RE: Hunting slang?
Here are some words you can put in your book:
Getting Skunked - going on a hunting trip and coming home empty handed.
Buck Fever - elevated heart rate that occurs when in plain view of a monster buck.
Boiler Room - the area on an animal where you want to shoot to harvest the animal humanely (the heart/lung area)
Ground Shrinkage - what happens when you find the deer that your buddy said was sure to make the record book only to realize that he would be lucky to fill the stew pot because he is so small.
