[NFA-ADK]

That's funny!  LIKE!

[LuckyPickle123]

Its even worse talking to people that don't hunt...

 

"did you catch anything"

"do deer usually run when its cold"

"do deer usually run when its warm"

"do deer usually run when its windy"

"do deer usually run when its raining"

"do deer usually run better in the morning"

"do deer usually run better at night"

"I saw a deer the other day on the side of the road"

"I saw a deer in the field the other day"

"do you like sit in a tree"

"do you just walk through the woods"

 

and on and on and on.... this is my boss pretty much everyday.  He asks every little question possible about hunting over and over and over again.  Maybe not everyone else has someone like this in their life, but it can get quite annoying.  Especially because he is the type of guy to ask you the same sh** day in and day out.  I swear I'm the guy on office space.

I want to puke when people ask "did you catch a deer"

Yeah , that gets irritating after a while !

I also avoid the word "HARVEST" . I recall one of the hunting Gurus ( Bob Foulkrod ) gave a talk at a local Sportsmen's Dinner and said you don't harvest deer , you kill them . Forget the PC crap .

[DirtTime]

WOW.

I guess it could have been worse though, could have been someone against hunting and started on that landslide of chatter.

Um...Yeah.....LOL!

That's TMI and I wasn't in the room.............

[Mr VJP]

When asked if I "caught" a deer, I reply:

 

"No, I'm too old now to run after them, so I just shot it and made it dead.  That makes it easier to get it."

 

LOL!

 

[philoshop]

You did ask. :D

[hunter49]

[dirt_a_KISS]

So I went to look at a trailer the other day, older couple selling it the guy had lung surgery recently and knew his days were numbered. But like many old hunters he still had a good spirit and you could tell he still wanted to get out there. How did I find out? Well what should have been a 10 minute visit turned into 1/2 hour after the first hunting question.

[growalot]

Faintail..lol that reminded me ..I was in a small home town grocery store and turned down an isle where an elderly woman was looking at stuff on the shelves..well I nodd and smile at ppl I see...don't need to know them just a freindly gesture...

I swear to the heavens ...that is all it took! I couldn't be rude and walk away and that smile and nod was all she needed to tell a complete stranger about her and her husbands surgeries ...hard ship with family...and to be honest a bunch of other stuff I 'm not sure I actually heard...standing 3ft from her...my mind shut down with the gull stones I think....I managed to finally say...Ya know I understand but God bless you your out and about and doing the best you can and thats worth a whole lot! You take care now and have a great day...Mr B says it's something they see in my eys and face...it happens all the time. My daughter still warns me when we go shopping...Mom don't you dare smile at anyone!!!...lol
