RE: What's the craziest thing you've ever heard
While getting permission from an older farmer to track a wounded buck onto his land he says:
"so you say he was a big one? What do you figure, 7 or 800lbs?"
He must have been going senile because he's lived on the land for 50yrs, and there are no moose in the area.

Hardcore, I actually caught a show with Jim Zumbo a couple nights ago where he was pretty apologetic about some of those statements he had made. Now he may have been forced to become apologetic, if you're right about losing sponsorships and the like... But he showed an episode of where Ted Nugent invited him over to his ranch and spent a couple days educating him as to how fun assault rifles could be, and how we all needed to stick together. At the end of the show, he said "Ted's right, and I was wrong. We do need to all stick together..." Interesting show.

I saw that show also Greg. It was basically a whole show on "I was wrong, you were right." I didn't know about the firstshow where he made the comments on assault rifles, but it sure must have got some folks fired up. It seemed obvious to me it was a program meant to "fix" his image.

When antler restrictions were new in PA I had the owner of an archery shop tell me, "What a waste of time. We don't have the genetics here to grow big deer. Just because you let them get old doesn't mean they'll suddenly get big genes. The big ones are born big."
He couldn't understand why I stared at him blankly in silence for a minute before asking for my bow back and leaving.

I had a buddy try and to convince me to switch over to carbon arrows, he said he got 330 fps out of his 1998 browning with them. When I argued with him he gave me the "I think I have been doing this longer"

My younger brother told me one time that he didn't like to hunt in the rain because deer didn't come out when it was raining. I asked him where did they go.

If I had a dollar for every PA buck that "field dressed over 200 pounds" - I'd be a wealthy guy.
I was also surprised to learn that deer hibernate in caves. Not sure when, exactly.
I also learned (from a guy who has coincidentally never killed a nice buck) thatmature whitetail bucks are attracted to the smell of cigarrettes. [:-]
