From an old-timer in deer camp when an ass-hole was giving one of the guys a load of crap for missing a deer:

"If you ain't missed, you haven't hunted much or ain't trying hard enough."

From the same old-timer, who got his buck every year, usually the biggest taken in camp. This was the story of how he took that year's buck:

"So I whipped out mah pecker, took a piss in the scrape, and this buck started gruntin' and came right in."




But my all-time favorite is this, said after any unsuccessful hunt: "That's why they call it huntin' and not killin."



A wise man is frequently humbled.
