Years back I had a neighbor who has since passed on constantly complain that when he did go hunting he never got a deer. He finally quit going so one day he looks out and sees two deer hanging off the tree in my back yard. The wife and I were both successful so he comes over totally amazed that there's two deer hanging. (This was before we had a tall fence placed around the property.) I'd told him to put in with us and I'd try my damndest to see he was successful but he just wouldn't do it. We saw quite a few deer that year, 1987 as I recall.

Every once in a while I'll hear "did you catch anything?" from people. It's usually from people who probably don't hunt.

Around here I usually get asked, "what did ya kill?" If I didn't kill a deer I just say "time"

Dad

Dad used to greet other hunters, anglers (he actually didn't like to fish, but took me some), and especially family, with...."Well (name if appropriate), how many and what kind? No so sure his Dad, my pap, didn't use the same thing.

I've adopted it as well.

It used to be a requirement in Maine that part of a deer had to be exposed when transporting, but after numerous complaints by "the public", we don't have to do so. However, if we pass one Inspection Station, we could be in trouble with the law.

The number of "Inspection Stations" has dramatically decreased because the public doesn't like seeing dead deer when they shop in a store. Can't blame them much, but sometimes we've had to travel over 20 miles to find a station.

Now, a local meat cutter is also a tagging station, so a one-stop situation and only a few miles from our hunting area...and home.

I am from north central PA and I have always heard "Did you get anything" regardless if it was a man or a woman asking.

Chicago urbanites are amazing. My co-worker hit me with rapid-fire questions as I showed her pictures on my phone.

"What is that thing?"
"How come it's letting you grab it's horn?"
"You must be a real jerk to tease it and then kill it."
