot: :smiley-char092:
