    I say both...DVR the game and get to go out and spend your day in the woods Hunting... Best of both worlds in my opinion ;)

    When I'm in MA, the wonderful state law of no Sunday hunting makes my decision for me. If I'm at my NH cabin I might catch an hour of football between hunts and then the night game. If I could hunt Sundays around home I'd watch a lot less.

    It blows my mind that some state do not allow hunting on Sundays.

    Agreed.

    Surprised it hasn't been won in court yet when literally every other leisure activity is legal on that day.


    As for football or hunting, I don't have to choose. I watch football mid day or at night, hunt in the mornings and evenings.

    This. Or, if the Gators play on TV in mid-afternoon (which is often), I'll watch them play and forfeit a hunt. There are more days for me to go hunting than there are to watch my favorite team play.

    Mine as well. I can't even imagine it and yes it would be enough for me to move.

    No contest hunting. Not a fan of football. Let alone TV.

    Tough decision but I pick hunting. I just dvr the game and dont listen to any talk radio on the drive home. Then watch the game and commercials when I get home. Weird I know but makes it seem like I'm watching it live.

    It all depends on my mood and weather. Sometimes I would rather hunt and follow the game on my phone. Other times I would rather just relax at home and have a few beers. It also can be determined on how confident I feel the deer will be moving that evening.

    Agreed.

    If it's a 75 degree day, humid, with strong winds, and LSU is playing Alabama. I'm watching the game.

    If it's a 30 degree day, calm, and LSU is playing Northern Florida A&M. I'm hunting.

    Mine as well. I can't fathom why the state wouldn't at least allow hunting on private land or bowhunting only on Sundays. It sucks but I will be here for a while.

    Hunting. When the season ends I can still catch the last few games of the playoffs and the Superbowl. Which mean I don't get to see much of our Vikes :busted:
