You might be an elk hunting addict if........

[WapitiTalk1]

Similar to Jeff Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck" theme, let's get this running as it pertains your, my, our elk hunting addiction. Jump in and post up a couple if you wish.

Sample entry/post:

"If you suddenly drop to all fours outside the movie theatre to further examine a handful of milk duds for freshness, you might be...…"

Let's hear em!

[Rainier10]

You might be an elk hunting addict if you prefer the smell of elk urine to cologne.

[vandeman17]

If you think the calendar really only has 2 months, september and all the rest

[7mmfan]

... if you plan your baby making around September and October.

[2MANY]

Funny stuff.
I've done that twice now.

[bracer40]

If every camping trip involves scouting for elk...

... if you plan your baby making around September and October.

Hahaha guilty 2x for me. Last hunting season for me ends nov 30. Both my kiddos came from first 2 weeks of December lol

[Cougartail]

You have your kid panhandling on the street corner for gas money so you can go scouting.

[huntnfmly]

You might be an elk hunting addict if you prefer the smell of elk urine to cologne.

Or even walking by a cow barn and taking a big whiff and smiling same smell

[Yelper Guy]

You construct a "fake" wallow in your backyard, hoping to attract a herd, but you're miles from elk country.
And you didn't ask your wife for permission first!

[Oldguy]

If you put your hunting clothes in a garbage bag with an elk hide that you've saved in the freezer from last season.

[wadu1]

If every camping trip involves practicing cow calls or bugling. And it's fun to bug the tree huggers while doing it

If your internet handle is "Wapiti Talk #1"

[cooltimber]

Handle is COOLTIMBER,1st area i look for elk

[WapitiTalk1]

If your internet handle is "Wapiti Talk #1"

Was waiting for that; shoulda figured it would be you. Guilty as charged...

[Bullkllr]

Every high-pitched, hollow whistling sound you hear causes you to prick up your ears and crane your neck to pin point it's location.

[elksnout]

You might be an elk hunting addict if you......visualize shot placement on every elk , elk photograph, elk painting or statue you come across. But I wouldn't know.

Elksnout

[Alchase]

Every time you hear a bull elk bugle in a movie, and you know Bulls don't bugle at that time of year or that location there are no elk.

Or

You think Cow in estrus scent, should be sold as a women's cologne 

[Buckjunkie]

Your wife has a recurring dream that you are at the altar when her dad walks her down the isle. On the other isle is a giant bull. You have to choose between her and the bull. She wakes up before she knows which one you choose. Going to the grave with my answer.

[blackveltbowhunter]

Your wife's birthday is September 12th and all you needed to give to bring a tear to her eye was show up.

...... If that was followed by a slap because she saw the antlers in the back of the truck 

[kselkhunter]

If your wife has threatened to divorce you 7200 times for practicing elk calls in the house and driving the dogs crazy.

Seriously though my wife is an angel.  Our wedding anniversary is September 8th, and she knows that I'm hunting in multiple states most of September and early October.  She refers to herself as a "hunting widow".  I hunt Oregon archery first half of September every year, and WA for muzzy elk every year.   She is still married to me after all these years. 

And her ringtone for me is an elk bugle.....there is no question in my household what my favorite animal to hunt is.....

[WapitiTalk1]

You guys are nailing this. I knew I could count on the motley crew of HuntWa to understand this topic 

[CastleRocker]

If one of the reasons you married the person you did was...so she could call for you!  (She claims it's easier for a woman to call a bull in, because that's what women are born to do...)

[Tbar]

You call in a mature bull then head back to camp because you don't want the hunt to end.

[kselkhunter]

Ok.  You win.  Best answer so far.   

[Skillet]

You might be an elk hunting addict if...

When your girlfriend mentions she's excited to try out her new diaphragm, you automatically think she's talking Primos.

And you're a little disappointed when you realize she isn't.

Winner winner Chicken dinner! Get that guy a diaphragm of his liking. Or one of each!

[elkchaser54]

You might be an elk hunter  if your Calendars start and end in September and every other month after is just a countdown back to September 1. .

Rmef should sell calenders that go by hunting season. 

[nwwanderer]

if a new baby traveled for a elk hunt at age two days

[NW SURVEYOR]

If you bid survey projects (Or other types of work) at cost or lower so that you can scout the area.

[MAVsled]

in this day & age of recent non-resident tag restrictions, you keep applying for archery bull tag as NR DIY year after year in multiple states and not draw for going on 13 years now...

got my last taste in NMex 15 years ago. Previously a rifle hunt in CO unit 61 some 30 years ago.
now 13 years applying AZ, UT, NM, CO-61 without a hit.

very expensive habit.

[bracer40]

You carry a bugle tube in your car for practice sessions!

[blackveltbowhunter]

You take a shed for your comfort animal when your wife is in labor..... You picked up the shed before you left to the hospital.

You can't remember your own birthday,  but can name the date, location, time, event, weather conditions, barometric pressure, moon phase,  hillside, GPS coordinates, who was present, what weapon you used, how far the shot was, and what underwear you had on for every elk you have ever harvested. And double for the misses.

When you are feeling frisky, and you tell her you are in the Rut

Just do not pee all over yourself before a night with your lady, I have heard they do not not like that, most don't anyway.
