Wingman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 "Ah. The smell of wet dog. Pungent, yet comforting." My kid when he was 12, in the car on the way back from a hunt. Link to post Share on other sites
FRODO Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Never really thought about it until Cooter posted . There is Canada and there is the USA and we are North America . I am glad for our neighbors to the North and couldn't envision having anyone else I'd want there . Good man that's the way I feel about the good old USA. Link to post Share on other sites
Canuck Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Years and years ago, before goose hunters developed their field hunting skills, hunters used to gather along the "Firing Line" around Delta Marsh. Some Saturday mornings there was a hunter hiding behind every fence post along the marsh. With sunrise came the first wave of a thousand geese lifting off the marsh and passing 80 yards over the hunters heads. Every hunter along the fence line emptied their gun at the high fliers. Miraculously two birds folded and fell to the ground. From the far end of the line a hunter yelled "Wohoo, I got a double". Cracked everybody up. Canuck Link to post Share on other sites

jeff88 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 What happened and is said below was overheard by a 3rd hunter who was to the left of two hunters in thick SW PA grape tangle: BLAM I got it! No, I got it! To him it all sounded like one person. The autopsy revealed both 6's and 7.5's in the grouse. Link to post Share on other sites

jroetz Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 "I replied, and truthfully too, that I had never lost a moment's time in hunting: that I counted only that time lost which I spent in working." - Burton L. Spiller Link to post Share on other sites
WyomingArt Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 To paraphrase the late Col. Jeff Cooper. The best use of a pistol is to fight your way back to where you left your rifle. Looked for but couldn't find the original quote, found variations on that theme. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Quindt Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 While it is eminently desirable that a hunter should be able to rough it....it is yet not at all necessary that he should refrain from comfort of a wholesome sort when it is obtainable T.R. POTUS #26 Link to post Share on other sites
