I'll meet you at 6AM--means I'll be there between 6:30 and 10 o'clock.

What time you headin' back out?-- means how long of a nap do you need and should we put some food on.

-Hit behind the "front shoulder" Does a deer have a back shoulder?

-Goofiest one to me: "toboggan". In the south I guess that's a hat. To the rest of the world it is a sled!

- Use of "stick and string" when a guy carries a compound really bugs me! (And I am not a compound hater!)

After cursing through every slice and missed shot on the first nine holes, a golf partner said to his frustrated and cursing partner, "I think I can tell you your problem." "Really?" "You just aren't that good."

Since I just got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon, all these terms about hollers, draws, etc., got me to thinking. Now THIS is a holler!

Michigan 11 point = spike
Michigan 12 point = spike on one side fork on the other
split tail = doe
Muy Grande = a very big buck me and a buddy hunted in Oklahoma for 3 years and never had a shot
Here in Michigan the yoopers (those that live in the upper peninsula) call those of us that live in the lower peninsula "trolls" because we live below the bridge. The yoopers sing a song about a "tirdy point buck"... you guessed it; 3 on one side, broke off on the other.
fun stuff here!

Anything big, ie, fish, deer, turkey, or whatever. = "Moo-con"

Act of shooting a animal until dead = "Putt'in the quadhedous on'em"

First one came from an old friend and the second is all mine. Neither can figure out orgin, but still use to this day.

Do or do not. There is no try.

When we turkey hunt we go out and get "buried up next to a log."

If we only have a couple of guys deer hunting, one of us goes and gets "buried up" and "gets quiet" and the other one "makes a circle." This involves "sneaking" through the property in a zig zag pattern in sort of a two person deer drive.

My grandfather refers to any centerfire cartridge smaller than. 243 as a "needle blower."
