When your co-workers ask to see your "vacation pictures".....and it's pics of tilled dirt, seed planted in rows, brush hogged weeds, trees planted and caged or a view from your tree stand or shooting house!
People ask to see pictures of your kids and all of them you have are either them helping you with habitat projects or with some sort of dead critter they killed!!! The libs love those!!!!
You STALK the local big box store just waiting to pounce for when the trees they have go on sale so you can buy twice as many....and because you simply refuse to pay full price...just because of the principle of the matter!
You look forward to mowing a food plot but hate to mow the lawn!
You drive down the road and identify weeds, trees and the like and you think your talking to yourself but others in the car hear you and they think you have lost your mind!
You can justify only cutting a tree half way because you only want it to fall down, but not die!!!!

If you have ever really contemplated buying gly in a 15 or 30 gallon barrel for the price break and you KNOW you will use it!
If you failed chemistry class in High school, but you know what pH is and N, P & K elements are without a second thought!
You struggled with math in school (because it wasn't something you would use any ways) but know by memory:
how many square feet are in an acre
how many acres are in a square mile
can actually calibrate a sprayer or calculate how many oz/acre you are applying
how to use the numbers on a fertilizer bag
you can convert ounces to quarts to gallons from memory
You see people in retail stores buying "round-up" in a premixed bottle/jug of some sort and just laugh and shake your head as you walk buy and in your mind your thinking, "You dummy your paying for water!"
You see/visit another property an immediately start thinking of how to lay it out for deer hunting and the improvements that need to be made!
You see an advertisement on TV with some hot chick holding a bag of BOB seed and once the commercial is over the first thing out of your mouth is, "Notice they didn't specifically tell you what was inside or the amounts....#$@%^# selling a bunch of filler and coating!"

You might be a Habitat guy if ....
- The cover photo of your facebook page is foodplots and trees.
- You stake and cage wild crab apple and oak seedlings on your neighbors property too.
- You give your neighbor free Garlon4 anytime he is out cutting buckthorn.
- You ask the neighbors permission to remove buckthorn, walnut, and box elder, within 20ft of your crab apples, elderberry, sevice berry, hazzlenut, highbush cranberry, and wild american plum plantings along your property line.
- You bought your wife a digital kitchen scale for weighing baking ingredients, ... but you really use it to weigh out foodplot seed.
- You cut down dutch elm disease infected trees on neighbors property (with permission), during winter, while he is in Arizona.
- You have an excel spread sheet with your past, present, and future yearly foodplot plantings, in rotation, for each plot on your property.
- You asked the neighbor if you could mow down his thistle patch, before they blew seed all over your foodplots.
- You spent more $ on a professional grade pole saw, than you did on your wife last Christmas!

You plan out your fall food plot planting (seeds, quantities, method) on the drive home from planting your spring / summer food plots.
You look at the canopy of trees and ponder the health of the tree. Should I release it more, is enough sunlight getting to the forest floor.
You can identify most grasses and weeds in your area and the herbicide to kill it.
You buy more oil and gas for your farm chainsaw versus your lawn mower at your house.
You dedicate the fruit and veggies container in your primary refrigerator for seed stratification instead of edible groceries.
Your tractor has AC but your truck doesn’t.
