Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Its meme time

Yep! I told my 4 yr old nephew that one time.

"How do you know?"

"Look at the way they point. They should point in."

"Oh"

He then crossed his legs so they pointed the "right way".

He never grew out of it. . Years later when he was home on leave after a tour of duty on a Nuke sub, we were sheep hunting. Climbing a steep slope he complained about his Achilles hurting.

Using a poor choice of words, I told him "Whenever we stop, stand downhill.' Meaning. "facing downhill". This gives some relief to the tendon, for you flatlanders.

The next time we stopped, after climbing in staggered formation to avoid falling rock from th next person uphill, he carefully took 2 sideways steps sideways to a spot directly downslope from me.....

I looked at my youngest brother, on the hunt with us, and said, "We aren't safe!"
