That thread about the friendly buck was a trip down memory lane. Got me thinking about the tricks we used to play on fellow hunting partners and even hunters we didn`t know. (please no flames as I`m not claiming that the "Friendly Buck" was a fraud) It jus` looked.... um,... funny...
So guys and gals, fess up. We want to hear about the tricks you have used on others and also those where you were on the recieving end. It`ll also be a great source for future "projects" too, hehe.
Personally, I believe it is better to give than to recieve.....
Here`s the one my pard`s and I used the most. Not a new idea by any means. I bet it`s been around since man learned to hunt...
Back 30 years ago, when average sized racks were of little value, or maybe $1.00 - $2.00 at garage sales, we`d buy em up, screw them to a 2x4 and chop a hole in a 30 gallon drum for the 2x4 to jam into and stick it up on the edge of a clearcut (logged off area), at least 250 to 300 yds from the road. We`d throw a deer hide over it and find a good place to sit off a ways and watch the trucks roll down the road, slam to a stop, doors fly open like it`s on fire inside, and guns blasting away at the drum. BOOM!-Clang!, BOOM- Clang! We watched one fool run uphill about 30 yards at a whack, stop and shoot, then run another 30 yards and shoot again. He was a real happy camper when he got close. We laughed ourselves sick.
LOLOL. We had to save all our deer hides because it did`nt seem like a good idea to go near the "Deer" again after we`d pissed off a bunch of roadhunting trailertrash with more beer than brains. LOLOL. One time a pickup came down the road, stopped, the fellow gets out, used REAL BINOS instead of his riflescope to evaluate the "Deer", and proceded to laugh til we thought he`d have apoplexy. His kind were good guys but rare as hens teeth.
Those sure were the days.
Ok, I started it off, lets hear it folks.
