I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I am originally from Mississippi, where I have deer hunted my whole 31 years on earth, but started duck hunting in Texas last year and can't get enough of it.

Oh yeah, biggest buck I've ever killed was with a company truck. I called my boss to report it and he asked if the deer messed up the truck any. I said the deer hardly did any damage at all, but the three fences I had to drive through to hit the SOB messed it up pretty good. (I was messin' with him, of course, about the fences)

Killed exactly one in my life....
When my Dad was getting up in the years, he couldn't see or hear well and had a hard time getting around but wanted venison. I went down to the creek, picked out a nice one and brought it home for him. My nephew cleaned it for Paw and that made him happy!
My family was always involved in wildlife rehab and I don't know how many little fawns they nursed back to life between 1960 and 2000 so I never had the urge to hunt deer.
Now, pigs are another story - I aggressively hunt those suckers, day and night!

Shot my first deer sitting in tree with my dad above me. He shot one 1/2 hour before I did that was in the same opening 5 yards behind the one I shot. After he shot he handed the rifle down to me. Also shot a limit of mallard drakes with 3 shells. On the wing of course.

I started huntin with my grandpa when I was about 3. Me and him made a deal that I would take a buck for my first deer. Passed up hundreds of doe but never saw one buck while huntin with him. He passed away 10 years ago and it wasn't until 3 years after he died when I shot my first buck with my dad. Since then I've only killed one other buck, still haven't shot a doe though. I've never seen a hog while huntin in a deer stand and the only one I have ever killed was in a trap.
My dad has been huntin for about 25 years and has never killed a deer, turkey or pig. He always let us take the shot at whatever walked by.

I was 14 and was hunting by myself on our deer lease in Nacogdoches county (my dad had dropped me off and went to his stand about 800 yards away through the woods) ....I had my eyes set on this doe....She came out about 175 yards on the power line and I felt confident I could take her from there but my dad insisted on letting her come closer. (We used walkie talkies) long story short, she made it all the way to my box blind...about 20 yards away, she stomped, and stared at the feeder...( I have my eyes locked on her the whole time) to my surprise when I looked at the feeder, I see 2 aoudad standing up under my feeder...no tags in ear or anything...I used my walkie talkie and told my dad I was about to shoot two aoudad and he told me I was crazy...Well I threw my 7 mag up and dropped the first one right under the feeder...the second one ran down the hill outta my sight...well low and behold he popped his head up over the hill and stomped at the other aoudad (he messed up)... I shot him and he rolled down the hill....It was a day ill never forget!!!

My first duck hunt was for teal. I shot twice in 5 minutes and was limited out. I got my 4 in 30 minutes of hunting. I haven't hunted duck much since. I don't like the taste.
I shot my first deer when i was a kid in the neck with my eyes closed because the loud noise startled me.
I've let many deer walk in hopes of getting the bigger one.
I lied to my hunting buddies about wher I shot my biggest deer. I didn't want them crowding me out.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I have not paid to hunt 25 years and do not own the land and its not family land!! Somehow have a couple of buddies that allow me to work for hunting and fishing..... Best money I have never spent!! Now, I have been on leases years ago, 3 or 4 times I think, but that was in the mid to late 80's.

We were talking about hunting hogs with dogs at work day one day and the boss didn't belive us, said we were full of S@#$. So I ask my friend if i could keep two alive the next time we went. Two week later we had three in the back of the truck, had to make a little stop on the way home. Monday morning the boss was very pissed he had three very much alive pigs in his back yard and the GW said someone had caugth them with dogs because of there bleeding ears.

I have helped kill about 2 or 3 dozen coyotes in my life, but all were done with a needle and syringe when the research project ended. Never felt the need to shoot one in the wild, and enjoy seeing them walk back and forth across my property. They don't bother the chickens or goats, so I see no reason to kill them.
I'll kill varmits in the chicken coop, and have killed them as part of predator control programs, but let raccoons that get in my hog trap walk free.
Only killed two unbranched adult bucks. The first was on a doe hunt when we saw this 6-year-old 8-point cull. The owner wanted it gone, and I was happy to help him out. It scored 102. The second was a 4-point on a TPWD drawn hunt. Had a little nubbin on one side, and about 6" total of antler on the other. Heaviest deer I ever killed was a doe.
Deer quality is not measured by antler size
