This weekend I was informed by a fellow hunt club member that we would be at a real big advantage on todays (sunday) hunt because the deer would be off thier normal pattern by a hour due to day light savings change. He also stated that it would take them a few days to get use to it. I about fell out of my chair with laughter, but held it together. Out of respect I just sat quietly and laughed inside, and could not wait to get on here and post. I guess deer around here must wear watches and have a set schedule to go to the food plots... that dang day light savings time!!

When I started to read that, I thought you were going to say that you buy into that nonsense. I think your buddy is "moonstruck".

It had a big effect. The buck i shot this morning was killed at 0704 and not 0804. he still thought it was 8 in the morning, but it was only 7. and seven is a luck number.

I'm almost speechless, because I never thought of this!

Gee I wonder how they get those big hooves around a watch stem to pull it out to change the time (analog watch) or hit those tiny buttons on the digitals.
Never mind, problem solved. They buy those atomic watches that change themselves. Oops nother problem. Where the heck are they getting their money form to buy the watch in the first place?
