"If you ___________________, you might be an Elknut." Popcorn ready, here we go. Kind of like Jeff Foxworthy's you might be a redneck :D

If a squeaky screen door makes you pause because you think you hear a cow, you may be an elknut ;)

If you wake up in the middle of the night, during the late summer several times each week, and think your gear list needs to be gone over again....for the 23d time, and the urge to pour over your topo maps yet again grips you like a pair of visegrips by flashlight in bed you may be an elknut :roll:

You wake your neighbors practicing with your bugle.........

Your family is relieved when you head to elk camp.......

Your hat smells like an elks rear end......

You practice with your mouth call while driving.

no big deal on the freeway but at a stop sign you do get some long stares.

If the smell of elk urine gets you excited, you might be an elknut.

If you've ever uttered the phrase "well, it doesn't get too dark to shoot for 20 minutes, let's go after him", you may be an elknut.

Good ones guys!

Your wife has ever kicked you outside for bugling too much in the house...

In hunting season baby wipes count as a shower...

If you've ever had a peanut butter and bacon sandwich (or jerky ramen soup) :)

If you see absolutely nothing wrong with wearing new hunting boots in the evening around the house and out in the yard for all to see, with legs like an anorexic albino emu, you may be an elknut. You can see the embarrasement on Oscar's face.....

If you practice nervous grunts in the bathroom at work.... and have to give shrugs and strange looks to the bewildered co-workers on the way out.

You guys have it bad. If you invite a couple of guys you've never met before off an internet forum (Hunt Washington) to "swing on by" tomorrow to practice elk sounds, you may be an Elknut ;)

If you listen to Elknuts Playbook on CD while driving on vacation .......

If you think a Spike, a Martian, and a yearling Bull are different words for the same thing .....

If you can recite the hunting regulations for more than one state .....

If you own more than 5 packs .....

If you use a pop'n grunt to stop the elk .....

hey this is fun!
