Hunting Pranks

[fasteddie]

Have you ever done any hunting pranks ?

I was invited to a camp with a few guys many years ago . One of our friends was a Biker and always acted Macho . One of the regulars was showing us around the woods . We came across some deer scat . Bill had a box of Goobers candy (chocolate covered raisins) in his coat . He slipped a couple in his hand and reached down Looking like he had picked up some of the deer scat . He popped the Goobers in his mouth and said , it was a doe and she dropped these about 30 minutes . Our macho Biker buddy got the dry heaves and we all cracked up . He never lived it down .

The second day of the season I would always put a mannequin dressed in orange or camo in one of the new guy tree stands before afternoon stand.

You would hear them yelling at the mannequin before getting on the radio asking what to do.

One time I dropped off one of the new hunters at an occupied stand and as I was leaving he stopped me and said there's someone in the stand.

I told him to stand behind a tree with the radio in case it gets violent.

So I yelled at the "Hunter" to get the F out of the stand or I'm going to shoot you out of it and unloaded my handgun with blanks at the stand.

He almost crapped his pants.

I took him to another stand where he shot his first buck, a nice 8 point.

I miss those day's.

Those stories remind me of one of my old neighbors, who’s been gone for quite a few years now.  He was real particular about his tree stands and he called anyone who he didn’t know “aborigins”.  
 

One opening day morning, he walked up to his stand in the dark, to find it occupied by one who he said “looked like MR T”, with lots of glistening gold jewelry hanging from his neck.  As he stood below and looked up, the trespasser asked “do you know what time it is ?”

My neighbor’s reply was: “Yeah, it’s time to get the hell out of my stand”.  
 

He was a good guy and I miss him and his hunting stories.  He traded me my first cultipacker (probably my second favorite foodplotting tool, right behind my 2 row John Deere 246 corn planter) for a case of genny cream ale.
