Hunters Lingo

[Skipmaster1]

Skipper- fawn

[jhg]

One I do not like is: run-n-gun. Aggressively going after elk with a bugle and bow

Back in Maine a small buck was sometimes a "little dubber" or dubber.

[Bucco921]

Dink, Button head, Nanny (mature doe), Sex swing (buddies making fun of my saddle), "The Big One" (Inside joke among-st our crew after buddy shot "the big one" which turned out to be a tiny 8 point)

[Matt Fowler]

whole mess, little more than a s**t load

[NY Yankee]

He's a shooter, he's on my hit list, he's a shooter buck, that's a sho' 'nuf bigun, I gave um a parking ticket, gave um a ride home in the back of my truck, killed um with my ol' stick and string (holds up a $2500.00 compound with a dozen gadgets on it), killed um with my ol smoke pole ($1000.00 stainless steel in-line muzzleloader with synthetic stock and #600.00 scope), boy howdy that was a long poke, I drug um a far piece.

I've heard all of these. Never said any of them myself out of a sense of self-respect.

The camp Bi**h....
First one to tag at the deer camp.

[Pauljr77]

“Coal Hearth” vehicle sized flat spot found all over the mountains in central Pa. I’m sure they had something to do with logging on mining limestone but that’s what I was taught to call them. They typically have scrapes on them…

[DNewer]

Rocking chair head -a buck they had antlers akin to a rocking chair on top of his head

Chop stick head - spike

Key chains -mythical 5 year old or older buck with less than 3 inches of antlers on each side.

Patrick effin Kelly- legendary hog hunter know for the amount of hog death left in his wake

Lucky penny- penny that is found during the hunt that if blames for success of the hunt

Pawldcast- the best of the best bowhunters have a platform called pawldcast where they can create their own echo chambers for what makes a great Bowhunter (not to be confused with podcasts)

Ashby haters-typically pawldcast hosts who make up studies that are designed to create a narrative to detract from the Ashby Studies but in reality are useless random andectotal information that more than not actually validates the Ashby Study

Jansport-a hunting back pack thet does not cost $800-1000 to carry 400 feet to the deer stand.

[Trenton G.]

Michigan 11 point - spike buck
Were they bald or balled? - my question whenever someone tells me they saw a deer
Way back in the Gankas and Gudus (probably spelled that wrong) - term I heard from an old timer up here at school. Means to go way back into what I would call the boondocks. Not entirely sure what those terms mean, all I know is that you go over the gankas and you go through the gudus haha

[A Lex]

Cutlery - Knife
"Where's your Cutlery?"

Cloth Ear'd Doe - Big old long nose doe
"Only saw a couple of Cloth Ear'd does"

Cashews - Refering to an immature male deer, i.e small testicals
"He only had Cashews"

You're right Terry, good fun thread.

Best

Doinker. What a guy from our moose camp called any bull with small antlers.
He still shot them though… 😁

Ground shrinkage.....
The longer a deer lays on the ground after you shot it, the smaller it gets before recovery.
