Hunting pranks...
 

I got to thinking back about a 15 years ago and chuckled to myself remembering a funny prank I pulled on my wife.

We had just started dating and here's how the story goes...

I put my Doe urine in the refridgerator in between hunts and she asked what that was,
in a weird tone along with facial expressions (you know the ones)?
So I said "Doe Urine" and it smells like Roses!
So I grabbed the Urine, opened the bottle and took a HUGE sniff and went "AHHH", "wicked good".
Then I proceed to say "why don't you smell it" and of course she say's "I don't think so"!
Well, I take a few more "HUGE" sniffs and I finally convince her to smell the "roses".
Of course I built it up, saying "it's a faint smell and you MUST take a HUGE wiff to appreciate it".

Well I won!
She stomped away calling me every name in the book.
Everytime I think of her "roses", I laugh my narrow white butt off!!!!
She still calls me a jerk!


Who's got some stories...???!!!

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

I've never pulled any pranks myself, but I've heard guys of doing such things like emptying a bottle of tinks in the floor of your truck.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

I have never personally done this, but I have heard of people taking the gonads from the buck they killed and hanging them above a ladder stand so that when the victim walks to there stand, they get a face full of deer nuts.

About 20 years ago or so my dads buddy (Charlie) calls my dad up and says I hit a buck in the 170" range! We (my family) all head over to the guys place to track this huge buck. He supposively shot this buck in the morning. Well we get over there and start tracking and after about 80 yards of tracking (blood trail sucked) we come over this little hill and all of a sudden there's a huge side of a rack sticking up out of the grass on the other side of a small brush pile. Our hearts damn near stopped at the sight of this rack. My dad and the guy who shot it held us back and they preceded to go while we stayed back and watched. All of a sudden my dad says "Charlie you SOB!!" Here it was a shed (80" shed) sticking out of the grass with a case of Miller Light. My dad had played some kind of prank on his buddy years back, it was pay back time for my dad so Charlie thought this was a super way to get him back. That case of beer did get finished that morning though! It was a good prank and ma ended doing the driving on the way home at noon.

yeah heard of lots of people doing that.

When we was youngins and had nothing to spend our money on we pulled a classic prank on one of our hunting buddies. A friend of mine was in construction. He got some kind of super duper stick anyting type glue.

Back then we had a tradition of loading up the tents and camping out the night before opening bow season morning. He got ahold of this guys release when he run into town and he glued the trigger up really good. So later in the evening my buddy suggests we shoot a little to prepare ourselves and give us all something to do.

The guy drew his bow back and tried 3-4 times to get the trigger to break and it wouldnt. So he let it down pulled it back again same thing. We was laughing so hard we was crying almost he thought we was laughing at the misfortune of his release failing.

He got so mad he threw the release on the ground and said P*ss on this thing.

We run into the bow shop and the guy at the bow shop looks at him like hes crazy. For like 2 minutes our buddy and the bow shop guy starred at each other then the bow shop guy was like are you serious? Me and my other buddy are again are crying from laughing so hard. The bow shop guy tells him what happened and he of course is embarrased and a little PO'd.

We bought him a new release but needless to say that was the Funniest and best 40 bucks we have ever spent. We still all 3 laugh about it till this day.

A long time ago I found a road kill buck, so I cut it's head off and nailed it to a tree by my buddies tree stand. When opening morning came he saw what he thought was a buck and shot it 3 times before it fell off the tree.It blew his opening day of gun season and he was pissed but I was laughing my butt off when I heard the shots.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

Two come to mind....

1. Someone (maybe someone from the forums) got ahold of some photos of some real slammers on their SD card....and switched it out with a friend's game cam, (unbeknownst to the "friend"). I LOVE that one.

2. Guy I work with was hunting deer in his camp, here.....and one of the guys shot a turkey (it's not legal to do so during deer season, in NC). He was really secretive about his "turkey"....and asked my buddy to help him with cleaning instructions. My buddy told him to put the bird behind his trcuk seat....and to take it home to clean it. He gave him instructions on how to do it, right. Well.....the guy goes home....and calls back a little while later to inquire about the smell....and was that normal.

He was cleaning a buzzard.[&:]:D

My cousin once dressed up in a gorilla suite and walked in front of one of my trailcams (supposed to be bigfoot). We had a pretty good laugh about that when I showed him the pictures.

Setup for the coffee maker to go off at 02:30 am once in the motel. Friend who was an IBM C.E. heard that thing go off jumped up and got into the shower.
Me and Dad were doing our best to stay quiet until he came out and all of a sudden SOB. We busted out so damn bad.
Another time Dad and another friend were watching tv and both were under the covers in each owns bed of course. Well dad had the remote and would turn off the tv.
Well were all laying there and he would turn that tv off and chris would get up and turn it back on. We would sit there a bit and dad would turn it backoff then same thing would happen chris would get up and turn it on. Chris was getting so mad at the tv funny chit. Well dad says hell with its time for bed anyways so chris excepts that. So it gets real quit and all of a sudden you hear that noise of the tv and dad
had turned its oldarseon. Chris lets out this you M.F. and we were in tears laughing so damn hard. I have many more but man this is hard with him being gone.

I do wish I would of put dubyya little ass tent inside the bigger tent while he was gone at the get together.:D:D:D

This one goes back about 20 years or so when my dad and uncles were alot crazier than they are today. Deer camp back then was about partying mostly, and occasionally somebody would go hunting. We used to camp out of this 1967 International Bus that was converted to a hunting bus, with 4 beds, a cardtable, etc.

My dad's uncle Stubby has a really bad snoring problem. For 20 years, everyone at deer camp had to suffer through Stubby's snoring all night long.

Then one year, Stubby (who was about 55 years old at the time) shows up at deer camp with this brand new shiny CPAP machine that's supposed to cure his snoringand sleep apnea. The first day, Stubbywas drinking Crown Royale all day, and he got "tired". He put on his mask and passed out in the back of the bus. We were all waiting around to see if this machine would actually cure Stubby's snoring.

Then my dad's hippy bowhunter friend stopped by the Bus and decided to roll a joint - you know, for old times sake. Me and my dad are playing cards and drinking Coke and Budweiser respectivelywhile this guy re-lives Woodstock. All the while, Uncle Stubby ispassed out with his CPAP oxygen mask over his face - snoring like crazy! I mean the windows were rattling in that bus....

Hippie Guy goes "Does he always snore like that?" My dad said "Yep, I've been putting up with it for 20 years!".

Hippie Guy says "I know how to make him stop."

Next thing you know, Hippie guy is toking awayand blowing the smoke directly into into Stubby's C-Pap mask. We're all in tears laughing as Uncle Stubby starts moaning and groaning in his sleep. And about a minute later, the snoring magically stopped for the rest of the night. First night in 20 years of deer camp this guys has not snored!

The next morning, UncleStub woke up refreshed saying how great he slept because of that machine! Everyone laughed pretty hard but he never knew why.... :D

My brother fell asleep in a ground blind once so I stalked up real quiet and took his rifle. LOL. You should have seen the look on his face when I "came up" the trail to come get him. LOL. I wish he was still with us....good times.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

OK, I have two.

1) Monday is the first day in PA...its Monday night after the 1st day and Monday Night Football comes on. My buddy, who has hunted all day makes it to the beginning of the second quarter. Being a Dolphin fan, and they were playing, I had to watch it all. Here along the shores of Lake Erie, the snow machine was kickin' in with about 6 inches on the ground at the end of game, which was around midnight. As I looked out the door, the snow was still falling and off went the light bulb. Now, you have to know this person, his biggest fear...waking up and the not being in his stand before daylight. So if that gives you any insight, I moved all the clocks to about 5:30am, which was about 15 minutes AFTERhe wanted to get up. Keep in mind it is shortly after midnight. So I jump up, run around not being able to find my gear arfter 10 minutes and he is ready to go...so with the snow coming down I give the "Go ahead without me, I don't want to hold you up !".....out the front door he goes, rifle in hand racing to the stand...as he turns the driveway I yell out...."Its only midnight, you may want to get some sleep !"

2) Went hunting witha guy and we hung this stand on his property like a few days before we hunted. Me not be real familiar with the property, this was easy to pull off...for the most part. So we seperate, him going his way and me heading back to my stand. I climb in, pull up my bow, and hear a faint noise. I look down in the creek and here is this buck. I give a soft grunt and he walks 10 yard broadside, zip, and the arrow goes right thru the chest cavity. Now, this all took no more than 4 minutes. The buck goes off and crashes within 70 yards. I head back to where we seperated and searched for my friend in his stand. I find him and he is sitting there with this "What the heck are you doing" look. I told him I couldn't find my stand and if he would walk me too it...I couldn't believe he was throwing things at me. He climbs down and when we start walking, I told him what had just happened.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

I've never pulled it off.. but someday Justin is gonna feel this one or maybe peakrut.

I'm gonna plant a rake smack down on the trail he walks into his stand the night before.. then in the morning as he walks into his set.... BAMO... right in the kisser!

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

I've always thought it would be funny to put a decoy of a huge buck about 25 yards from a buddies stand in the middle of the night right before opening morning.

Then, as the night slowly turns to daybreak on opening morning, see how pumped up he gets when he THINKS he has a booner at 25 yards! I think that would be hillarious. :D

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

Hmmm, I have used many in my day.

I have waited for people that I knew would be hunting and walking after me and would hit a grunt call or snort wheeze as they walk in and scared the heck out of them.

Taken bow ropes off of trees knowing they would be relying on it being there, or tied the bow rope on a limb part way up the tree.

Used the ghetto puppet can one time to make another hunter think there was a hot doe in the area. I was in a tree about 60 yards from where another hunter has permission. I could barely see him and he had his back to me so I hit the can call a few times and then waited thirty seconds and hit a grunt call. I watched him pick his bow and go into stealth mode ready to fire. I did this every ten minutes or so for close to an hour until he got out of his tree and started looking where the other guy was;)

Put Fox Urine on my dads boot bottoms as well as ex father in law. One didn't have any issues but the other had a fox dancing under his tree marking the area and driving him nuts.

My favorite by far when sharing property is to make fake scrapes and rubs on spots that I know the bucks aren't traveling often, leave my scent;) and brag about the huge buck I saw just outta bow range from the stand near the faux sign. It might be dirty and DT like but you should always scout your property, not show up opening week asking where they are at.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

We once told our nephew to put some doe in heaturine on a scent drag and walk back to his stand. It was still dark out so we told him if he didnt make it back to his stand and heard a buck he better get the heck outta there because the buck was wanting to mount something and the buck wouldnt be able to tell what he was mounting because it was dark out there. So he started back to his stand and we waited till he got about 40 yards from use and followed him a little while then hit the old grunt tube. Scared the crap right outts him.

RE: Hunting pranks...
 

About the worst that we have ever done is waiting on guys when they are walking out and then jumping out and scaring them while they are walking out. Nothing worse than taking a leisurely stroll out of the woods after dark only to have someone jump out and holler and growl etc. That will just down right rattle a fellow when he's not expecting it.I almost hit one of my friends one time when he jumped out at me. He jupmed and I swung my bow like it was a baseball bat, out of instinct, and barely missed him. I think it scared him as bad as it did me.[:-]He was all mad because I almost hit him. I was like, what can I tell you I got quick reflexes;)
