This is really intended as a little treat for all the country boys (and gals) here who just plain love to hunt and who appreciate old time country music to help get them into the spirit of going hunting - http://wevl.org/schedule.php. Check out the Wednesday schedule and try tuning in on the net. It's there now. It's called Sho Nuff Country with old Bashful Bob. Tune in and see if you like it. This show is on every Wednesday from 10:00 to 2:00. This is a non-commercial all-volunteer FM station.

I know I should have put this on the Miscellaneous Forum, but if I did the show would be over before that many saw it.

Enjoy. And let's hear others' suggestions for favorite music too.

Pretty much anything fron AC/DC gets me in the right frame of mind.

Nice! Saw them at the Budokan in Tokyo in '80, but I'm getting a little old for that kind of music at 4:00 a.m.

For me, I think I'm usually too excited to pay much attention to music on the way to hunt anyway. I'm usually lost in thought and anticipation of having a great day, and may tap my foot to something I dig, but I guess I'm saying I don't have any 'hunting' music, per se.

I guess in my own way I do make my own music in the duck blind and whatnot. Maybe more of a beat, as opposed to a tune, though. It usually goes something like this: BOOM-shucka-splash-BOOM-shucka-splash-BOOM-shucka-damn I thought I was maybe gonna' triple up on those buggers...Click-shucka-click click.

Repeat.

I like this one.

Marty Robbins-His western music..........

I in pop the CD I made each time I head to the field.

Bob

Pends on what I'm huntin'.....

Mad Dog

I can't remember the stations, there in Kerrville and west and south of there, that play the "nonstandard" country that the radio stations in Houston play over and over and over and over...ad nausem.

I once found a Czech polka show around Giddings, just can't remember the numbers.

The only motivation I need to get up and go hunting is for my eyes to open and be able to swing my legs off the side of the bed and stand up.

Have I just gotten so old that just the fact of being alive and being able to go hunting and be outdoors, DOES NOT require any outside stimulus for me?

I guess I have just lost it, whatever IT is, but questions such as this and the one about whether a person hunts because they own guns or owns guns because they want to hunt, sure don't make any sense to me.

You mean like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL62m5umP4g If I had to go with just one of his, that's probably it. My CDs include Marty, Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Johnny Horton and Jimmie Rodgers.

I'm partial to the really old stuff, especially if I have a long drive by myself on the way to go hunting. I've listened to these the whole way from Tennessee to Kansas when headed out for a pheasant hunt. I find the driving at night part of it relaxing. When I can pick them up, I also like to tune into WSM's live broadcasts from the Grand Ole Opry.

My focus on Hunting has not degraded to the point that I need to give-up listening to good old music.

Any of the ancient old Classic Country or Bluegrass music is sure nice when driving to Hunt. Completely wore out an old Hank Williams Sr. tape. Jim Reeves & Patsey Cline, Gene Autery, Hank Snow, Ferlin Husky, Loretta, Crystal, Tammy, Dolly, etc.. Too many to pick from.

Was given a Slim Whitman tape as a Gag Gift once a very long time ago. Turned out to be a great tape. Wore it out too. I feel sure a person could call in Coyotes if he practiced that kind of Yodeling a good bit.

Linkin Park, Nickelback, Nine Inch Nails, Randy Travis they all work for me.

Dolimite - The Signified Monkey!! OMG!!

At Penn State, the only one of my hunting friends with a car had a cassette I gave him of Bo Diddly. I guess he always played it when I was with him. 15 years later, I still think of Bo Diddly any time we hunt together.

A different friend was always up for rabbit hunting. He was fond of this one.

Early Chris Ledoux, Cw McCall, and Led Zepplin. And mabey some Stevie Ray Vaughn. My uncle always plays Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" at full blast first thing in the morning, he says that it's tradition but I don't know where that tradition evolved but he's been doing it since I was a kid.

Too many. That's right. Since you mentioned Ferlin, here's my favorite of his - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ4rvIdNAXM

And don't forget old Tex - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...IoSE&feature=related

When I lived in Nashville he owned a restaurant I frequented. He and his wife ate there sometimes. Also got to hear him play in person (along with Johnny Cash and others).

For old time sake I'll also throw in Frankie Laine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNkRcqjbSWU

I still have somewhere the 78 recording of that which was given to me as a child by a favorite uncle, who also taught me handling of his Colt six guns. If songs like these are on the car radio when I arrive at the farm, I always linger a little bit to finish listening to them.

Btw, according to family history I have a relative on my dad's side who was Hank Sr's road manager. Don't know much about it though.

My buddies and I have a tradition of popping in The Good, Bad and the Ugly soundtrack when heading out to our hunting spot. Gets ya in the proper mood for shooting critters. If that doesn't work then we try a little Ricky Wagner. If Ride of the Valkyries doesn't get you pumped up, nothing will. Lol

Up in Northern MN and WI I think the most popular song for everyone in deer camp is Da Turdy Point Buck by Bananas At Large. I think they are from the UP so it is probably played in MI as well.

During the deer rifle season we can hear it on local radio stations at least once every evening.
