Worst Hunting Show Expressions

Gayne C. Young

Hey kids,
Gayne Young here
I've been asked by Outdoor Life to compile a list of the worst and most over used expressions heard on hunting shows and figured I'd ask for all AR members help.

Examples:

Awesome!
It's doesn't get any better than this.
What a shot!
Harvest instead of killed.
It was the last day of our hunt...

If you can think of any of these cringe worthy expressions, please post them here or PM me.

And, yes, I'm basically asking for all of you to write my list for me.

Ha!

"Smoked him"

"We've been hunting so hard", when in fact they've been sitting in a tent for 5 days.

Anything to do with Ozonics or Scentblocker, Scentlok, Dead Down Wind, etc.

Put any of these idiot hosts on the ground the average hunter hunts, and they'd be very average, just like everyone else, with few exceptions.

I particularly despise "smokepole" and "frontstuffer" when referring to muzzleloaders, but I gave up on backslapping-idiot hunting shows a while back.

I personally cannot stand the slang terms for various animals - here are the ones I really do not like -

1. Yodle Dog for a coyote
2. Speed Goat for a pronghorn antelope
3. Gnarly old moss back for a hyper steroided up fenced in whitetail buck
4. Rut crazed beast for a bull elk guarding his cows.

This is followed closely by -
1. "Biggest one we ever saw" when a guide on a high fence hunt talks about a deer at a feeder.

2. "Don't shoot, he is a goner" when the elk is running off.

3. The various names for broadheads on arrows - "Rage" and the ilk.

4. Nearly anything out of Michael Waddel's mouth or his obese sidekick - Porkchop or Pigeye or whatever his name is....

"BBD baby!" Big buck down.

That there's a big 'un!

Gave him a dirt nap...

OOOOwwwww, aaaaahhhhhh, eeeehhhhh! Or some variance thereof.

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

1. Anything said on 98% of the bow hunting shows.
2. Anything said on 99% of the bow hunting shows with ostensible eye candy hosts.
3. Anything said on 100% of any hunting shows where the shooter holds his "shaking" hand up the camera after the shot.
4. Anything that crosses the vocal cords of Pigman.

Crying.

A guy whose job it is to hunt for the camera shoots a deer (usually some mutant behind a high fence) and he starts crying like a baby and says "I want to thank Jesus Christ for allowing me to harvest this deer."
It wasn't J. C. It was the guy who owns the property and you paid 10 grand to that allowed you to shoot him.

All of the above!

Plus the use of the word "toad" when referring to a big game animal.

Frankly, after watching a few episodes of "Jimmy Big Time" a few years ago, I can't (and won't) watch ANY hunting shows, because I can't decide whether to laugh or barf.

Besides, if I want to watch self-aggrandizing assholes in action, I can always switch on C-Span...

Any hunting show.I don't have to watch a single one to know what I can expect.Just the thought of putting African hunting on TV for profit and for stupid people to see and them going to Africa.

Indeed. I am getting tired of the violent imagery tied to so much hunting gear. The blood splatter and the glorifying of death via these names and graphics really makes us look like idiots. I'll start with "whack master".

MARK H. YOUNG

I wasn't going to comment until I read Baxter B's comment. I too am a little put off by all the emphasis on blood an gore associated with every new broadhead out there. Additionally it seems there is far more attention paid the "Killing" than the hunt. Chuck Adams said "Its like throwing an axe through an animal" Are you shitting me?????????? Rack Assassins, Bone Collectors, Deer Thugs etc. Is that how bow hunters want to be seen?

I noticed that in just the last couple of weeks the Rage commercials have been modified to show a disclaimer over a couple of the video clips. The disclaimer is something like, too graphic to be shown on television. I always thought those commercials were needlessly graphic, in fact I suspect that the blood flows had been visually enhanced in the studio to look even more graphic in the commercial. Just not a positive reflection on hunters in my view, but then again neither is Pigman, Guntucky, . . . .

ANY music is awful with a hunting show. That is why I like Saeed's videos almost exclusively.

I really enjoy watching Shockey's shows; more so than any of the others but "I trust my life to....' is way past getting old.
