I would like to post my most memorable experience from deer hunting.

Well a few years ago I was hunting over in Amherst Junction (Portage County) with my father, brother and another father son pair. Our friends owned a small shack adjacent to public domain. There was about 3 inches of snow on the ground and it was a cloudy day. We should have known we would come home empty. Anyway this area was semi wooded but also marsh. I spent all morning perched on a 20gallon pail with my trusty shotgun. The rest of my party was somewhere else for the duration. Not one sign of life other than the community birds, squirrels and a rabbit. Then noon rolled, we joined back up for lunch break.

Shortly after heading back to the cold to catch that 30 pointer, we had decided to drive the deer. We were in pairs spread out every 50 feet or so. Anyway my brother and I were together going over a 100-foot length trail bridge, which crossed the marsh. There was another pair of hunters with the same idea on the other side coming toward us. Then the unthinkable happened a 13 pointer with a beautiful spread jumped on top of the bridge right between us and the other group. The buck stood there resting up for at least a minute just looking at us. Funny, the other group ruined our great shot, or is it we ruined theirs'!?

A couple of Rednecks are out in the woods deer hunting when one
of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing
and his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips
out his cell phone and calls 911.

Panic-stricken, he says to the operator, "I think Cletus is
dead! What should I do?"

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it
easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a shot rings out.

The Redneck comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what?"

One of the funniest bits on hunting I've heard is Bill Engvall where he talks about how he takes his wife deer hunting. It is absolutely hilarious. My favorite line is where tells his wife, "Why do you think I brought this gun? Do you think the deer is going to rob us?"

Quote:

John was a minister who neglected his congregational duties on opening weekend to go deer hunting. While out hunting, he stopped to take a break when suddenly he was confronted by the largest, meanest looking bear he had ever seen. The bear stood and advanced on him, popping it's jaws and snarling. In his fear, John emptied his rifle without hitting the bear. Dropping the gun, he turned and ran as fast as he could in a vain attempt to outrun the bear. John ran up to the edge of a very steep cliff. John was terrified and knew he was going to be attacked. Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather quickly, John got down on his knees, opened his arms, and exclaimed, "Dear Lord! Please give this bear some RELIGION!" The skies darkened and a bolt of lightning flashed. Just a few feet short of John, the bear came to abrupt stop and glanced around, somewhat confused. He seemed to become very calm. Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky, put his paws together, bent his head, and said "Thank you, Lord, for the food I'm about to receive."

Saturday morning a deer hunter gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his lunch made, puts on his long johns, grabs the gun and goes to the garage to warm up his truck and head down to his favorite hunting area. He backs his truck out of the garage and discovers the rain is really pouring down, It is like a torrential downpour. There is also some snow mixed in with the rain, and the wind is blowing 50 MPH. He comes back into the house and turns the TV to the weather channel. He finds it's going to be bad weather all day long, so minutes later, he puts his truck in the garage, quietly undresses and slips back into bed. There, he cuddles up to his wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispers, "The weather out there is really terrible" To which she sleepily replies, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out hunting in that?"
