Ground checking = a southern term for shooting any deer you see then checking it once it is on the ground to find out if it's legal.

Interesting, we tend to call any buck who's primary habitat is in swamp bottom that as they tend to be a unique hunting experience.

Not really all that intreasting.all the old timers refer to moose as swamp donkeys since moose love swamp land.a buck that lives in the swamp is a swamp buck.If you google whats a swamp donkey on defanition is moose the others arent animal related.one refures to kissing an ugly girl the other refures to sweaty....well you can go see yourself lol

Speed Goat

Prairie Maggot or Range Maggot

Prairie Ghost

All terms for Antelope

_uck Buck= one you don't have to count points or judge because it is so huge and because it is the first word usually out of your mouth. This is the best way to judge animals!
