Am I a wildlife Voyeur?
Posted by Darrell under: Rantings Of An Outdoorsman .
I am preparing to leave for Alaska for my first archery bear hunt. Yet, as busy as I am trying to get ready, I keep trying to buyout the time needed (about 2 hours) to drive down the ranch and check my game cameras. This thought won’t leave.
I keep telling myself that the cameras can wait until I get back from Alaska - but I’m not listening. I want to know what I’ve captured. I want to see if the spots I’ve picked to place those cameras are productive. I want to see if there is any antler growth, yet?
I hate to admit it, but I guess I am a voyeur. I’m addicted to looking at animals. I guess I could have a worse addiction, but nonetheless, I am addicted. Wonder if they have any 12 step programs to help break people that are addicted to watching animals? There should be, because I know I’m not the only one. Every time I’m in Bass Pro, I see otherwise normal looking people standing in line to pay hundreds of dollars for their next game camera. They look normal, but I know that they are addicts - just like me. I recently read a blog post by Jim Braaten about his voyeuristic tendency to surf over to the Ohio DNR website and watch their live Falcon Cam. This guy might be as sick as I am!
I’ve only got 3 days until I leave for Alaska. But, I’m going to do everything in my power to come up with 2 extra hours so that I can check those game cameras. I know its messed up, but hey I’m willing to take the first step and ADMIT “I’m a wildlife voyeur”.
BTW, if I get any good pics, I’ll post them ASAP.

I’m not sure why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
