The No-Shame Thread

Oh the shame....Since I was a pre teen 95% of the time when I go hunting I get so anxious I have to poo. It has never went away. I use to try and hold it in which my step mother hated me for since she wouldn't let me use the washing machine. I also use to pray to God to just let me throw up instead. I now just accept it and don't try and hold it in anymore. I always have toilet paper, it's a must. Yes I wiped my ass with just about everything in the woods. Toilet paper is the best, trust me. I've tried everything there is to poo before getting to the woods and so far nothing has worked. If you hunt the same places I do I'm sorry and i know I should have buried it better. I use to be so embarrassed by this, but I now think its hilarious. I always look for trail cams the best I can with the limited time I have. The consistency of the poo is always the same which is weird to me.
I am sure 90% of your diet is carbs. Try eating much more meat and fat than carbs and you will retain better and not have to go at inconvenient times.

Sounds like me when I used to drink a lot

Call it spackling the wall if u in a portapotty..... Not sure what to call it in the woods....gumbo mud?

Has nothing to do with what I eat, I've done keto before.
 
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.
In line with @kyler1945's cathartic griping thread, this here is place to confess your sins and darkest desires.

I'll start...

I've always wanted to use a butt-out tool. I'm not sure what Freud would say about that, but golly gee I wanna see what I'm missing out on. You know they have a version 2? It's been around for years and they've IMPROVED it. Could it be? Might it be? A game changer?

I also miss my hand climber sometimes.

I don't really care for bourbon. Rye whiskey is ok. Vodka is delicious.

I'm unsettled by possums. @denots, there, I said it.

I've rocked a man-bun before. And I liked it.

I don't always just drink domestic lite beer. Sometimes I like a nice, hoppy, slightly prissy and hipsterish IPA.

My wife knows more about cars than me.

I think tenderloins and filet mignon are both practically tasteless and mushy, and highly overrated.
My sin is strictly for people from the Chicago area. Ketchup and mustard on brats is delicious. You can all kiss my a$$.

Ground hunting very nice when you don’t feel like climbing a tree in the dark.
 
For 10 years I successfully avoided accidents in the woods. Last year I had my first woods-shart, with horrible upset stomach. Sat down over a deadfall and finished up, cut up my ruined boxers for TP. Saw the trail cam behind me after I finished up. Had a serious dignity fight with myself right there: steal his card or walk away? Pretty sure I'm famous among his friends now, but I ain't a thief.

I ain't a thief either but in that case I wouldn't have hesitated for one second to steal that guy's $10 trail camera card!
 
I had a similar trail cam incident. I was hunting out of my buddy's ladder stand on his property. Got down after the morning hunt and walked a few yards away from the tree to answer nature's call. Started looking around while relieving myself and realize that I am standing about 10 feet directly in front of his trail cam. *#$@! What do I do? There is no way I am leaving an electronic image of me holding my junk on my buddy's camera. There would be no end to the places he would post it. Or the things he would photoshop into it. I didn't want to steal the card so I pulled it, took it home and deleted everything on it and put it back. Never said a word.
 
I pass up deer all the time if I don't feel like tracking or dragging and I don't tell anyone. I'm a proud scrub buck public land hunter, never cared about getting the big boys for a trophy. I regret letting my buddies son hunt with me on the gun opener, there are only 4 people I truly will hunt with, the ole lady, my son, my uncle and my best friend whenever he finally gets outta the army. I used to be anti crocs now I'm pro crocs and along with with the hunting and fishing shows I watch I also enjoy teen Mom and southern charms.
 
Oh the shame..... Is right!!! I'm ashamed I have so many things I could list on this thread its stifled me from posting until now;

I have skinned and put up hundreds of furbearers (beavers, foxes, coyotes, coons, rats, mink, fisher etc.), but I have yet to butcher my own deer;

I have most of my gear purchase packages sent to my office so my wife doesn't know how much I spend on hunting stuff;

I've admitted this before on this forum...... My wife picks on me when we are on family vacations because I can go into most any wooded area or public land areas and hunt and trap and never have any problems finding my way around... but driving in a city??? Forgetaboutit!!

My mother, my wife and my daughters all have a "20 questions routine" or loud talking system worked out when they know I'll be driving them somewhere ..... to make sure I stay awake at the wheel!!! Me??? Tired???? .... Never!!!!!! I think driving might be THE most boring thing ever to do!!! I give truckers, pilots, etc. a lot of credit.

I've shot some of my biggest bucks not long after I have either gone number 1 or number 2 while out hunting; So you poopers out there don't worry!!

My hunting room is so cluttered I sometimes get the feeling my family thinks I have a hunting gear hoarding problem;

I probably have more bowsights than Lancaster Archery Supply!!! IT is a real problem!!! A close second and third are quivers and knives!!! Let's not talk about traps.... and now this saddle hunting obsession.... Wow!!

I justify the above to myself by saying that my kids may be able to use it when they are ready to hunt. This one also resonates often.... " I could think of a lot of worse things to spend a "couple hundred on."

I put trail cameras up on a great new hunting property I gained access to just this past summer.....at a nudist colony. Man it makes for some interesting viewing to be sure. One day I was checking my cameras and here comes the owner.... .and his dog. Yep, just a hat and shoes and his dog.... now I know why he wanted me to text him whenever I planned on hunting on his property!!!! Quite a few pics of people who have camping sites there too and they are just working, mowing, walking..... in the nude!!! To each his own I guess but I don't understand how mowing the lawn with your junk swingin' all over is anything appealing whatsoever. But I looked at the pics!!!! After about three weeks of that and really not seeing any good bucks on the property I pulled my cams. But a 140 class 10 was taken by a crossbow hunter there last year!!!!
 
Murder is defined as an human unlawfully killing another human. Deer are not humans therefore you’re just killing them. Glad y’all got some animals to kill otherwise I’d be worried.
I agree that it’s technically not murder and almost included that disclaimer in the post but the effort and passion with which I am trying to kill them feels like the hyperbole of murder fits it better. It’s kinda like Dan Infalt as the Big buck serial killer. I am more just the deer serial killer cause I don’t kill a lot of big bucks. :tearsofjoy:
 
this may fit this thread

I lightened up my pack last week, drove down to the lease and started walking to my spot, 20 min into a 1/2hr walk I was thinking man this is great
pack was light as a feather with the HC mini strapped on the back,
walking was great with the lite weight. then I realized I forgot my saddle,
luckily there was a low ladder stand nearby that I hopped into for the afternoon.
 
I enjoy walking through the woods in the dark by natural light over using a light or walking in the day time. It makes my moves methodical and slow going, I find it relaxing and peaceful.

I have a battery back up for my cell phone because I can't put it down while sitting unless it's "prime time".

I have no mercy on the size of a doe, give me a shot and I will destroy its pump house.

I tricked my 3 year old daughter into eating wild game so much that she began to prefer it.

I "bought my ol lady a .270 to get her into hunting" that she has never touched and I use a lot.

Had a 6.5CM built because it was trendy and actually love it, it drops deer like the U.S. drops warheads.

I've watched 8 seasons of Dexter and feel like him every time I hunt and butcher a deer now...

I prefer to refer to whitetails and turkeys as Pine Goats and Pine Pidgeons for unknown reasons.
