My uncle's reply to explaining how he was able to shoot his first and only deer:  She got in the way of where I was shooting.

Was sitting in elk camp one day. We have one guy there that is not a traditional hunter though he claims to be. He is an ok with a slight ego issue that makes him a little grumpy until he gets his bull.

Well him and I got out elk within a day of eachother and another buddy got an moose the same time. Whence talking about the tale he was bragging of the shot saying he shot farther than the elk ran before dying.

Our shots were 30 for my elk and 4 for the moose. It came out finnaly that he had shot nearly 100 yards. I believe the comment that was said by one lady was "he must be a good shot but you are better hunters"

ha ha

"I almost saw a deer (or other animal) today"  My classic line when returning to camp after a morning hunt...

"I feel sorry for all the poor the souls who go down the high technology path of bowhunting.  And at the end, claiming success, that have not even the basic skills to sharpen a broadhead or could not identify the aroma of a cedar wood shaft."


I miss that man!

GREAT quote...So True

i can't believe someone remembered i said that. thanks for making me remember the day my little girl said that. she's a mom now and still has the tail. don

Congrats, Gramps! I bet she's a pretty good mom, too.

Both quotes are from my late brother Harold Couch aka "Shaft Slinger"
(1) One thing for sure, we ain't gonna kill nothin' sittin in the truck!! (As we sit in the truck at the hunti' spot, it's 10 degrees, pouring rain and snow at the same time)!!!

(2) Can't put a tag on nothin' if we ain't in the woods!! Sittin' in his man room, looking at a 140 class Whitetail hanging on the wall, he's ready to put a second tag on the mount!!!!

One more, (I've heard  more than once!!!!) Boy, if you do that one more time, I'm gonna kick your butt!

"More quite than a mouse wettin' on cotton"

A statement made by a hunting buddy of mine after he watched me shoot my new longbow; he hunts with a compound;

"God always provided the tree but you never read where he built the nest".........me

"God will provide the seed but he won't drive the tractor".....me again

"Son, no such thing as easy money"....dad

"The grass may be greener on the other side but that means you have to buy a bigger mower"....dad

 

"If you watch your pennies, the dollars will soon follow".....dad

"If you can withstand the pull, God will pull you out".....dad

"If you believe everything, you will fall for anything".....dad

"A real man is one that listens to God"....dad

"If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"....any man who is or has ever been married....  

Last one...

"It's not as far as I think it is nor as close as I want it to be"

The statement I make at every 3-d shoot I attend.....  

"There sure is alot of air around a squirrell"

I can't remeber who said it but I'm sure It was on a thread here. It's stuck with me forever and I have used the line myself a couple times.

When the killing time comes boys, focus and make the shot count.  Grandpa to my brother and I right after making a long killing shot on a running black bear my dad and uncle had just wounded at close range.  

It can't get worse than this ( me ) standing in a deluge 3 miles from the truck with a hunting buddy right before the real deluge hit.

After bemoaning the fact that I just blew a shot at a huge mulie and was beating myself up pretty badly my dad chimes in,,,,,,Billy, the only shot you are 100 percent guaranteed to miss is the one you don't take.

If the grass is greener on the other side, you can bet someone is doing extra work....1SG H. King, 1972
