If she ever meets any of you aldeer brothers, she's gonna beat y'all to the ground for creating a turkey addicted monster. She said she knows my passion for hunting but never seen anything consume me like this turkey hunting stuff. She said its all y'all's fault and I told her sure it is. I told her I was so ate up with it,if I could I would quit my jobs and chase them silly birds everyday. Lol. She said thank god we don't have turkey around the house because I would totally be useless. Told her she better hope I never kill one cause I'm afraid once I get the taste of turkey blood life as we new it will be a thing of the past!!! So if any of you guys see a 5ft sweet looking woman walkin toward y'all with evil in her eyes turn a run away. You have been warned!!!!

Now would be a good time to quit.

My names Brandon and I'm a addict.

All together now: "Hi Brandon!"

The first step is to know you have a problem.

For the first time in a long while my wife looked at me ther other day and said, "I just don't understand it. You've lost your damn mind. The season hasn't even started", as I told her I was going scouting/listening for about the 5th time in a week.

I told her I know I have a problem but it doesn't bother me. For me the best way to solve a problem is to get rid of it and after I kill all those problem turkeys u will be done. She gave me that strange air head look and shook her head. She just don't understand.

My girlfriend for 3.5 years now knows that during turkey season she takes a backseat. She has no idea how I can love hunting a bird with a pea size brain, but she has kinda learned to accept that it is all that I think about from February to end of April.

I started my wife turkey hunting many years ago. The ONLY time she gets up and moving quickly in on turkey hunting mornings. If I'm sick or working she goes by herself....

TWO addicts is better than just one.....

All this talk of wives and girlfriends and no pics? Rules are rules

first things first...... you got any pics of said wife?

That way we can know when she coming.

I sat my wife down in 1974 and explained to her that I would lose my mind every spring, and if she couldn't live with that, then don't marry me. She went thru with it, but I still have to occasionally remind her that she was warned before the wedding.

I can't believe what some of the younger guys post on here, like "I gotta ask my wife/gf if I can go." I seldom comment on such threads; just shake my head and move on.

And the poor guys that don't know any better than to schedule a wedding during hunting season are the worst. Weddings should take place in either August or February. If you schedule it any other month, your life is already ruined and you just don't know it yet.

Well my name is Terry,and I am also an addict,and bout to fall off the wagon.this is not a plea for help,just let me be!

Got married in June. My two girls were born March 1st and August 2nd.

PCP I done the same thing 2001 but I also covered deer and turkey hunting. I basically said I would be totally useless 8 months out of the year. I explained very clearly that 4 months out of the year would be 100% her time to do with me as she wished. She agreed to marry me and have been happily married 13 years this month. They don�t make many �models� like her off the assembly line because she is the only one I have ever met that could handle my job and hunting addiction.

I also can�t believe some of these younger guys that have to �ask permission�. I made it very clear to my wife before we married there would be no such thing happening in our marriage. We would discuss my plans and if there was an issue with those plans there would be further discussion and compromise. No issue, no further discussion!!

Yes, I agreed to get married March 17th but it was before the DNR changed the season to the 15th. We were poor back then so I didn�t have to worry about going on a big honey moon. We still go out on a anniversary date the day of if I�m home from work but anything bigger than that I have a pass to make up after turkey season closes.

You, sir; are a great American and role model.

Po Preacher tha man

She said she would really like to meet that guy who spells backwards who sent me all those turkey calls. Said its the most annoying sound she ever heard.

Since I believe you are new to the game, like me......They say "wait til one hangs up just out of range and walks off to really find out how bad it will get"

When we were dating, I was pretty hard to get along with. My buddies and I were either hunting or fishing all the time. During duck season I was workin at a hunting camp as a guide. A bunch of my buddies had camps around us and after hunt I would go what we called camp hoping and drink all afternoon and most of the night. I may be gone weeks at a time out in the marsh. Me being gone didnt bother as much as all the drinkin and runnin round in the boats all hours of the night drunk. Well as time went on she started getting real upset with my hunting and fishing and that I would not spend time with her. Times were bad for her. When we decided to get married she asked me if I would slow down on my hunting and fishing and drinking. I told her she had to make a decision,
Either I hunt and fish or I drink and needed to know which she wanted. She chose hunting and fishing. I don't duck hunt anymore and very seldom fish without them. She never complains about me deer hunting or goin to camp in alabama. Now she gets concerned that if I don't go huntin if something is wrong with me.
Oh ya got married on June 27 between huntin season and rice harvest season. Lol
