Hunting Vocabulary

I always get a laugh out of some of the vocabulary that hunters use. Some of it are catch phrases that have been killed. Some are just ways to describe something.

One that I never understood was the term "Roman Nose." So I had to look it up. I still can say that its not something I've ever noticed on a deer.

So, what terms don't you get or think have been killed?

 

Nanny. Hate the word.

 

I have no idea what nanny means? or roman nose?

 

I guess I never thought about it until you mentioned it, but here are a few off the top of my head...hit list, set, BBD, smoked 'em, read the script, food plot, nanny, swamp donkey, horns, shooter, yearling...

I'm sure I could think of a few more.

 

pretty much anything said on any hunting show referring to deer or hunting in general

 

Read the script just sounds dumb to me. Also, dirt nap, anything Ted Nugent says, and people referring to their hunting ground as "the farm" when there is not a single crop there.

 

cull buck

 

Smoked'em
"ONLY" saw does
"ONLY" saw a small buck
Cull Buck


And personal pet peeve, He shot a "Dog"


Edit: I guess one thing I really hate about the hunting community these days is the lack of respect for young bucks or does. It's like they don't matter.

 

harvested, scrub buck

 

pig and hog

 

Yea pretty much any of the common lingo used on the shows bugs me.

 

I get "Roman nose" and have seen it on bucks, but a few that I don't care for are shooter, pig and slob. I'm OK with monster. I saw a show where a 10 year old girl was asking her father..... "Is he a shooter!!??" Really? 10 years old? Also, when you're hunting deer who wants to shoot a pig or a slob? Monsters are kind of likeable!

 

Actually shot a huge (over 300 lb) 8 pt 2 years ago that had a "roman nose! My favorite mount!
Favorite catch phrase....My lic plate BBD DRT.....Big buck down! Dead right there!

 

I'm ok with pretty much all of the terminology, it's who is doing the talking that usually makes me chuckle.

 

I can get with that. Its how they say it.

 

Texas Heart Shot

 

"doesnt he know I would make him a star"
Rage in the cage (and I shoot rage bh's)
My all time favorite is my broad head messed up
NO the shooter messed up and is blamming his equipment the BH did'nt pick them they picked the BH

 

I used to say "harvested" just to piss David Mill off! LOL man he hates that.. I never say it in the real world.. but here online it was funny! David if you read this..sorry.. all in fun..

 

One I always liked was bruiser. aw man what a bruiser.
I also like "the deer woods"

 

on another note, the one guy I really like listening to on TV.. because he doesnt use all the dorky catch phrases is Bill Winke..
