Do you forgo hunting to watch college football?

[Bubba_1122]

Yeah I forgot to mention that as well. I can leave my house at 0500 and be in a ladder stand by 0530...a climber by 0545.

I'm with you on that. It's ~7 miles from my driveway to the gate at my hunting club. Pretty simple process for me to be in a stand too, which is pretty awesome.

I love the Dawgs and the Falcons! But only because they keep my wife occupied while I go hunting on the weekends. I'm not missing time in the woods to watch ANY game unless my kids are playing in it.

 

[KyDawg]

I got plenty of time to do both, so I dont have to make that decision. If the Dawgs are playing I am watching.

You’re way better than most. I still have a few bucks haunt me because the wind switched and one I just flat out picked the wrong pin! What makes that one worse is I swore I hit him and kept waiting for him to fall. And too make that even WORSE...I watched him through crosshairs on my “hog gun” looking for blood!! Wanted him with a bow. Saw him several more times that season through crosshairs and he disappeared February after the season ended (last trail cam pic) and was a no show last season. I’m still kicking myself over him!

I can get over the BullDawgs losing by Sunday morning heading to the deer stand.

I hear ya! I took a shot at what would have been my biggest deer a few years ago with a crossbow. I rushed the shot and missed high, hit him through the top of his back in "no mans land". Had a couple pin-pricks of blood, hair and fat. We tracked and did everything possible to look for him and no dice. Yes, I was frustrated but only at myself for making a rushed shot.

I don't know why but I'm just able move on faster from that than I am football!

BTW, I won't be in the woods during the UGA-Notre Dame game.

It's an 8PM kickoff. I'll be in the woods and back home in time for it unless I kill one.

I won't hunt that weekend at all. I'm going to see the braves Friday night and watch the DAWGS SAT. night!! Also, It's Sept.and it's to hot for me!!!!to hunt.

If I miss a hunt, I can never get it back. CFB games can be recorded and watched later. The results won’t change. If I watch the game instead of hunting, I will never get to see and experience what went on around my stand. There’s no replay for that.

 

[660griz]

No. I hunt.

There’s no replay when family is gone either...

I hunt with family. And watch the ‘Noles on replay after we get back from camp.

 

[LittleDrummerBoy]

NEVER. NOT EVEN ONCE.

 

[lonewolf247]

Hunt over football any day!

 

[Danuwoa]

I used to. Now I’m not nearly as inclined to. I’d rather be in the woods.

 

[trad bow]

I’m either on lake or in the woods. Much rather live my life than watching someone else live theirs. If home I’ll be out side in yard or fooling with my bird dog.

 

[ugajay]

I watch UGA every time I can work permitting. I consider watching a football game with friends and family I dearly love "living my life"

 

[Duff]

Honestly, for years I would never miss a hunt. I guess age and lack of drive has caught up to me. Now, it's what ever mood I'm in. If I want to hunt, I do. If I want to watch the game, I do. If I want to stay at camp and cook or throw horseshoes, I do.

No right answer imo

 

[Squadron77]

I always kill a doe in the morning and then go home and watch the game.

 

[tbonestep]

Exactly!!! It amazes me that delusional Dawg fans still get upset when Georgia chokes (which is every season). That'd be like staying with a woman after she's cheated on you 10 times and then getting upset when she does it again!!! Doesn't make a lick of sense. I have guys at my club that will stay in to watch The Georgia Chihuahuas during the rut!!! Get real.

But you still love us.

 

[Ray357]

With most college football teams playing their games on Saturday afternoon/evening, do you stay home to watch your favorite team or games, and not go hunting?
You could go deer hunting, or watch college football, which do you do?

Since the BLM activists hijacked College football,bI don't watch it. Last year when hunting and Clemson conflicted, I listened to game on radio in deer stand.

 

[rstallings1979]

I lose sleep over seeing a big deer and not getting a shot or missing. I do not lose sleep over my alma mater UGA losing to Alabama for the tenth time in a row.

I will hunt over watching football 8 days a week. Now my family comes first so pre covid I would carry my kids to at least one game a year. I usually made sure that game was an early season game though....
