Best Hunting Quotes Ever

[Sam1911]

This whole thread reminds me of the Pat McManus story he wrote about his older cousin who was always trying to impress him with his woods knowledge -- especially discovering fresh deer "sign" (droppings).

Any time Pat pointed "sign" that he'd discovered, his cousin would holler dismissively, "Well, you can't EAT 'sign!'"

Until the day Pat brought along a pocket full of chocolate-covered raisins and deposited them in the middle of a trail, and then called his cousin over to see the "sign" he'd found.

"You can't EAT 'sign!'" And then Pat did.

"The hunter's horn sounds early for some, later for others. For some unfortunates, posioned by city sidewalks and sentenced to a cement jungle more horrifying than anything in Tanganyika, the horn of the hunter never winds at all. But deep in the guts of most men is buried the the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the neck hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with spear, and then with bow, and then with gun, and finally with formulae."

When I was a kid my grandpa ran a bunch of cows, lost quite a few calves over the years to stray dogs, one afternnoon I saw a couple chasing the cows, grabbed the rifle and headed out across the field. Cut down on them, just knew I hit one of them, but couldn't find any hair or blood where I shot. When I got back to to the house grandpa was there waiting. Him: "Did ya get'em? Me: Well, I KNOW I hit one, but I couldn't find any sign. Him: Well of course you hit one, no sign is a sure sign you got'em good! He just grinned at me and walked off.
