you can't find your truck keys but can easily point out a tan rump patch 500 yds away in thick brush.  Bonus points for spending 30 minutes trying to get everyone else with you to be able to locate the same rump patch.

You can spend a couple of weeks in the woods in all kinds of nasty cold weather, hiking around in the mud ,snow and wind and enjoying it. Yet can't bring your self to go out to the mailbox or walk the dog, if it's chilly and sprinkling  .

You are going for a walk… could be anywhere, deep in the woods or the Burke Gilman trail….  You faintly detect a smell, could be pee…. Stop, freeze, flare your nostrils like a a bird dog on a track….

Regardless of back, open heart, and knee surgeries you seem to find your way up a mountain every OCT.  You are deemed insane by your spouse because a month ago you could not mow the grass

Your addicted to Google Earth looking for pocket meadow's and spot's that could hold wallows... while hoping to find those few and far between images of live elk to re affirm you are in fact an elk country expert.

You have practiced abstinence, from Cristmas to February because its the only way to guarantee no babys in September!

you start checking Craig's list in late summer for free refrigerators to line the walls in your garage in case you kill an elk so you can put the quarters in them---then your wife comes out and asks why we have so many "beer" fridges
