Never forget the bug spray for turkey season. Chiggers show a hunter's crotch no mercy.

DesertRamTry as you might, you can't outrun a turkey on foot.

There are MANY critters in the woods that think of you as lunch...and most of them are small enough to sneak up/in on you without your being able to fend them off. They like to travel in packs too.
It is possible to freeze nearly to death and enjoy it because the shooting is good (duck hunting).
The severity of the 'aw shucks' in directly proportional to the distance from whatever is required to fix it.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Kamo GariI offer a slight correction to the post above. Your *buddy's* T shirt material is the best TP substitute.

Slim_ZippyAfter many years of hunting it is still possible to miss on a "too easy shot". If this occurs there will be several witnesses who will remind you for years at every conceivable opportunity.

I can confirm that your expired driver's license is also NOT a good substitute for TP.
When wiping your butt with a dollar , make sure it is'nt three quarters two dimes and a nickel .

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

cwilsonThe time to remember that your knife is laying next to the gut pile is when you begin the drag to the truck, not afterward.

AI22-250You also need to remember exactly where you put the deer tag in you wallet, with the Game warden standing over you and you freshly killed buck! Yes Sir, I have one, honest......
26 April 2006, 01:54
Swede44magDon't forget the zip ties for the game tag and a pen in your shirt pocket can save you a big fine.
Also don't forget your hunting license it makes for one lousy day hunting.
Never give the game-warden your pump shotgun and insist that he check it for a plug.

CrazyhorseconsultingNo matter how hard you squeeze the trigger on a 340 Weatherby while aiming at a Moose 50 yards away, if the safety is on that gun ain't gonna go boom.
And you don't drag dead elk uphill, even though that is where the vehicle is setting.
Even the rocks don't last forever.

Outdoor WriterAlways try to avoid getting the lead rope of a pack horse under the tail of the horse you're riding. And never ever tie the lead rope to your saddle horn, especially when you screw up on the first part!
Been there, done that. Fortunately I landed on my feet after I went over my horse's head after the third jump. -TONY

Avoid the exhaust pipe at all costs when you use the truck for a back rest when "going" in the woods.
