The dumbest sh!t hunters say...

[wernerjd]

Not so much as a one liner but more of a pet peeve. People shooting at game with a brake on a rifle and there still whispering. The game animal is rolling down the side of a mountain 400 yards away. Just a pet peeve.

I saw a video where the deer was 600 yards away and the guys were whispering. Normal level talking at that distance is okay. At least I have never had a instance where it bothered the deer/Elk, at that distance. It may just be an abundance of caution that has them doing it or, it's for effect for the video.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned naming deer on the shows. Incredibly lame.

Something tells me this will be a topic on a future The Angry Bowhunter column.

It might actually be funny if people who name deer used actual names: instead of “Drop Tine”, “tank” and “girth”, they named them “Jasper”, “george” and “Thomas”

What about "He dropped in his tracks". Where else would he drop? I've never seen an animal not drop in it's tracks.

My buddy and I went elk scouting the first week of August several years ago. We were on an old closed logging road that was about to make a 90 degree turn into a large drainage that opened up from there. Instead of just walking the road into the wide open, I whispered to my buddy that we should do a little glassing through the timber before the turn into the open. We climbed just a small rise so we could see through the trees and started glassing. There were several bulls and cows on the side of this ridge just over 800 yards away, and every one of them was staring right at us. They hear more than most think they do.

JLHOIS can tell us different!

I laughed at this. This sounds like something I would do just to be silly.

Naming animals does irk me a little. I don’t mind descriptive names like “split brow” or “the palmated buck.” But naming them “Bruce” or “Jeb” or “Mr Sparkles” is lame.


Harvest doesn’t bother since it literally means to kill something.

I hate when they bring a gang of 10 people into the woods to recover a 150lb buck. Why do you need so many people? Not strong enough to drag him yourself? Why would you want all those people stinking up your hunting area?

And then my personal favorite is when they start calling people on the phone 23 seconds after the shot saying “I got him he’s down!” And then 3 days and 2 dog trackers later they finally find the animal.

now we’re going off track…..I hate seeing kids shooting crossbows, that they can’t load themselves, from their daddy’s blind. Especially when the kid is half asleep…..Also don’t enjoy daddy bringing him out on the 50 yard blood trail he shot that morning.

I thought some would get a kick out of this video...I know I did!

Anybody else feel this way besides me?

“Harvest”
“Are you a farmer? Do you own a combine? No? THEN YOU DIDN’T HARVEST A GODDAMNED THING, KYLE. I don’t know where this dumbass phrase came from,”

It came from Old English…

Haha I love the ridiculous names TV bow hunters come up with to name their “target buck”!

Had “Versace Camaro” and “Thanos” on camera again today!

 

[BluMtn]

Becoming a big fan of his articles. Yes, I own a combine. Never “harvested “ a deer though. There was this skunk one time while cutting wheat.......wow that stunk for awhile

My father harvested a fawn one summer during harvest. We had to crawl under the throat of the combine and open the trap door and remove what was left of it out of the cylinder. Not something I ever what to repeat.

He wouldn't have made it through the winter.

I wish I had a PRC!

talking about dialing a scope in clicks. Shooting a 3 shot group and calling the gun a tack driver

That was a "CULL" buck, for sure...
