You don't like very much about phrases or catch words dealing with hunting. Do you . Your a grumpy old man. No wander I like you.
The only one that gets me and seems every YT hunter says it is "they had an encounter." On yesterday's sit I had an encounter with my target buck. He was pushing three doe. I had two previous encounters with that target buck but it was after shooting light. He's nocturnal right now but I've got one or two pics of him in the day. Hope my neighbor doesn't shoot him. What ever happened to I was in my stand and saw four f'ing deer? When I think of "I had an encounter" I think of the creepy guy that used to stock shelves at the grocery store when I was a kid. He would open a pack of oreos and offer them to me when my Mom wasn't looking if I would follow him to the back. Now that was an encounter.
Well from the deer’s perspective it does kind of fit your definition of encounter… this creepy guy dressed in camo is hideing in a tree and offering up a pile of apples and corn if you will come walk by his tree stand. He carry’s binoculars so he can watch you without you knowing it and has a weird pee fetish so he keeps bottles of deer, and sometimes fox, urine in his back pack. Also has some rope, a knife, a pair of gloves, and a face mask in that backpack. He likes to shoot 4 and 5 year old males so he can take their skin off and hang their heads on his wall as trophies.
LOL! I very rarely laugh out loud when reading something just sitting in the office by myself, but you got me. I agree if someone walked up in the middle of a conversation with me talking about deer but catching enough to just be miserable - they'd report me. LOL! I guess I have no problem with deer sitting around shooting the breeze in July and saying, "Last year, the day after Thanksgiving, I had an encounter...... he was staring at me like he was gonna eat me! That's some Jeffery Dahmer crap right there. You know he shot Pookie two years ago and stuck an orange spike up his butt and just ripped."
I have always wondered what deer think about hunting season... like all summer they're doing their deer activities and people don't even pay them any attention, then one day in September those same people that haven't bothered them for 9 months all the sudden start flinging arrows at them trying to kill them, then come November and now they're getting shot at too, then January arrives and everyone suddenly stops trying to kill them and goes back to ignoring them.
Erybody errybody or any version of it … I hate it Yes I have to work today and can’t hunt so I’m cranky Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Oh and another one.... " I have history with this buck"... every body on the outdoor channel has history with this buck.. like that somehow makes the kill more mystical or honorable. Well of course you do, you're raising them like cattle on your property since he was a button buck... lol. Its like a farmer talking about the history he has with the cow he is about to send to the meat packing plant...
