You are sitting at home enjoying dinner with the family and suddenly the phone goes off. You check and see it's a new cache. Do you drop everything and race out the door? If so, you are probably a FTF hound.

'sniff sniff' - I am a recovering FTFaholic. Have had my text notifies off since the end of Hale's challenge, and its been nice. Never know when I may fall off the wagon tho.

What a bunch of Liars!
Eleven votes, and I am the only one to answer yes!

I go through streaks, sometimes I am a hound, and other times, I could care less.

Right now, I am trying to get to 100 FTF's. I am currently at 94.
Then I will quit chasing them.

Now who's lying?!?! YES YES YES. FTF hound with my hound. ( Sadie) OK my heart pounds alittle when I see a new published one. I did cut my notifications down to 20 miles instead of 40. Although in Geneva, not too many get published these days.

I will drop what I am doing if, a) I am not doing anything "important", and b) It is within a few miles of home or wherever I happen to be at the time. I love the rare opportunity that this happens, but as I said, it is rare.

I had to vote "Used To Be" as Gas prices now prohibit FTF runs.

I am when I can be. I got one in Florida in March because I add notifications whenever I travel, and I got another one yesterday near here.

I used to be one, but I burned out on it. I still get email notifications so I can keep up with what's coming out for new caches.

This is a good topic for you of all people Taz to bring up. You were one of the hardest to beat FTF Hounds I ever encountered, (other than J-Dog and Ducky in their prime). I am a bonifide FTF hound if there is such a thing and my favorite FTf's to get are on deep wood hides or really challenging puzzle and multi caches. My most favorite one to date is Szuchie's The hike, Expedition to Paradise. That was a 7 1/2 mile hike on the Letchworth Trail on the East side of Letchworth Park. I shared FTF honors with Butterflyguy. We made a 7 1/2 mile hike into an 8 1/2 mile hike by making a wrong turn, then backtracking to where we made our error, then we headed off in the right direction. We worked for that one and the scenery we saw along the way made it all worth it. Yep, if there is an FTF out there waiting to be found, you can bet I will try my best to grab it, just another fun part of this game for me, and there is nothing better than finding a cache hidden just the way the CO hid it and then seeing an empty log book!

If I am in the area, I might try for FTF. Usually though, I don't care because I am to far away from them.

I listed myself as a hound, but it really only applies when I'm <10 miles AND don't have something going on with Kids/Sports/Fire Dept/Work.
