I also love still hunting deer and hogs in a light rain when it is freezing. Animals like to bed up then and their senses are not as good. Best reason is that my size 13 boots don’t make much noise.

I wear camo top to bottom when I go hunting. We wear camo when we go shopping. When there is a local sporting event, we attend wearing our hunting camo and root for the local team. The two times the local high school won state, we were there rooting for them. We open doors for all the ladies and older men. We smile and say hello to all that we meet. When we go out to eat, we tip more than the normal 15%. All the people where we hunt in West Texas don’t know our names but those we deal with do. When we travel, I live in East Texas and deer hunt in South and West Texas, we wear camo. I wear my camo pants working in the yard at home. Often when I shopping at home, I wear my camo shirts. I and my hunting buddies wear camo to tell the world that hunters are not the bad people the far left make us out to be. Maybe if all hunters did as we do, public opinion of hunters would improve.

I wear camo when duck hunting, but that's about it.

Since we're on the subject of beavers, one must understand the flip side.

Hugh the Goliath

In high school they called him Colossus
And the boys were all startled to see
That his gift was as long and as thick as a cuke
That went from his crotch to his knee.

No regular briefs could enclose it
No pant was designed to hold
The root that they spoke of in whispers
And about which legends were told

It was said that when soft, Hugh would use it
Like a rope to tie girls up for fun
When hard, it would shade the cheerleaders
And keep them all out of the sun

Hugh's uncut appendage was famous
Everyone hoped for a glimpse of his prize
All the guys craved his turgid Goliath
All the girls longed to feel its great size

But although its bulk was enormous
And everyone longed for its girth
Hugh died a young man and a virgin
He was buried face down in the earth

The reason, 'twas said, was quite simple
And most geologically sound
If Hugh popped a boner while facing the sky
He'd dig himself out of the ground

If I were a youngster taking up hunting today, I could not afford it. Even with my present salary.

Boy that's the truth showed up with my dads ithaca 16 ga and I swear one guy with the group had never seen a gun w/o a vent rib. You would have thought I was carrying a matchlock. Upland hunting is sadly going the way of fly fishing. It all about the brand of your waders etc. I was at the pond at the local golf course throwing bugs with my old brown glass fenwick wearing a medalist reel. Some guy immediately began telling me how no one could throw a line with one of those even after I caught 2-3 bass while he was talking to me.

I used to fish without cammo. Frag grenades work better than camo. It was a long time ago.

I found camo worked well when I was dating.

Was using my favorite Model 12 several years ago on a pheasant hunt. Dumb azz kid ( ok he was at least 30) serious as hell comes up and asked me "why are you using a civil war gun???"

Must just be your usual stupid city fu-cks. Most of the young guys around here hunt with pump guns and use them with proficiency.
