Top 10 signs you're overprepared

[Ruttin' Buck]

With it being so close to the season, I took it upon myself to create a top 10 list as it pertains to hunt and the fact that many of us go through exhaustive measures to prepare for the hunt.

So here are the "Top 10 signs you're too prepared for this years deer season"

10. You have successfully procured every blaze orange item you plan to wear...including socks and long underwear.

9. You drive to work with the heat off, windows open, and your head out the window to acclimate yourself to stand conditions.

8. You've sighted in your rifle...on a full size deer target.....you forced your son to hold....while he bounds....through a tamarac swamp.

7. You started wiping with a sock...and continue to walk around the rest of the day with 1 sock on.

6. You've replaced your lazy-boy with a deadfall log and your insulated seat cushion.

5. You sit in your new lazy-deadfall speachless for hours while watching tape after tape of whitetail hunts.

4. You can't get the doe-in-heat smell off your fingers.

3. You don't mind #4.

2. You've practiced peeing in a 20 OZ pop bottle....while standing on a 2x4....20 feet up in a tree....and now you can do it with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back.

1. YOU GUYS GET THIS ONE....GOOD WAY TO CONTINUE THIS STRING AND BLOW OFF SOME OF TIME WE HAVE....

#11. You no longer need a man made device for producing a doe bleat, grunt call or a snort. You can do it naturally.

#12: When you decide to wear your long underwear under your hunting bibs for yard work in order to practice the "pull out and stay dry" routine.

#13: When the stock of your gun can be used as a mirror!

Buckblaster, I have an admission to make about the doe pee. I agree. One of these years I'm going to get some deer disease from smelling the stuff. I think it just reminds me of being hunting which brings on happy thoughts.

I personally can not stand the smell of it, it makes me darn near barf! A buck in rut is even worse. It is amazing that I use it anyway...I must be nuts or something!

#16 you have your plastic tarp spread out on the garage floor next to the picnic table with the cutting boards and knives right below the pulley hanging from the rafters

#17 Your wife compains about missing some hangers in her closet and realizes that there are 20 of them hanging in the breezeway with nearly every blaze orange article of clothing imaginable.

#18 You can actually eat Cheetos with the smell of the doe urine on your fingers.

#19 You have your concrete deer lawn ornament loaded up in your truck and are prepared to carry it to the field edge to use as a decoy.

OK. I better stop now. I don't want to admit which ones actually describe myself.

#20 Your wife comes into heat but you don't notice cause your to busy going over your list again and again and again........

#21 You can select the Weather Channel and the Outdoor Channel on the remote in the dark with your eyes closed!

Hey Boar, if she's in heat, collect a few bottles of it and dump it by your tree Sat. morning. I always wanted to try that, but my wife is always way to crabby to ask her to do that when she's in heat If you live through it, let us know how it goes

Would we all be this excited and eager for "Opener" if the deer had guns too???

14. You have been packed for days and then have a dream that you forgot your backpack. This actually happened to me last night. I woke up and told my wife I had a bad dream, after I told her about it she rolled her eyes and gave me a sigh........no compassion I guess.

[can it be luck?]

Setterguy, I cannot believe that you already are dreaming of hunting and of loseing your backpack.....And your wife rolls her eyes, darn that woman! Where's the love?
