Am I the only one who hates Daylite Savings Time?

[cavalierowner]

That is, the change happening on opening weekend? It really bugs me to have to deal with changing clocks and adjusting my body clock right in the middle of opening weekend. I always worry about getting the clock and/or alarm setting screwed up. But I guess I'm going to have to suck it up and deal with it, it's probably going to stay that way in the foreseeable future.

[jerkbait]

Nope. I would like to see it just go away. Pick one and just leave it alone. Still don't understand the whole purpose of daylight savings time.

[mrklean]

i hate it always have always will

[JBar]

I guess never thought of it as a burdon just is what it is I guess. Good luck on opener fellas.

[CrappieAttitude]

Just need to go to bed earlier! Do the sleep math and adjust. Good luck everyone and be safe.

i use my smartphone as my alarm clock. it thought daylight savings time was this last saturday (the old daylight savings date before they moved it a few years ago). royally screwed up my morning bow hunt when i woke up an hour late.

How does it screw up your body clock? You still can shoot a half hour before sunset until a half hour after. Hunting is actually one of the few things not affected by daylight savings time. Work on the other hand is. The time you start working changes by an hour of body clock time.

Sunday morning will come quicker, other than that no big deal to me.

[DooWap]

It doesn't bother me at all because the sun is still going to rise at the "same time", not an hour earlier. The only thing that has changed is the time on the clock. I don't even bother to change the clock on the alarm that Sunday and just plan on waking up at the same time as Saturday. There are actually less adjustments to make for hunting than there would be if you had to get up and go to work.

[NoWiser]

I kind of like it falling on that weekend. As others mentioned, you wake up according to sunrise/sunset, not the time on the clock. I don't bother changing the clock until I get out of the woods, which will be Sunday of second weekend this year. Then I "gain" my hour of sleep the first day I'm back at work.

[bigbucks]

I think that's the perfect time to change personally. I was going to be on stand with the sun anyway & I'll be so tired I'll have NO problem going to bed early.

[sticknstring]

Hate it! Takes away my evening hunt and forces me to hunt mornings during the week!

[Fever]

We actually gain an hour of sleep so it's a good thing. Not really a big deal as others have already said what matters... shooting light.

[Bear55]

Like everyone else had says, it really doesn't affect hunting, you are in the stand the same time every morning regardless of what the clock says. I pretty much set all my clocks back friday night and forget about it.

[Walleye Guy]

How do you gain an hour of sleep? You roll the clocks back an hour but the sun comes up an hour earlier. If you are hunting by the sunrise/sunset it makes no difference in what time the clock says.

[Red Miller]

Well...youre right. You dont gain the hour of sleep until you come back from deer camp and are reacclaimated back into society..

BINGO

Daylight saving time saves electricity since lights are not on as long in home and on streets ect. I don't reset till I leave deer camp on tues. night!

[Bear55]

and are reacclaimated back into society..

I hate that part.

[swedishpimple]

I like it......wish it was year round.

[nwhunter]

I hate that part.

+1

[cavalierowner]

I know it shouldn't matter, but I can't seem to get myself to not watch the clock that the rest of the state watches. Even now that I'm retired, I still watch that stupid clock! Somehow I have to break myself of that. On the plus side, I did manage to lose an entire day a few weeks ago!!

[Red Miller]

I hate that part.

Make that +2

Personally, I think DST is worthy of complaint two weeks a year and doesn't make a carp worth of difference for the other 50.
