I have a really tough time remembering some of the hunting terms. I really try to use the appropriate word but it just doesn’t happen. In one ear and out the other, that’s me. When my hunter talks about hunting, I really try and pay attention but sometimes my mind wonders off to more important things like I need to paint my toenails because everything isn’t always about hunting.
If you’ve ever seen the Sex in the City episode where Carrie goes to Aidan’s rustic cabin and a squirrel scares the ^%&* out of her she said, ”You can’t be friends with a squirrel! A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit.” Thats me. That would be something I would say.
I’ve asked my hunter to translate my meanings to the correct hunter’s meanings and this is what we came up with.
THW’s term: Bambi Hunting term: Big buck Rex’s term: Thunderhoof
THW’s term: Baby Bambi Hunting term: Button Buck
THW’s term: Caught a deer Hunting term: Harvasted a deer, doe down
THW’s term: Grunt thingymajigger Hunting term: Grunt call
THW’s term: Rattler thingymajigger Hunting term: Rattling horns
THW’s term: For the love of deer Hunting term: For the love of god (I’m sure you’ve said that in the woods.)
THW’s term: Gifted Hunting term: Big Rack
THW’s term: Woman with a Weapon Hunting term: Huntress
THW’s term: The Frying of Foxy Hunting term: Cooking Squirrel
If in the future I use my word, you will understand the meaning.
Have a great day everyone!

As always, a very funny post. Personally, I like the term grunt thingymajigger myself. It’s just funnier.
I love the “caught a deer” line. My friend Hellen, who plans to learn to hunt, she loves to tell people about the time she went with me on a hunt and I caught two ducks. I’m convinced she’s going to keep saying that even as a veteran hunter because it makes everyone laugh so hard.
These are great!
Jody, when the Great Buck rises out of the watermelon patch and gives grunt thingymajiggers to all the young hunters I want you to do the reporting.
Great post, again! Start my day off with a little laughter – always a good beginning to a day!
You know, I think I like your terms better than what we call it…more fun! That was a funny post…you have a great day Hunter’s Wife!
That was funny Jody. Have you learned the difference between a deer rub and a deer scrape yet? That is the one I always pick on my wife about!
Arthur, I’m sure you know the answer to that question.
