You may be an elk hunting addict, if?

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 06 16, 2017 •  [Post 1]

Kind of like Jeff Foxworthy's "you may be a redneck if you.....".

I'll get this rolling. You may be an elk hunting addict if your wife tells you to turn off that damn headlamp, put the map away, and go to sleep at 2:00 am ;).

Or your wife tells you she is going to put that elk call some place else where the wind comes out besides your mouth

You may be a hunting addict if you spend time every day on a forum like this.
You may be a hunting addict if you are going out scouting elk tomorrow. :D

if you start plotting your career options at 16, but not to make as money as possible, but to hunt as much as possible......then follow through with it, full bore.

commercial fishing was the only reasonable option....though considered teaching for a bit.

Practice abstinence Dec-Feb cause you'd hate to miss your kids birth and subsequent birthdays.

If your wife is ready for Sept so she doesn't have to hear about elk hunting, Colorado, or your treadmill training anymore. At least for a minute.

You think Cow Elk Urine smells better than your favorite cologne.

The only reading material next to the toilet is Elknut's Playbook.

If you look to the right and realize that you've typed over 3000 comments on this forum. At 1.5 minutes each that 4500 minutes or like 75 hours. That doesn't count the time you've spent reading which is 10 times that. Is there a rehab program anywhere?

Anniversary on August 13th and expecting our first child December 6th. Towed that line as close as it can get so far. But so far so good

You may be an addict if you got married in January so as to avoid marital discord due to the rut kicking in. (yeah, I did that! :mrgreen: )

Alternatively,

you know you're an addict if you check this forum every day even though you live in Texas! :roll:
