That was as good as the guy that

roped the deer...

I've learned a few of those lessons myself. I would add - "Deer are not attracted to blackberry brandy scented vomit"

Lesson #13 - that's what coyotes are for - they gotta eat, same as worms.

Most people spend 10x as much time hunting as they do scouting. If they flipped that ratio, their hunting would be much more successful.

Last time I went hunting down here it turned into a wild west shootout. bullets flying overhead, I ducked and got the hell out never to return.

That's why it's called "hunting" I guess.

I did all right on my hunting this year, but my stalking sucked. I couldn't get close enough to seal the deal with my muzzle loader.

We weren't finding much in the mountains, so I says to my cousin, let's go down into the desert and see what we can find.

If I had my 7mm Rem Mag, I'd have a freezer full of venison and an 8 point trophy mule deer rack hanging.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, didn't.
