1- If the animal sees you before you shoot him, the meat will taste "gamey".
2-If you don'timmediately cut off the testicles, the meat will be poisoned and unedible.
3- Bear and boar have such heavy, strong sternum and rib bones you must use areally high power rifle to first shoot them in the shoulder(breaking the bones) to keep them from charging, then since you can't penetrate the bones to shoot the heart, fire a couple more times and let it bleed to death.
4- Everyone hunts private land (away from the game warden) during the off-season.

Let's hear all the funny, silly, and simply absurd myths andtall tales about hunting!

In a group of wild pigs, no more than one of them will be a boar.

Ostrichs stick their head in the sand when afraid.

Elephants are afraid of mice.

Sorry, I haven't thought of any hunting ones yet.

A deer that the horns do not fork or branch. This can take the shape of2" long straight horns sticking straight up and not curving. Hence the name "spike" its the more common and typically very young deer, 1 1/2 yrs old perhaps, they are also very good eating because they're so young.

There's also ones with curved, developed main beams from 5-10" long, that do not branch at all, not even brow tines..what we call cow-horn spikes, which typically have fully developed body mass and areusually mature deer, which we DO get in the Texas Hill country... I've shot one and seen severy more.)

hope that made sense....

I believe that Ite 622 was stating a myth for your thread. "Once a spike, always a spike."is a hunting myth.
