Elk Hunt Countdown Timer

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 08 01, 2012 •  [Post 1]

Thought you guys may get a kick out of this... Select the date you leave for your hunt and the timer counts down days, hours, minutes till you start your hunt :) RJ

Elk Hunt Countdown Timer

Postby Freebird134 » 08 01, 2012 •  [Post 2]

I've had an app counting down on my laptop for weeks!!! Hahah. I'm so bad with the "only x days left" that my parents, friends, and coworkers just ask "so how many days?" whenever we talk.

I have a buddy who makes a paper chain each year...

I'm already having a hard enough time focusing on work, I can't add anything else to the current state of distraction :)

Great idea Eltaco. But this simply would not work for me. I still have 3,542,400 seconds till I can shoot... Wait 3,542,399 oh...
