My grandpa use to say "Just because you hang out with the owls, doesn't mean you can't get up with the roosters."

After dinner around the fire, a friend's lease member would always say "I'm gonna go get some bread", and he'd fall asleep in the camper. So now whenever someone turns in early, they "went to get bread".

Another lease member and his wife would always sneak off during the day for some alone time. Upon returning, they claimed they were checking the pig traps. Now when anyone is gone for a while and comes back to camp, they say they were checking the traps.

Anytime we were having fun hunting or fishing my dad used to say “I ain’t had so much fun since the hogs ate my little brother”.

Still one of my favorites.

"How old do you think he is? As old as he's gonnna get".

"Never monkey with another man's monkey".

That's in same ballpark as one I heard that's said after demonstrating strength of knowledge in a given area...

"My momma drowned all the dumb babies."

My brother in law says, “I’ve got to $hit like a pet coon”!

if you were ever around a pet coon you would understand that saying ... LOL

Lot of good ones

If you set up a video of our deer camp I dont think a stranger would understand 1/2 of what me and my buddies are talking about. We have a language of our own. Drives our wives crazy when they come to camp.

If I come back and someone asks how I did, if I’ve been skunked, I always say “I left a few for ya”

I always tell my kids to listen for rifle shots in the distance. The Indians had an old saying when it came to gunfire:
" One shot, one deer"
"Two shots, maybe one deer"
"Three shots, no deer"

They always got a kick out of that.

When my brother and I were kids, we would bow hunt out at Camp Bullis with my dad, who was the Commander. He would always ask us before we left the house, Do you have your license? Do you have your permit? It was very funny and we still repeat to each other no matter where we are hunting at.

I like that one.

Reminds me of one that I made up and used for years.

"My mom raised one fool, but he lives in Pasadena", obviously, my brother lived there.

When it was time to get up, my Dad's saying was:
"Un-a$$ that bed"

When he'd miss a dove:
"I shot his brains out. He just doesn't know he's dead yet."

When it was time to leave:
"Let's pi$$ on the fire and call the dogs."
Which prompted one of my more gullible friends to promptly stand up and whiz in the fire then tell Dad "We don't have any dogs here"

Growing up in the country, we always said,”city folks that think they’re country make us laugh”.

Didn't see dam $hit. Clearly self explanatory.

If someone missed a shot my dad would comment he couldn't hit bull in the ARss with a base fiddle or he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

If you want to shoot a buck then don't shoot a doe If you want to shoot a big buck than don't shoot a little one

Anyone say "if it is brown, it is down" yet? Or "if it flies, it dies"
We like to kid the AR hunters at the lease next door that can't hit jack squat. When we hear BANG... BANG, BANG, BANG. We just say "they are practicing there follow up shots."

All I saw was what the cow left in the pasture...

In High School carrying the shotgun to the truck during dove season after chores Dad would holler out, "Leave two to reproduce!" Once when sighting in deer rifles a friend just couldn't even get on paper. Dad took the rifle, handed it to me, and said "You shoot it." Not gonna say I drilled the 10 ring but it was a good shot. Dad took the rifle from me and handed it back to him saying, "It ain't the arrow. It's the Indian." Whenever someone kills a smallish buck and asks, "How big do you think he is?" I say, "That's about as big as a deer that size is gonna' get." That applies to fish, as well.

Oh, we had a guy in camp for years we called "lightening." A guest once asked if he was really that fast? We said, "Nope, but he never hits the same place twice."

Dad- "East Texas 3 Count." Deer! buck! boom!

Grandfather- "can't eat them horns" and "if you kill the does, won't be no bucks"

Don't climb a dead tree.

It's deader than dirt.
