Ever wished you could just grab that word, sentence or statement you made from mid-air, and stick it right back in your trap? Sometimes I just remember events and "famous" statements made at camp that give me a good chuckle.

Like the time my friend was returning to camp by boat, with a guide onboard. At the distance, some husky fellow in a red plaid shirt was casting from the dock.

"What's that guy fishing for?" says my friend.

"That's my WIFE!" said the guide. OUCH!!!
 
Years ago a bunch of Dad's friends were at the camp. Two separate groups of pals so some didnt really know each other. One night after a few drinks and a round of cards, Everybody goes off to bunk. In the still of the night...One guy starts yapping about a fine piece o skin that used to work at the community college. She had quite the reputation. :wink: Buddy #1 says what was her name and who was she. Buddy #2 looks across the table and says : "She's my X wife". Simultaneously everyone started to snicker liike they were breathing with marbles up their noses.

Some years later Buddy #2 was diagnosed with terminal cancer. We had a party for him at the camp...kinda like a living wake. Partner 45's was the game and Buddy #2 made a real dumb play...his partner looked across the table and said "What the "frig" is wrong with you?" There was an immediate hush...broken by a chuckle and a head shake from Buddy #2. He got his answer a few weeks later when buddy #2 passed on.

RIP Dave...we miss ya big guy!
 
One of my buddies asked me to tune in CBC Radio instead of the country station on his first trip last year. He said he missed the news and the cultural programming or something... We razzed him for the duration :twisted:
 
One guy I was guiding last year insisted he heard an elk bugle......it was a squirrel. Oh man, did he get the full treatment for that one....Here's some examples I recall

......."hey guys, there's an elk in that tree over there, see?...he's eating a pinecone"

"yeah, elk climb trees like that cause the snow is too cold for their hoofs"

"it's kinda small for an elk, maybe it's a Coues"

"there's an elk in our tent"

"listen to all those elk chattering"

It just never friggin ended. I though the hunter might snap and do us all in so I had to put a stop to it.

well I will give you 2 examples of a newbie in hunting camp that to this day get ribbed every time we see him !

#1, a fellow with us on a bear hunt , we were driving up to a cutline when we passed a bever pond that had flooded the road in the morning, on the way out that night the forestry had blown the dam and drained it, the fellow looked over at me with a deer in the headlights look on his face and asked , what will the beaver eat now that they let the fish out of his pond :shock:

#2 same guy that fall at moose camp, as we are sitting around having a coffee in the morning he pipes up out of the blue and says did you know that moose can dive up to 25 feet deep in water to forage for food :shock: , as my buddy a profesional diver pipes up and says to hell with hunting here lets head to the coast, salt water moose hafta be bigger than pond donkeys :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not saying that it's ok or not to be listening to the CBC on the ol'radio. But how about taking the wonderfull leap of deconnecting one's self from the world :?: At least one week every year :!: What would be next ? Sat. T.V/radio, beepers, cell phones and laptops at the deer camp?
No thanks :)

Agreed with that. We don't listen to any radio at the camp, no phones, no TV.

Now a lap top and a digital cam would be useful for the CGN, day by day update :D

Ya see the old man and many of his mates worked for the local Phone Co. They rigged up one of those old fashion box phones. U know the kind...hold the ear piece in one hand and speak into the box. Well every year...some Newbie...would be asked to call for a pizza and every year someone would fall for it. They'ld wait and wait and keep asking where the pizza is and would it be free. There are no poles...no lines...no dial tone and this is back in the 70's...way before cell phones.

We have a radio at the camp rigged up to a car battery...but no TV despite the moans of some members.
