You know your a hunter if

If your idea of a "blind" is poking holes in yer window screens in the rooms that give you a strategic advantage...

Your family knows to plan everything(including weddings) around the deer rut season. Your wifes sexy lingerie is camo`d.;)
 
I can related to this.

Pay for EVERYTHING (including wife's lasik eye surgery and kids daycare) with your Cabela's credit card so you can get the points...
I even use my for buying equipment and materials for my jobs (I'm a contractor, so that really racks up those points fast; about $2500 worth last year :) )
Plan your cross country trip so you can swing by a Cabela's along the way.
And Bass Pro Shops, Gander Mountain, etc.
Know the dates of each season opener, but are a little vague on your kids birthday
And the wife's birthday, and the anniversary, and ....
 
You know you are a hunter if:

If you are more worried about your wife finding your new hunting equipment stash than you are about her finding your porn stash!:D
 
We were driving to church the other morning when a deer ran into the road, stopped, then jumped into the brush by the side of the road and watched us. As we slowly drove by looking at her, my 4 year old daughter said "I want a little gun so I can shoot a baby deer". My wife glared at me, but it was right then that I knew I was raising my kids right.
 
You know you are a "Hunter" when you see a monster buck in the bush while driving to-from hunting camp and the notion of shooting it then & there is as remote as robbing a bank.
You know you are a hunter when you come home after a long day in the duck blind and only fired a couple of shots and still are excited about the alarm clock going off the next morning.
 
I found this and had to bump it up.

You know your a hunter when.............

Your 8 and 11 year old daughters know how to use a deer call and rattlin bag.

Your daughters talk about shooting a buck and hanging it on the wall of their bedroom.

You use all your vacation time during hunting season

Your girlfriend already knows not to even think about planning a wedding between the bigining of October and the end of January.

You are running late to an event but still turn around to get another look at the buck standing in the feild.
 
I'll keep it going

You know you're a hunter if:

You run out of deodorant and rather than wasting your scent free stuff you opt for your wife's Secret (foo foo smelling stuff).

You blow a duck, goose, turkey, or grunt call while at work and EVERYONE knows who did it.

You went to the upper pennisula of michigan for your honey moon the end of September and had to sneek off to go scouting for deer.

Anyone who draws your name for the family gift exchange buys you a Gander Mountain or Bass Pro gift card.
 
I'll go against the grain and say Dipper's answers are a kill-joy!:eek: Talk about putting to much into a simple question where everyone else is throwing out funnies. Guess I'm not in a mood for philisophical debate today (kinda tired of it between the internet, news and politics). A lot of the other responces were dang funny. Those are what I like. Keep em coming.

My old thread come back from the dead pile....

New one:

You buy the kids .22s for Christmas, but they have to be bolt-action .22s so they can build muscle memory for when they move up to a hunting caliber....
 
Ouch! I'll not admit to how many of these actually pertain! But my favorite is:
Pay for EVERYTHING (including wife's lasik eye surgery and kids daycare) with your Cabela's credit card so you can get the points...
I didn't know there was any other kind of credit card!
 
Have a custom license plate related to hunting (BowElk, 1Elk4U)

Have ever taken "leave without pay" to hunt becuase you did not have enough vacation days

Told your boss you would have to quit if they didn't let you take leave without pay

Everything in your big freezer is either wrapped in butcher paper or vacuum sealed

Your big freezer is organized by species (top shelf - elk, middle shelf deer, bottom shelf - various critters, basket drawer - all ground meat)

You have at least some ammo for all hunting weapons in your truck at all times (box of 7s for birds, some 30-30, some 30-06), in case you forget to pack it.....

You have a tape of elk bugling in the truck and listen and practice on the way to work

Umm...sumthin' out of the ordinary with those? *shrug*

I've quit jobs because they wouldn't let me off work to go hunting. I just told 'em to let me know before I left if I needed to come back.

My freezer is just about as you describe...organized by my wife. Top shelf is odds-'n-ends, middle shelf is chicken (I butchered a bunch last summer and vaccuum sealed them), bottom shelf is buffalo, and the basket is ground buffalo.

The door has a little of everything, including a couple of furs I still need to stretch.

I have a "hunting bag" in my truck that includes camoflage, ammo, face masks, predator calls, and extra magazines for the rifles that use a "clip". Heck, it even has a day or two worth of non-perishable food in it most of the time, a flashlight, water purification tablets, and matches.

No elk tapes though; I've pretty much mastered the calling thing.

If....

You follow a bird with your finger......

You put ziplock bags of water in sox for your Lab to fetch....

You find a feather out in the field and carry it back home to try to identify the bird....

You carry a compass when you go out scouting because sometimes you wonder way too far.....

You sit on your back deck checking out all the squirrels playing around in your walnut trees trying to identify their gender.......

You only know 3 ways to cook chicken but have 20+ recipes for quail.....

You're pondering which kind of corn is a deer's favorite while planning your garden for next spring.........

You're wondering how much fatter that ol' groundhog needs to be before you get it in a pot.......... (dern critter feasted on my turnips this year)
 
You know you're a hunter when...

-The wind is faster than your truck.

- Every vehicle you purchase is a 4x4.

- before the sun comes up you start looking for your gun.

- In March, your vehicle is 43% mud.

- You installed your new computer using a Leatherman tool.

- The elevation where you live exceeds the population.

- You can see the stars at night.

- You got a set of snow tires for Valentines Day.

- The bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house.

- Your back yard smells like sagebrush and dead animals.

- You can fish, gut a deer, and scout new country all in the same day if you try hard enough.

- You wave to someone on the freeway because you recognize the truck.

- In the fall, every other car you pass is a 4X4.

- Maps, gloves and cartridges are kept in your vehicle's "jocky box."

- You know why people pay good money to watch "The Outdoor Channel."
 
You plan your vacation time around rifle season.

Your truck has a Realtree license bracket, steering wheel cover, floormats, & seatcovers.

Every hat you own is camo colored.

Your great room has pictures of bucks on the walls rather than family photos or decorative art work.

Your 4x4 truck is made by GM, Ford, or Dodge.

You own more guns than your woman does shoes.
 
The thanksgiving pics you post were of butchering a deer! (Did that one) there is a set of jaws from a blacktip shark in your freezer waiting to be bleached!
 
You return from hunting muddy, bloody and smelling like a week old gut pile, your wife makes you undress on the freezing back porch. After being allowed inside the first thing you do is wipe down your rifle, in the kitchen, in your drawers.....
