Funny Quotes From Hunting Trips

[wpeach1912]

This year had a nice old gentleman and his wife drive through the campground we were in and tell me, my dad, and my buddy how 80 years ago his family owned the land where the campground was as well as a lot of land up and down the river. Quote for the rest of the week amongst us was “80 years ago my family owned all this”. We decided to all do the same thing when we are that age.

Elk hunting a couple years ago my buddy (same one as earlier story) and I are driving back to camp and get stopped by a fish and game check station. They ask to see our licenses (which are buried in our respective backpacks). We pull out our packs and start rifling through all of our junk and they ask us if we had been backpacking. We then explained to them we are special needs and carry that much junk on day hunts (which is what we did that day). Quote for the rest of the hunt “were y’all backpacking??”

Standing over a dead buck with a fist-sized exit wound in his chest, my buddy looks at me and says, “up there in the woods, some doe is saying ‘why don’t he write?’”

Mule deer Hunting with both of my brothers. The younger brother it’s his first tag ever. (He’s 60 years old… late onset). 4th or 5th day we get him lined up on a decent shooter buck at about 225 yards. Solid rock for a rest. He kills the buck. He's pretty excited, and when we get back to camp he can’t stop talkin about how he can’t believe he got him with just one shot. Older brother doesn’t say anything for a long time, and about the tenth time he mentions “one shot” older brother chimes in. “Well I guess we’re gonna have to start calling you “One Shot Dick” from now on”!!

His name is not Dick.

I have two.

Years ago, hunting elk with my dad and brother, 2 feet of snow everywhere, wilderness area in Oregon, miles from a road. Dad is the navigator, being the mapman. No gps, just map and compass and an old memory of a trail, now obscured by snow. I’m sure all of you know how this story goes, but my brother and I sure didn’t. My dad said something about knowing where the trail is, then he said, and I quote, “In fact…”
Of course we got lost and didn’t find a road until well after dark. So now, any crazy idea or getting lost is called an “In fact” hike.

Second:
Hunting deer outside of Lakeview, Oregon, a thousand years ago. We’re on the way to a unit and 2 bucks run across the road. I saw horns but Stan didn’t. I pile out of the truck and load my Remington 7400, moving far enough off the logging road to be legal. Stan says, “Now, don’t go doing anything stupid,” meaning don’t shoot a doe. So now, if we want to make sure everyone is calm, we say don’t go doing anything stupid.

Bird hunting this fall. Had a pointed rooster, one of my kids shoots it right out of the grass. Pretty well destroyed it. I said maybe let them go a little so you don't drink all the meat. My buddy looks over and says, "you want meat go to Hy-Vee, were out here to kill birds."

While packing up elk camp I was getting frustrated trying to get the ratchet strap properly routed while my dad held the other end. I was tugging on it to get just a little bit more when he suddenly jerked it out of my hands. I looked up at him in disgust and with a grin he said "I thought I had a bite". We had a good laugh

Bouncing down a “road” in a 70s Bronco on the desert in Idaho.

Guy driving - there use to be a road here.
Guys daughter from the back - yea, and the last time it was used was in a wagon.

This past 3rd rifle elk season, walking out of a canyon uphill, my BiL said "I'm not coming back till I've lost 50 lbs". I laughed, as I could breath just fine, and said "you're correct"

Two buddies and I were walleye fishing the Rainy River. Guy in the stern hooks a decent fish and guy in the middle tries to net it. Hit it right on top of the head with the net and the fish is gone. Now whenever anyone hooks into a decent fish the netman asks some version of the question, " So you want me to put the net UNDER the fish?"

A guy told me whenever he and his hunting buddies camps in the backcountry and has someone else that looks like they want to camp in the area he says "you're welcome to stay right here, we got plenty of lube for everyone!"

Gets people moving pretty good.
