each deer camp has it's own traditions , weather from superstition or just outta fun .
when we get a beginner at our camp , you gotta show him the roaps . that includes the droppings along the trail .
there has to be snow on the ground for this one .
a deers trail , one guy distracts the " student" the other dumps some raisenetts on the trail . as the student comes up to the spot you say " deer poop , now we can find out how long ago he came thru here . pick some up , pop them in your mouth , chew and swallow .( make facial expressions that your really studying the taste ) then say something like , twenty minutes ago , he's a ten pointer about 195 lbs. the newcomer will be amaised !
then tell the rookie to try some so he'll learn how to track them , if there anything like the guys we've had the'll decline the offer in a big way . you will become some sort of hunting expert to them , unquestionable when it comes to deer hunting .
if they do sample the stuff , it takes them a couple seconds to catch on to the taste , and the joke .
we are well versed in this deercamp prank .
what do you guys have or do to make your deercamp a special thing ?
