... you practice your turkey calling at the top of the parking deck in Atlanta between college classes!
Geez, only 10 more days!
Feel free to add your own!
If your wife knows the difference between a cluck and a putt.
Opens tomorrow for me.
:funnyturkey:
Or when the door squeaks your analyzing if the pitch was high or low.
While eating, your fork scratches across the plate, and you're thinking "I could call a turkey with that"!
You crawl over a fence while deer hunting, and wonder if the squeeking barb wire would call a turkey.

:agreed:
Been there too.
...If your wife tells you she is concerned that you "seem distant" during the month prior to opening day.
My reply:
"Huh? Sorry, what were you saying??? You mind keeping it down while I try to look at this topo map?!?!? I need to know where he's roosting at..."
:smiley-char092:
Your dog runs and hides under the bed at the sight of a box call.
You're alarm goes off in the morning and you shock gobble
Your wife tells you not to pick up a turkey call the exact instant you start to walk into your man cave.

while doing anything outside you hear a crow and you subconsciously stop and listen for a gobble.
When you return to work, a coworker tells you he thought you had quit.
Hands down the best thread on Old Gobbler!
Every single one of these cracked me up! Excellent Humor!

this one has my vote!
You are on your phone posting in a "you might be addicted to turkey...." thread while on a 650 mile drive to hunt some public land osceolas.
You might be addicted...if your on this forum! My wife thinks we are all nuts!!
Your 6 year old son shows you the toy he is playing with and says "Listen Dad when I do this with it .. it sounds like a Turkey calling" :)
When you tryout a brand new call in the parking lot of the Post Office and wonder why people are looking at you. :TooFunny:
How many of you have recorded turkey hunting shows on your DVR that your waiting to watch? I do...Addicted!
You download turkey call ringtones on your phone just in case you forget to turn the ringer off when you go in the woods

HA i have 5 or 6 recorded i will watch next week. That way the season is only a week away and i dont loose to much sleep.
while driving down the road you are using your mouth call and recording it on your cell phone and playing it back to hear if your cadence and timing are good.
i don't see anything wrong with any of these....my favorite is when i get to the job site, get out of my work truck and walk to where i'm working and remember that i still have my mouth call in from where i've been practicing my calling while driving to work.....
You notice feather buds are starting grow out of your face while shaving.
If you forget to pay the May electric bill, (like I did one year)! Wife is still mad!
:fud:
I break out my mouth calls as soon as deer season is over lol

You can't sleep right a month before the season starts
You start waking up in the mornings way before its time to go to work
Like someone else said you record gobblers sounds on your phone, mine starts out with an owl hooting then gobbles

Dang, you been hiding in the back of my truck spying on me?
This seriously happened to me today while sitting on the couch...I was sitting beside my wife daydreaming/strategizing when she (for the 3rd time) yelled my name. It startled and angered me at the same time because I was just about to shoot! You guys are reassurance that I may be crazy but at least I'm not alone. Awesome thread!!!

You have your 2 year old son saying gobble gobble while you are practicing your calling. LOL!
You name your kids Merriam or Rio
Your girlfriend is scantily clad on the steps when you get home from work as you walk to the kitchen and take 3 minutes to conclude the conversation you're having with a choke tube manufacturer.......
You have a turkey tattoo.
You have a spur made into a gold necklace.
You whistle at the turkeys at the state fair and try to make them gobble. If it works, you tell everyone about it ;D
There's more....

I do transfer some of my mouth calls from the fridge to my vehicle way before the season starts so I can practice calling while driving down the road. I never thought of recording it though. Man you really do have it bad! :lol:
The month of April you change your alarm clock to one you bought from Cabelas. (Broken Silence) Sculpture of a turkey that cuts, gobbles, and the snooze is a shotgun blast.

You take the straw out of your drink and use it like a wingbone.

When my wife told me that my two year old son tried to yelp before he said MA'MA' or DA'DA'.... :funnyturkey:
Its easier to remember when turkey season opens, than it is to remember your anniversary.

You plan your wedding so that it will not interfere with turkey season.
I have the gobbler ring tone on my phone but had it on vibrate for a few days. Switched it to normal and forgot about it. Sitting in the living room and it goes off and I instinctivley duck down.
Happened twice that day!! lol
If your days are all mixed up and seem to blend together.
If you here gobbles when they aren't there.
If your mancave is wallpapered using gobbler fans.
If you roost like it's your job and disappear an hour before dark each evening.
Guilty!
If you quit your job on March 1st and then tell you wife you have no plans to look for another one until the end of May.
When your at work welding stainless 16 pipe with a call in your mouth calling :funnyturkey: :newmascot:
Hilarious on all accounts. I think the scantily clad GF is the funniest LOL.
I can hear it now.
"Not now baby, I'm looking to get 300 in my 10" ring."
"What?!"
"You wouldn't understand...."
lol
...if your local gunsmith knows how many shotguns you have and which ones have a red dot on them.
If the local sporting good store calls YOU to see what kind of turkey shells you want each year before it starts ordering. :funnyturkey:

Guilty! My anniversary is two weeks after end of season for this very reason.
You show up for work on time and they say " must not have been gobbling this morning"
If you're sitting in the Cracker Barrel restaurant and hear a woman laughing and swear it was a hen turkey.
Happened a couple of years ago while in Nashville for nationals... Maybe I just heard too many calls that day...

:TooFunny: Been there done that!!! I literally plan EVERYTHING so it will not interfere with my turk season.
If you find out you'll be laid off from March until early June and you start fist pumping and yelping with your voice on the way out of the boss's office...guilty.
You sleep with a pot call on the night stand next to your bed.
Your 14 month old son knows about 10-15 words and one of them is goba-goba (gobble-gobble) which he say anytime you ask him what sound a turkey makes.
