It was the reverse for me last week. I was in an aquarium store talking to the owner / operater about trading a treestand for a fishtank. turns out hes a hunter too. didnt look like he was into that kind of thing at all but ya never know.
I love that one.. Or when they forgot they told you the story before and the deer keeps getting bigger with more and longer tines..
If I am dressed up to go out, or am on my streetbike, they think I am full of it, until I pull up the phone pics..
I like it when i pop into Walmart to grab something quick and wander down the hunting aisle. You catch a couple rednecks in there and it is always a 16 or 18 pointer they are chasing. "I seen it last week when I was driving. It crossed the road in front of muh truck and it had 16pts!"
My wife just reminded me of a conversation we had with her Mother the last time they were here. She was trying to talk hunting with me or at least trying to be considerate and talk about deer because she knows I love to hunt. With her attempt to make small talk comes the question of how do they protect their fawns. Where do they birth? Then out comes the mother (in law) of all questions: "Do deer go in caves to have their babies?" Fortunately, I didn't have to answer this one. My wife stepped in and said very sarcastically, "Yeah mom, because we have sooo many caves around here. The deer have GPS and know where they all are." lmao

That brings a laugh Hicks.......... I am never amazed at how many 14 and 16 pointers are running around. I've got one 14 point on camera in 6 years.

True. Can't believe we forgot that bit of info. 200" 16-18pt. Funny thing. Talking to a guy a few years ago at Menards while looking at stands. He is telling me where he hunted. Cool, right around the corner from me. Starts telling me about 160-180" deer in there. Fast forward a year later and my buddy buys the property. Umm. . . 160-180"? 2 years of running cams and hunting the property and I am here to tell you the biggest deer out of there was in the 150s. Some really nice 130-140" deer there. Don't get me wrong. But when people start mentioning several 160-180" deer on a property around here I start questioning their scoring abilities. lmao

Haha "booner" is the most commonly used word by the guys around me to describe anything bigger than 130" inches... when fact is, 95% of them probably have never seen a legitimate booner on the hoof!

Ive gathered more valuable info over the years from hunters simply by acting stupid.
