Partner (67) and I (69) have been deer hunting together since our youth as our dads were friends and deer hunting partners since 1952. Dads always took us out of school for a week to accompany them to deer camp. Our dads have passed in the last couple of years. Since our dads retired from hunting, due to age and physical limitations, we open archery deer camp each year with this bourbon toast, "To our dads, us, and those like us . . . damn few." After swallowing that first shot of bourbon, we cough-bark-gag-and-sputter together and then say, "Smoooooooooooth!" It's our annual tradition.
"Time for a Smooth". Said when returning after dark from an evening hunt.
"There's one thing I like about hunting in the rain . . . nope, I'm wrong."
"Shoot Straight and Point." Said before we head out to hunt because we hate long tracking jobs and long deer drags (point so the deer runs toward the road).
"Those dang deer are good at what they do." Said after yet another unsuccessful hunt.
"Daylight in the Swamp." Said in the morning as a wake-up call meaning, 'HURRY it's getting late'.
"Pee tree." Heading outside to take a leak on the designated, large oak tree. (Can't believe that tree still stands).
"Shot another liverless deer." Dad's both liked liver-&-onions ... we didn't. When cleaning our deer we would throw the liver far from the gut pill before dragging in our deer. Had to 'throw it' as the first time we said this our dad's went to the gut pile to retrieve the liver.
"Anyone can shoot a large deer. Real archers shoot these." Said when I shoot a small deer.
I got a million of 'em. I'll be here all weekend!
