Guest Mark_85 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I got my Deer & Deer hunting magazine for october 2008. They have an article in there for antler illness. Rate yourself from 1-10 1 being lowest 10 being the highest. then add up to see where you fall in the chart. 1. I would flat out lie to my boss or spouse so I could leave work early / come home late to scout an area where a big buck was spotted. 2. I would hunt 10 minutes after legal shooting hours if I knew doing so would dramatically increase my chances of killing a trophy buck. 3. I would lie to my spouse about how much money I spend on deer hunting. 4. I would hold out on my hunting buddy if I knew where a trophy buck was camped out. 5. I would sit in another hunter's stand if I thought it was a better-placed than mine and was positive he would not find out. 6. On bucks "I let walk" I embelish antler size to my friends. 7. At seasons end, I feel embarassed if i,m holding an unfilled buck tag. 8.. I'm jealous when a friend, relative or neighbor kills a giant buck. 9. I'd gladly trade places with my favorite television show host. 10. I'd trade one year of my life to harvest the next world record whitetail. 0-30: deer hunting sainthood 31-50: Healthy obsession 51-70: Consider therapy 71-90 Very little hope 91-100: Take up another sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 maybe i did this wrong. i got a 1 for most questions, because a zero was not an option. on question 4 and 9 i got a 10. that means a 28 total score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 1. I would flat out lie to my boss or spouse so I could leave work early / come home late to scout an area where a big buck was spotted. I'd lie to my boss to go hunting, but not scout. 2. I would hunt 10 minutes after legal shooting hours if I knew doing so would dramatically increase my chances of killing a trophy buck. No way. 3. I would lie to my spouse about how much money I spend on deer hunting. Nope 4. I would hold out on my hunting buddy if I knew where a trophy buck was camped out. Nope again. 5. I would sit in another hunter's stand if I thought it was a better-placed than mine and was positive he would not find out. Nope. 6. On bucks "I let walk" I embelish antler size to my friends. Only one friend because he does it to me. And no it's not Ohiobucks. 7. At seasons end, I feel embarassed if i,m holding an unfilled buck tag. Nope 8.. I'm jealous when a friend, relative or neighbor kills a giant buck. Maybe just a bit. 9. I'd gladly trade places with my favorite television show host. Nope. 10.

elkoholic Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Pathetic. Lying, unethical "hunters" all in the pursuit of antlers. Just what we need, another "mental disease". I think this fascination with antlers has gone too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 As I've aged I believe I'm a better hunter, husband, and worker. I answered 1's on all except 9 which I gave a 5. I know some people that have turned their passions into a career and ended up not being as passionate. Now if the questions stated "have you ever..." my score would be a lot higher.

Randy Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Pathetic. Lying, unethical "hunters" all in the pursuit of antlers. Just what we need, another "mental disease". I think this fascination with antlers has gone too far. did you ever consider that this "test" was made up by PETA? or their ilk? i did. I actually saw this article myself. I think it supposed to be meant as a joke. I believe they thought more people would score higher and need to seek counseling for their "addiction".

Hoosierbuck Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 1. I would flat out lie to my boss or spouse so I could leave work early / come home late to scout an area where a big buck was spotted. Don't have to, but I might if I did. 2. I would hunt 10 minutes after legal shooting hours if I knew doing so would dramatically increase my chances of killing a trophy buck. Nope, I would get caught or feel worse if I didn't. 3. I would lie to my spouse about how much money I spend on deer hunting. Not if I was asked directly, but she loves me so she doesn't ask. 4. I would hold out on my hunting buddy if I knew where a trophy buck was camped out. Don't have to- we each have our own honey holes and don't hunt the other guys' spots. 5. I would sit in another hunter's stand if I thought it was a better-placed than mine and was positive he would not find out. Don't have to, see previous answer. 6. On bucks "I let walk" I embelish antler size to my friends. Not necessary. 7. At seasons end, I feel embarassed if i,m holding an unfilled buck tag. Nope, it happens. 8.. I'm jealous when a friend, relative or neighbor kills a giant buck. No, just happy for them. 9. I'd gladly trade places with my favorite television show host. Only while they are on stand. That life doesn't look family friendly to me. 10. I'd trade one year of my life to harvest the next world record whitetail. Only if it can be the one where I am sick and feel like crap. The circumstances around here make a lot of the se questions moot. We hunt private property owned by other people, by and large. I have my spots I have gotten permission on, my buddies have theirs. Where we overlap, we talk about it if we want to move stands or sit another guy's spot. Maybe it is because we don't overlap much, but we don't compete. We encourage each other and help track, drag, etc. We surely want to knock down big bucks, but we recognize our own success or failure to get him doesn't change our standing with each other. That's just silly. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 1. I would flat out lie to my boss or spouse so I could leave work early / come home late to scout an area where a big buck was spotted. No. Don't believe in lieing. 2. I would hunt 10 minutes after legal shooting hours if I knew doing so would dramatically increase my chances of killing a trophy buck. No. Texas has a very liberal limit on shooting hours. 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. Beyond that it gets dangerous. 3. I would lie to my spouse about how much money I spend on deer hunting. Not married, but I wouldn't lie to her if I was. 4. I would hold out on my hunting buddy if I knew where a trophy buck was camped out. No, I like to video every buck I see and then share that with my hunting buddies. 5. I would sit in another hunter's stand if I thought it was a better-placed than mine and was positive he would not find out. Yes, on the properties I hunt everyone can hunt from any stand that's not already occupied. No one "owns" any particular stand. 6. On bucks "I let walk" I embelish antler size to my friends. Can't, they're on video. 7. At seasons end, I feel embarassed if i,m holding an unfilled buck tag. I always have one or two unfilled tags, sometimes three. (allowed 3 bucks) 8. I'm jealous when a friend, relative or neighbor kills a giant buck. No, I love it. 9. I'd gladly trade places with my favorite television show host. Maybe for a couple of months during the Fall. 10. I'd trade one year of my life to harvest the next world record whitetail. I think I'd rather have that "extra" year to enjoy one more hunting season.

GWSmith Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Happy to see peoples the NO answers to question: 2. I would hunt 10 minutes after legal shooting hours if I knew doing so would dramatically increase my chances of killing a trophy buck. Though I'm sure a majority of us would stay in a stand, though no longer hunting, well into the dark hour to keep from spooking nearby game;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
