Smoked him!

[devildog]

I don't get upset with anything someone says when they kill an animal legally. My way of honoring the animals, I kill is to make sure I use as much of the animal as possible to feed my family, but that might not be your way. Stay in your lane, and I will stay in mine.

I can't believe nobody has said it yet....the worst of them all, "Harvest". I don't know about you all but I don't harvest deer. I kill deer. Plain and simple.

Nah. Harvest is good, it applies. The animal is a renewable resource, you "kilking" is harvesting of that resource.

Lots of interest in what others say during their hunts.

You can tell some folks are done smoking deer for the year.

Ouch! If that was the case it’s a wonder you’re ever in the woods. Let’s stay on topic.

Perfect example - I usually like this channel, but after he claimed he "smoked her" after a gut shot with a gun, he should be proud.

Why does it matter what someone says after they kill a deer?

275 grain bullet from .444 at 40 yards, quarter to me. Ran in fifty yard circle, crashed, gurgled, kicking, silence.

walk over in dark with no gun. He was very much alive and very uninterested in having my hands on him and my knife in his neck.

the next morning, he was very much alive, and very uninterested in having our hands on him.

that strap was not for dragging or skinnin…and that blood ain’t from the entry wound.

This is why I don’t say smoked him until he’s in the truck.

Legal limits are just that, limits. And subject to change, including restriction. Conscientiousness and responsibility help keep things between the uprights.

Conscientiousness comes from ones' sense of conscience. Responsibility comes from ones' sense of what is responsible. Problem with those as a 'public' guideline is who's sense is 'correct' and who's is 'incorrect'?

Is mine right because it comes from my own mind or is yours right because it came from yours? What bothers me or you, might not bother someone else in the slightest. It's a moving target and will constantly change.

What we need is to be united in purpose, obey all the laws, be model citizens, and give each other some slack on the gray areas.

I don't care who you are, if you put a .45 caliber, 240 grain slug through a sow's neck and break her spine and bust the ball socket of the shoulder on the far side...you just smoked'er, son!



Don't have pics of the does I killed the next day who had an entrance wound in the front shoulder and a slug in her hip, but she got smoked too. I watched the soul get knocked out of her when the bullet hit.

Unless you are within earshot, it doesn’t.

Smoked him could just as well be Fried him, or some other such cute nonsense.

Most of these phrases I imagine are learned from watching hunting videos. But who really cares what someone else says after shooting an animal? That’s a fat hoss, Nelly.

 

[CooterBrown]

Just heard a new one. "Melted her"

Really, what good is done by exclaiming "smoked him"?

I see no upside.

As well, I don't see blind union as a positive thing. But this hits too close to politics for much more discussion.

I will comment though, that 'conscientious' and 'responsibility' are not words with an inherent disregard of others. Certainly, it's with the future of hunting in mind that I've applied the terms.

I don’t care what people say, but it sounds off to me. You smoke someone if you beat them in a race or shoot with a gun, or bomb. Just seems off for zipping an arrow through a deer. But whatever, nothing wrong with being excited.
