The No-Shame Thread

You obviously live down south. Lol. I’m jealous. My grandsons the picture. He’s almost a year and a half old. Raising them right. They sent me a picture first because they knew how excited I’d be.

Not jealous! crocs are synonymous w/thermacell hunting (I hate mosquitoes)
 
I prefer to refer to whitetails and turkeys as Pine Goats and Pine Pidgeons for unknown reasons.[/QUOTE]

I refer to deer as forest puppies. Only because that’s what my dog calls them.
 
This thread is the only thing in my life that makes me feel normal.

I would make fun of somebody if I saw them carrying the stuff I take with me hunting.

I just started saddle hunting and every time I go I feel like I’m at a store holding my wife’s purse. Until I see a deer then I feel like 007.

Hunting gives me anxiety yet I still consider it a break from real life.

I have talked myself out of setting up in so many spots in one hunt that it gets dark and all I did was walk around. Then I go back home and pretend I was hunting.

My best midday tactic is to try to upload porn sites in areas with little to no signal. I have seen some of the biggest bucks using this strategy.
 
After a few years of using JUST saddles exclusively i started using my treestands again after using my Trophyline Mission and rediscovering the joys of a larger platform.

Nothing like being able to turn around and actually sit down on a seat after leaning into a saddle for a couple hours.

I also leave some out and there is nothing nicer than just walking out and climbing up the tree with zero set up.
 
I still hunt from the ground more than from my tree saddle; because carrying everything sucks and I'm tired.

Whenever I go hunting with family or friends (who are smelly and noisy hunters), I just sleep in my stand and say I never saw anything... which is true.

When my wife is at work and I'm watching the kids, I let them watch TV while I get in my saddle and practice my DRT climbing in the living room (we have a suspension trainer with ceiling mount to connect to).

I pretend to have IBS so I can read and comment on this forum.

I say I don't care about my camo pattern or if it matches, but I make sure it's all the same Approach FX pattern from Badlands.

I'm never in the woods before/after legal shooting light because I'm terrified of the woods at night.

I tell my wife I only have 2 weeks of vacation, when in reality I have 3. Which I strategically split up throughout October to hunt.

I bought an FHF bino harness because I never saw Steve Rinella wearing my old one.

I never poop in the woods because I never have and don't know how.

It was supposed to be a joke and a play on words...Is that even a valid website? I spaced it out on purpose so it wouldn't auto-link because I was afraid of where it might take someone. :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

It's going to happen eventually, whether you're ready or not. Have a plan.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Carry at least 5 baby wipes in your kill kit. One for each hand, one for your knife, and two for emergency purposes. Someday you will thank me for this... :D
