Figured we could have a little fun with this one. I have lots of really good stories, I'll start with my most recent favorite: We pulled into a hunting unit for early goose season, and there happened to be a car parked there with a woman in it. She sees us start to pull our guns and stuff out for hunting and freaks out and says "Don't shoot my husband! He is out there bird watching and he is really well camouflaged!!!" I look over the levee and see a man standing out in the open wearing a bright red jacket, surrounded by 2 unleashed white dogs running a muck tearing through the brush barking LOUDLY and the guy is carrying a camera with a lens that glares so badly that it would flare any birds within a 10 mile radius. I point to the dude in the jacket and say "Is that him?" "Yes! Oh please be careful!!" she says. The husband made his way back to the car, obviously displeased at our presence. Despite this my fiance decides to chat with them for a bit. We asked them if they had any luck seeing any birds. They said they hadn't seen any bald eagles and weren't sure why their success rate wasn't higher. This was my favorite statement they made: "I think the bald eagles are all gone because this place is over-hunted." As soon as they left a bald eagle flew in and perched 40 yards from our spot for about a hour.

The dumbest thing I've ever heard about hunting is something I've been asked MANY times. It's when I get back from a deer hunt and someone asks "did you catch any?"

The "catch any" question is a classic. I told someone that I had once, but wouldn't again because squirrels bite and the deer kicked.
In regards to waterfowl, I usually here "aren't they greasy". I ask if they had ever tried it and usually get a "no, but that's what I hear". Try it, you might like it.

My parents had friends from church over one time and the wife asked my dad if the other end of the deer, he had a shoulder mount, was on the other side of the wall.

This is an actual newspaper clipping. The newspaper was in Illinois, I believe in a suburb of Chicago.

Now WHY does that not surprise me? ROFL. My ex (God rest her soul) was from Lombard and some of her family.....whoa. NICE people but egad, the things they think regarding hunting and hunters!! The first time a couple of them came to visit when I still had my home back in the woods it took the one sister about 15 minutes to get the nerve to walk around the entry and into the 18x24 livingroom with cathedral ceilings because: "YOU HAVE DEAD BEASTS HANGING ON YOUR WALL!" After she got up the courage and after four or five STIFF mixed drinks she calmed down and I had gotten up and went into the bathroom or kitchen for something and when I came back she was slowly easing up to one of the deer mounts on the wall. Evidently slipping up behind her and screaming when she got pretty close and was leaning forward to "sniff to see if it stunk".......was not the polite thing to do??? Later I tried to explain to them that there was NO WAY I could have known she had a "weak bladder"!! (and no sense of humor, LOL) When I made dinner she was gingerly pulling apart the meat with a pair of forks and looking at it but would NOT eat any of it (it was pot roast). For some reason she wouldn't believe that I wasn't trying to trick her into eating "some poor dead animal". It didn't go over well when I pointed out that "ALL MEAT is some dead animal and THIS dead animal used to look like those steers you drove by coming down the road". I had to order pizza delivery. Cheese pizza. Being that I'm an old country boy I just didn't get it. I seriously could NOT wrap my head around the fact that there was a living, breathing human being of 35 years of age that did NOT KNOW where meat came from and when they insisted we go OUT for breakfast the next morning (they had to sleep in our bedroom. Jen and I slept in the hide-a-bed in the livingroom) ----> she ordered ham and eggs!! When I opened my mouth to say something my wife kicked me in the leg under the table while glaring at me and said: "DON'T!!!" Ruined my whole day. I really wanted to see her reaction to finding out she was eating a pig's behind and unborn baby chicks!! Not having seen farm animals before I took them for a drive later. When we went by a farm lot with hogs in it they wanted to stop so we did. When the sister asked me what hog's were raised for I had my chance. " The are raised and sold to butcher for pork chops, pork steaks, bacon, pork roasts................ham" LOL! She never did take a liking to me, not once in 16 years!! God Bless

Over 25 years ago, I was following a good track in the snow. Looked up ahead and saw another hunter coming my way on the same track. No matter what I said, I could not convince him that he was actually back-tracking.

Sometimes it is, that usually means I put too many pieces into the deep fryer. I skin them out and don't bake any, so greasy isn't normal. The George Foreman grill gets a workout through the winter.

The only water fowl I've ever eaten was a bit of "duck bacon" in a restaurant once. It was very good.

Just today. And I had to smile and walk off. "If HPR's become legal there will be hundreds or maybe thousands of extra hunters in the woods".

"Hunting is wrong. You shouldn't kill animals"
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard someone say.
