If I remember correctly we are going back to the normal clock time in the fall and start dst in the spring.  This got started in the Big War to allow more work to be accomplished without the use of artifical lighting.  That is the story I heard, anyway.  Funny, how we get accustomed to nice conviences.

I don;t think about the time as much when I'm in the woods or headed to the woods as I can see when it's getting light enough to shoot and when its too dark to shoot in the evenings.

It just means I have to switch watches.

I found it easier to switch watches than to try to reset them..lol

God bless,Mudd

I don't like it because I don't like to go to work in the dark and come back in the dark.  I would rather turn the clock the other way an hour so I could do something when I get home during the work week.  I am very happy that they pushed the date of the change farther into the fall.  

It could be dark until noon as far as I am concerned.  Then I could sleep in on my days off and still make it into my stand by sun up. I could hunt till 10 at night.  That would be great.

I get on a 5 AM get up schedule early in the hunting season and kind of stay on it.  Got up way earlier than I need to this morning, but next week I will be right on schedule again.

NO, don't like the change! Like said earlier, depending on what part of the country, and the shift you work, it does mess with your schedule!

Indiana was one of 3 states, up until a few years ago, who didn't change. Then our great state goverment, said changing, would bring more jobs to us! Tell that to the unemployed along the state line of Illinois.

Change is Always good, isn't it?

That's why we are Traditional?

Good shootin,

Steve

I leave for work at 0400 and get back home at 1900........that pretty well takes care of the day for me. Of course, I don't work 5 days a week either.

Getting up earlier and returning home earlier from hunts makes it seem to me like there isn't the same amount of time to spend in the woods, even though it's exactly the same.

Sucks the big weiner. Getting up at 4 AM was almost impossible. Getting up at 3 is just frankly, ridiculous. I have to travel a minimum of 1 hour to the WMA I'm trying to hunt. I'm naturally a night owl & the evenings is where it's at for me. Winter sucks  :(

[stagetek]

I never used to mind it. But, now I can't stand the fact it gets dark so early. By 5pm. it seems like it's the middle of the night.

[Autumnarcher]

we dont lose or gain any daylight hours. The only thing that changes is our clocks. The critters still have the same patterns, and since they dont wear watches they have no clue. The only difference is we gotta get up an hour earlier, and in the evening we're back in camp an hour earlier. If Im in deer camp the weekend we change, I dont change my clocks until I go home, then I dont feel like Im getting shorted an hour of sleep.

[nutmeg]

Either keep it or get rid of it. I don't like the changes. It's really unnecessary. (nut)

I don't mind it too much.  I have a young family and on daylight savings time it puts me getting home pretty late. I get home before bedtime and get to see my girls on standard time.  I guess its all relative to your each individual and how much travel time to hunting areas.

[Mint]

Same with me Robtattoo. I have to get up at 3am to get to my spot 1 1/2 hours away.

[mt-dew10]

I'm indifferent.  I usually wake up early any way...  I gotta agree with what one post said earlier, the critters don't have watches..so what does it matter?

[Jeff Strubberg]

Go to work in the dark.

Come home in the dark.

Can't hunt evenings.

Can't get anything done around the house.

What's not to love?

[Burnsie]

Wish they would just leave it alone.  I could care less if it is dark when I'm driving to work in the morning,  who cares?  I get there, go inside and start doing my thing.  It's day light before long anyway.  I'd rather have the extra daylight at the end of the day after I'm done with work so I can actually do something with it - like Hunt!
