Thats a good buy!

I am. I can admit it, I’m a big boy and admitting that you have an addiction is the first step to getting other people addicted too… or something like that. I talk about, plan, shop for and watch videos about hunting all year long. For me, the last day of the season is the first day of preseason.
Great score with the canoe. It is nice to know that there is someone else who “makes it work” when it comes to hunting gear. I’m sure you will put a lot of ducks in your “duck boat”. After all, the ducks don’t really care how nice the boat is.

I guess you all feel the same about ducks as I do Deer. The first thought in my head a 12:00 am begining day of season out is preseason. I dont think I ever stop thinking about when is my next hunt and what can I do to make the next one even better. Im not a trophy hunter, But I have plans for when my frezer is full to take the time for that big monster white tail buck. If I lived in near mule deer country or elk country or moose country or could just afford to travle I would. I dream about it day and night. nothing is better than seeing your own breath in shooting light waiting on your prey. Its not the kill that makes the hunt worth while. its the hunt itself. the the Moment of truth. There he is. In range, broad sided and looking right at you. Your weapon aimed and you are squeezing the trigger or loosing the string. Just then the world stops moving so fast and you its all in slow motion. Impact. the scent of blood fills the air and you know your prize is won, then comes the adrinalin dump and you can hardly stand from the aftermath of the climax. Its almost like that three letter s word. Well almost. You Swallow your heart and get down from you stand or up from your ground blind and follow the blood if it happened to run from where you shot it. and then you see it. That steam rising from the warm blood of your kill against the cold frosted air and you claim your prize.. Now you know why its an addiction. please excuse any typographical errors. and I cant spell every darn word I use so dont laugh to hard.

its also 511 in the am and Im up. been up sence 4 am and its because opening day is just around the corner and Im getting me used to the early morning wakeup call of the alarm Clock. Who needs H.A. any ways.

Addiction is loosely defined as the obsession and compulsion to partake in some behavior...good or bad. And as NPAUL said the first step in recognizing and working on my addiction is to admit that I'm an addict. OKAY I admit it. There with that out of the way I can now determine if my obsessive and compulsive behavior hurts me or anyone else....NOPE !!! can't say that it does. SO,no need to work on my addiction..it's working just fine for me. I LOVE my hunting,fishing,camping addiction and love even more when I come out of my FOG even if temporarily,because I gain awareness of all the neat little gadgets and gizmos that I bought and bartered for while I was out of my head !!! Kinda like Christmas morning several times a year. Ahhhh... The life of an addict !!! LOL LOL !!! The therapeutic benefit of one addict helping another is without parallel so to all my fellow addicts..you too Josh, I'm with ya' man and can completely relate to what you're going through !!! Good hunting to ALL !
