How to tell Buck from Doe just by eating their dropings
« on: November 08, 2010, 10:54:45 AM »
    NO!!! I'm not a lunatick! Nor would I ever do such a thing BUT my friends don't know that. ???

  Just find a good deer trail and drop a few rasinetts on the ground. Call your friends over and ask them if the tracks are a buck or a doe. Point out the fake dropings,skoop up the fake poop, smell it and proclaim," Yep, that smell like a buck"! then pop it into your mouth.

   I have had guys that have been hunting for 40 years fall for that hook, line and sinker.

   A little lemonade mix in the snow works well to! ;D

   Have fun and good hunting!

Another fun trick is to go out in the woods and replace little piles of raisinettes with deer droppings.
The difference between people who do stuff and people who don't do stuff is that the people who do stuff do stuff.

Heh. As a kid I convinced my city slicker cousin that rabbit berries were really berries. He believed me, til he popped a few in his mouth. I felt terrible, yeah right. POWDERMAN.  :D :D

Then there is the trick on discerning black bear poo from Griz.  Griz poo is full of little bells and smells like pepper. ::)

When my dad was a kid, he convinced his cousin that "rabbit pills" were really "smart pills". Gullible Joe put one in his mouth and bit down. He spit it out, and said: that thing taste like "s#*t!". Dad said: See? Your already gettin smart.

In 1968 I started working on the White Alice system up in Alaska.  The first site we new-hires were sent to was Bear Creek up near the village of Tanana.  There was a bowl of chocolate eggs on the table in the dining room when we walked in.  I don't know of any of our group who tried them, but they were chocolate covered moose nuggets the cook had made, special for the cheechakos....

I used to do the same thing when guiding goat hunters.  Don't forget to half chew it and let it dribble down your chin.
If I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.

Didn't Robert Ruark write of this in his book "The Old man and the Boy''? Seems I remember reading it there back in the early sixties. Actually I believe the book was a collection of articles written for Field and Stream over the years, but I could be wrong on both counts.

Pat McManus has a story in one of his books of pulling this trick on his brother.  I have successfully done it, as well.  Raisinettes work like a charm!

About time to read Old Man and the Boy again.  It and Where the Red Fern Grows need to be read every 2-3 years.  I don't remember the rainsinette tail in the book but I'll watch for it upon rereading this winter.

I've had 'the old man and the boy'  and  'the old mans boy grows older'  since 1976.  I've read them both countless times.
