Forked horn (fully pronouncing the "ed" of forked, like fork-ed) a young buck with two tines on its antlers, making it legal to shoot in California.

"Flossey", a mature doe.

Horns vs antlers.  I think we all know the difference between horns and antlers, but don't be surprised to hear hunters calling antlers "horns."  (I've never heard anyone calling horns "antlers"). I think this is something hunters do on purpose, like when we were in the Marines and we called all Navy ships "boats" just to pi$$ the sailors off.  Is this just something that happens in California, or do hunters all over the country call antlers "horns"?

Bird dogging.

The act of wading through unholy briar thickets for my dad and his buddies when we were kids hunting rabbits or pheasant. It was a right of passage me and all my friends went through. Those were bloody and fun days!


Getting flagged.


The view of a whitetail tail or several waving to you after you kicked them out of their beds. Getting flagged was a bummer if you were still or sneak hunting but OK if you were bird dogging for a deer drive LOL.

That sure is a big bodied buck. "MN nice" for a buck with a small  rack.
Swamp Donkey- I know what they are saying, but I'd never use the term.

Not my Target Buck but he's a Shooter

Teeter totter- a buck right on the edge of what you might shoot. Could go either way.
