I know this may offend some of the "serious" types, but I noticed on the "deer lease rules" thread, it's ending with some "prank" type stuff, so I figured a new thread would be better.
Here's mine: We have a relative, who is supposedly the best "trophy" hunter of them all. He's always claimed to have made the longest shots, shoots the "biggest" gun, has the "best" truck, and knows all there is to know about hunting. You should have a good impression of him now. Well my uncle had a little plan for him one morning. As we were hunting a very large, south texas ranch, driving around in a truck with a "high rig" on the back is the norm. We were riding around one December morning, when we spotted a "HUGE" buck, about 200 yards off. My "relatives" voice started trembling, and he sure started getting the "fever". He got a good rest, and took a steady shot with his trusty 300 mag. WHAM! Some hair flew, but the deer didn't flinch. WHAM!, again, some hair and debris, , but the deer was still standing. By now, he was flat out shaking, sweating, and cussing in disbelief. My uncle and I were watching with our binoculars, and just ebbing him on to drop this massive buck. Well, needless to say, he emptied his rifle, (and he was a good shot), and stared in disbelief, that the buck was still standing. He was rapidly loosing his cool, when my uncle finally burst out laughing. We then let him in on our "joke". A few days before the hunt, we had taken one of my uncles old, but very good deer mount out of a storeroom. We then took the rack of a pretty decent 10 or 12 pointer, and placed it inside of the big mounted deer. It pretty much amounted to a HUGE, non-typical, with 4 main beams, and probably over 24 big long tines. We placed it in some thick brush and secured it. You could very clearly see only the neck and head above the brush. At 200 yds, it looked EXTREMELY realistic. My "relative" had perfectly placed all 4 rounds of his 300 mag. squarely in the neck. The worst , or maybe the BEST part is that I had a mini tape recorder in my front pocket, and got the whole deal on tape. His sounds of disbelief, cussing, and second guessing himself were absolutely hillarious. He was SOOOOO embarrassed afterwards, and he eventually got pretty upset with us. He tried and tried, for years to get that tape from us, and at one point, if I remember correctly, even tried to purchase it from us. Ever since then, at large family gatherings and what not, my uncle would threaten him that he was going to "release" the tape for the family to hear. He would plead and plead for that not to happen. It never did, and my "relative" is still the "big" hunter. I wonder what ever happened to that cassette. Anyways, I thought this would be a relief from some of the serious stuff we've been discussing about deer leases. So heres to the new thread DEER CAMP PRANKS
Man buckmstr, you were thinking the same, I didn't realize you had already started this thread when I submitted mine. Sorry, but I'm happy to see we think the same. greenie going at you
