The No-Shame Thread

Don't tell anyone but I was born naked, hairless, and toothless and going that way again

Like an ole man I worked with used to say to newbies, "I've had a rough life. I was born very small at an extremely young age." And, "I came into the world naked, screaming, and covered in someone else's blood and I don't mind leaving it that way."

Edit: that guy was a blast. So many memorable moments. Whenever the boss would try and get "hard" with him he'd go from jolly to dead eyed and say, "I've quit better jobs than this." Then laugh and say he loved you.

He finally quit one day by telling the boss, " Can you hold this for a minute?" He handed him the tool he was working with and just walked out the door. Absolute madman.

Seriously. Besides the obvious obsession of young men with any holes they discover, and especially those on living things, can anyone explain to me why you'd use a butt out?

We used to get 3ft square boxes of the things around deer season at my old store. Like enough to fill a whole 4ft section of aisle, and then enough leftovers to do an endcap display and clips trips. They always sold out before end of season. I just wanna know if I'm missing something. Cutting around the anus with a pocket knife is fast and easy, but fear of missing out man.

I tried one on a deer once. All I did was make a big mess. I prefer field dressing with the saw shown in this video...


Split the pelvis, split the rib cage. Better access and cleaner. The butt out is nothing but a gag gift (insert joke here) and gimmick IMO.
 
Unless bound by some hairbrained game laws, I will never understand why folks insist on removing the guts from a deer carcass when they are nicely contained like they come? If'n yall figure out where the batteries go in that butt tool, KEEP THAT SH!T TO YOSEF.

So, on one hand, gutless method is so much quicker, cleaner, and easier.

On the other, liver and heart is delicious. Lately I've been field dressing a few here and there if I know those organs are intact.
 
Hunting is such a love hate relationship for me. It gives me annexity to no end. Not sure why I do it. When it all goes right, it's awesome. When it dosent, I wanna jump off the stand. I hate waking up hours before the sun comes up to trip over sticks in the woods to hopefully shoot $200 worth of meat that cost me 200+ every year in hunting crap I don't need or things I loose and need to replace.
I really want to be a ground hunter. But can't stand not seeing more than 30yards around me.

Hunt areas with dense overstory where you can only see if at or near ground level.

Honestly, I can usually see better from the ground down here. I'm really digging going back to my roots with the pacseat. I used to think it was a disadvantage, but with the mini and a few extra year's knowledge under my belt I'm starting to think differently.

I sit down to pee at night so I don't have to turn a light and wake myself up, and avoid spraying all over. In doing so, I've fallen asleep on the toilet no less than a dozen times and woke up with legs completely numb and no idea where I was.

I actually sit down an pee all the time...Not sure when I started but personally I just like to take the mess off my feet and sit. I do go number 2 more often then most at least that is what I have been told. Usually 4 plus times a day. No shame.

I never hunt in the morning because I don't like getting up in the morning and I don't like walking in the woods in the dark. Some how I still fill the freezer.

Moving from Michigan to South Carolina, nobody I know guts their deer down here and everybody I know gutted their deer in Michigan. I think there are two main reasons for this. First, Michigan deer are significantly heavier and reducing weight for the drag is great. Second, most of the season Michigan hunters want to hang their deer for a while and can do so because of the cooler temps. Here in South Carolina my deer never hang for more than an hour.
 
I never smoked but used to chew Levi Garrett occasionally in the stand. I switched from that to Nicorette for health, then started chewing that at work, then got the patch to quit that and now I’m trying to quit the patch.

I’ve hunted the farm I grew up on for 25 years and never shot a deer on it. I’ve shot deer on both ends of it at the neighbors, including a 175, shot deer on public, shot deer on leases, shot deer in the burbs, but home farm is a puzzle I’m still chasing.

I care about global warming more than gun rights and plan to vote blue for awhile in spite of some of the other stuff on that platform that I don’t agree with. So I’m careful where I wander on Archerytalk.

I think climbers have now become underrated, way more comfortable and safer than saddles. Also more comfortable than the jx3. But haven’t personally sat in my climber for 2-3 years.

Every year in the winter the bow is heavily tuned in the basement, shooting bullet holes, I’m in peak form around May, the summer gets busy the plan frazzles a bit and I screw on Spitfires or Montecs in October.

Older I get, and with a toddler, early mornings are getting tougher and less frequent for me too.
