DST

I’ll be so happy when they do away with Daylight Savings Time. 4:00 alarms, 3:00 for turkeys, get old in a hurry. This boy is going to bed. Good luck in the morning kiddos. Be safe.

I agree. I was hoping they would do it this year.

I think it’s stupid but I also think its impact is minimal. Tired is tired. Dark is dark. Time is just numbers.

The people that I knew who lived the longest lives went to bed at dark and were up at dawn, just used the clock for appointments.

Even coming up with something like dst shows how big of DA's people are.

True. But another hour of sleep on hunt mornings would be nice. And “yay it’s dark at 5:00” said no one ever.

I’m with you and I don’t understand dst’s purpose….but my inner most chronometer has adjusted and I don’t give it much thought anymore.

Well the problem with that in Kentucky is that, depending on the month, you'll either sleep 6,7 hours or 13.

I had a liberal hunting friend in high school, didn't know he was a liberal until later in life. Back then all I knew is he did some things that made me wonder.

But anyways..
I remember one fall he was going deer hunting the next morning after the time change. He was asking people trying to figure out what time it got daylight on DST so he could be in his stand at the right time. Everyone he asked, despite being told over and over just told him it will get daylight at exactly an hour earlier.

Later that evening we met an older hunting buddy and he asked him what time he was going to be in his stand the next morning with the time change. Older guy told him that he hadn't set his watch back, so he would be in his stand at the same time he was the day before. My buddy instantly burst out and laughed in his face, then said, you'll be an hour late the sun will already be up!

Unfortunately I think we have a lot of those posting here.

Tennessee, other states could be on daylight saving time permanently if new bill passes

Daylight saving time could soon be permanent in some states, if a newly introduced bill passes.

I'd actually like it because I go to bed a little after 5 a lot because of my work hours. It would suck on my off days and I can definitely see why most people wouldn't like it though.
