Yes swamp donkey is also negatively associated with an ugly woman raping men too drunk to defend themselves but where not going off that road I learned that googling as well. is interesting to say the least if some city folk come walking by and hear ya say just got that swamp donkey earlier this morning they might not know what to do.

Also mud bug = craw dad = crayfish or crawfish or freshwater lobster

Eating tag soup: unsuccessful hunter has not been able to tag a downed big game animal and is forced to eat his tag since he has no game meat to eat.

Sky bustin: shooting at birds on the wing too far away and/or too high (another applied the term 'sky scraping' in an earlier post for this same concept).

Raghorn: a bull elk with legal but sub-trophy sized antlers

Piss cutter: a small Bull Elk or Mule Deer buck. This seems to be an expression used almost exclusively by hunters from Utah.

Draw: a ravine or other valley-like feature of the land -- but smaller than a valley.

Bench: a flat or flattish point along a mountain ridge.

Park: an open grassy area in the mountains. Elk sometimes like to feed in parks.

Party Meat: Antlerless deer taken with party tag by huge gang of hunters, generally taken down with 6 or more rounds of ammo

Cow: What seemed like a nice sized party meat deer. Gang no longer hunts on or near this land.

Is the six rounds manditory and if so how much good meat is left?and is that the reason a person can no longer hunt a "cow"?
