Hunting Pranks!!
 

I was just wondering what is the funniest prank that you have played on a hunting buddy?

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Fake rattlesnake in the outhouse. He came back in the cabin white as a ghost and got the gun. I had to stop him before he shot it. I dont think he's forgiven me to this day.

Mannequin from a dept store in Grandpas stand opening morning. Plywood cut-outs of deer by grandpas stand opening morning, old archery target in the brush just in sight of grandpas stand opening morning, deer tracks in the fresh snow inside grandpas deer satnd 12 feet off the ground on opening morning...you probably see a theme here. He passed away last October. Hunting camp wasn't the same. It was the first year that I think he actually stayed in the woods with me till after dark since I started Hunting

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Made fake scrapes and rubs by our neighbor's stand.:D He hunted that spotfor the rest ofthe season!:)

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Another prank I always wanted to pull, was hauling a deer out in front of our neighbor's trail camera, and having my picture taken with the deer!:D

RE: Hunting Pranks!!

2 turkey seasons ago i got into an argument with my hunting buddies about how i am not afraid of snakes. damn if they didnt kill a 5 foot black snake the next day while they were out hunting together.i was alseep on the couch at the cabin when they returned with their trophy. they took the snake and dangled itON my faceuntil i woke up. its all on film and anytime someone brings up a snake they break out the dvd.

p.s. im taking notes on this thread for my revenge!

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Fake snake tied to the inside of the door in a deer stand. Buddy opened the door and I swear I could hear him scream from my stand. An entire afternoon of huntingwastedbecause I could not be quiet andstop laughing...

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Got an idea last year around Halloween time. I noticed Wally World had some welcome mats with the Halloween theme. The difference was......when you step on the mat it lets out this blood curdling scream.

So.......my plan is to place this mat strategically under my buddies stand....brush it in with a few leaves.......and wait for the excitement to begin. I don't think he has heart problems...... yet. ;)

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

We actually did that on Halloween on path by our house. It was fun listening to the kids scream as they walked on it.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

i thought of making a thread of this i might still idk fits perfect here.

We've moved my buddies stand the night before opener about 15 yards from where he had hung it. He never found it before daylight. He hasn't spoken to any of us in about 2 years

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

I didn't do this but The person that is in charge of the property we hunt took a dead bobcat and put it in someones stand,with it's mouth propped open and teeth showing. You could hear him scream the persons name across the whole farm.


I got my daughter pretty good,it wasn't really a prank but we all had a good laugh when I sent this picture around to the hunters while we were still in the field.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

i know some guys who took a inexperienced friend out to hunt. on of the guys had shot a doe earlier that day and skinned it. the guys made a decoy with the skin and put it in the field. the hunter shot the deer 3-4 times before his friend busted out laughing.:D

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Place raisinets in said scrape!

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

my Friend Brian shot a doe one time and we got on the radio saying Pap!! thers a HUGE doe over here beaded down, we made her look like she was laying there not doing anything propped her head up, and sat back and watched, took in maybe 5 mins to get there and when he did, Hollie Hell broke loose once he saw her, he shot her all 5 times, and was reloding before he saw myself and brian rolling around on the ground behind him, now if we say we see one for him to come shoot it he never comes... hahaha

Anotherreason I would rather take my deer with archery equipment

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

I put a blowup sheep in my buddy's camperbed with a container of lotion and a note begging him to be gentle.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

we stole a guy from camps deer out of the tree he had it hanging in. he was flipping blaming the locals th quarry men ect. We dressed the deer up in a poncho straw hat and cigar and sat it in a chair on our porch while he was in the woods playing detective and he walked back into the house right past the deer. He didnt notice the deer till he went outside to smoke another cigerrette.. ya had to be there It was amusing..

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

EWE ain't right.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

I like pranks as much as the next guy, but if someone did that to me, I would probably kill them.;)

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

When I was 15 I went bow hunting with my dad for the first time. It poured the rain all day so by 9 i had gotten out of my stand and was sitting on the ground when the urge to urinate hit me. Instead of letting it fly right there i walked 20 yards down the hill to relieve myself when i heard what sounded like a huge buck grunt. I immediately stopped doing my business although it burned like fire. I heard another grunt. By now im laying on the ground crawling to get back to my bow. Each time i hear a grunt i get lower and lower to the ground and my pants which i didnt take the time to button slid further and further off. I finally got back to the tree my bow was leaning on and i hear two more grunts. Im so excited im fumbling my bow everywhere. By the time i finally get my bow in hand i hear my dad laughing his A%# off. Thats a memory I will never forget.

During late winter one time we got this really nice coyote and froze it in a standing position with a 2X4 helping hold it up and put it about 200 yards off this gravel road. You wouldn't believe the people in our group of wolf hunters that stopped and shot this darn thing. It was hilarious they would knock it over and run out there and see the prank and everyone that fell for it stood the thing back up for the next victim. By the time it was over he wasn't near as pretty. Heck one day I was going by and slammed on my brakes forgetting that I had put it out there at least I realized be4 I shot it.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Many years ago in high school one of my friends was just getting into deer hunting and didnt know a thing about deer. My other buddy and I explained to him about hunting over scrapes and using blinds. One day we set up a fake scrape and set him in a blind a few yards off of an old logging road. Abot 5:00pm my co-conspirator went running up the trail, stomped around in the scrape, chewed on a branch, took a piss and ran off in plain sight of our friend. The look on his face when we came walking up a few minutes later was priceless!

He got us back though, a couple of days later he killed a nice buck while sitting on a stump- with his MOM! He was the first of us to kill a nice buck.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

I don't know if this counts as a hunting prank, but it is related. Once my cousin got back to his house from hunting and his wife was asleep on the couch, so he got the bright idea to play a prank on her. He took a little paper towel and dipped it into his Tink's 69 and wiped it on her upper lip! She didn't talk to him for three days. He said she woke up madder than a hornet! If I was his old lady I would have divorced him for doing that!

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

These are awesome.....

We've pulled a few stunts in my duck hunting days.....but nothing to speak of, really.

Best one I know of (personally) was a guy that works with us (Surveyor) was deer hunting with a friend of his......and the guy shoots a turkey. Not knowing if it's even in season or not.....the guy brings back his bird to camp.....and askms my buddy Jim (who's an avid turkey hunter....and shot a 26#'er this year) what he should do.

Jim tells him not to tell anyone, after seeing the bird. He also explains, in detail, how to clean the animal.....and tells him to call him when he gets it skinned.....and before he does anything else to it.

Guy calls back to camp a little while later (he'd stuck his bird behind the seat of his truck for the ride home).....and Jim puts him on speaker phone back at camp......to let everyone know how the guys had done dressing out his BUZZARD.

That's a true story.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

I've done the "put empty cartridges in my buddy's stand" or "put old bloody arrow in ground below buddy's bow stand" before and it never fails to get a good reaction.

I've also posed in front of my buddy's trail camera with a deer before.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Friend of mine killed his first with a bow. Wanted me to show him how to field dress it and bone it out so he could take the meat to the processor. Once I got her skinned out, I told him that I had to remove the POISON GLANDS, ( inner loins, or sweet loins as we call em) Told him to make sure that he told the processor that the poisin glands were removed!!! He did, the processor never gave me up and I ended up with three more sets of poison glands by the end of the season. Bill if you are readin this, thanks, they were great!!

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

this was a long time ago, one of my friends dad owned a farm and my friend had his favorite spot with a home built stand, well one of my other friends mad a dummy and dressed it in orange and went in the night before buck season and put the dummy in his tree and sat a back pack under the tree right at the base of the ladder, then he got up at 3 am and went and set about 30 yds behind his tree stand in the luarel, when my friend got there and saw the backpack he then shined his flashlight up in his tree stand and saw this guy dressed in orange, he talked to him and began to yell at him and actually left to call the police to have this guy arrested for trusspassing, at that point my other friend snuck out , when he finally figured out who did it, they didnt talk for over 1yr....man i wish i would have been there to hear him giving the dummy what for.!!!!

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

That is freaking hilarious.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

OH man this thread has got me rolling......

This is kind of an on going prank..seems like very year someone takes a buck and doesn't tell anyone and someone ends up with a set of buck balls greeting them in morning when they are climbing to their stand.

Nothing like deer balls smack'n ya in the face first thing in the morning.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

Too funny...you'd be surprised how many people I've seen say they've seen turkeys on the side of the road eatin roadkill. [8D]

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

That has to become your signature line... LOL


The first time my best friend, father, and I went to northern Quebec for caribou I stole every dollar out of my buddy's wallet. Mind you we are in Schefferville, a small crap-hole of a town with no way to get more money, when he reaches for his wallet to pay for his license and he has nothing. He went completely white and literally almost fainted. I laughed so hard I cried, but for some reason he did not find it funny.

RE: Hunting Pranks!!
 

im dying...love these stories..

not really a hunting prank...but played it on dad at camp. i took my dads buddys brand new 40-50k$ truck native trout fishing in the middle of nowhere. honest good 5 miles from the hard road and nearest house. a wierd storm rolled in while i was back there and cut my trip short. got back towards camp and seen it was sunny and never stormed. dad should knew better...you dont get reception with a phone unless your on the top of the mountain within a couple miles of camp...my trip was about 15 miles away...

im pulling down the driveway and call him. i said dad! ask Joe where the spare tire is on this thing i cant find it! hes like WHAT!?! where are you? i told him i was still back in the national forest..hes screams JOE!! we gotta go! Devin has a flat tire back in the national forest. meanwhile they are stranded..i took the only truck. they were enjoying some adult beverages anyhow...i think it made things better. dad is just goin nuts panicing. thats when i pulled into the camps drive beeping the horn and blasting the radio. ive never seen dad that mad. he said alot of words i dont hear from him to often lol. but me and his buddies were rollllllin because he paniced and went nuts. he eventually found it funny. to this day when i bring it up he mumbles some choice words.....

Sounds like you guys really had some fun with Grandpa. He must have been a real good sport, sorry for your loss.

Every year someone from camp (gun season in the U.P.) goes home with a pair of womens panties. Oh yea they tried to get me my first year up there with them but my brother-in-law told me about their little stunt and I put them in his Dad's bag. Needless to say Igot the last laugh.
