hang the balls in a tree. ...... thats respect

A party I used to hunt with makes a little cross at the kill sight, by poking a small limb in the ground, and then using the dick and balls to lash another small limb (the cross member) in place. Kinda humourous when you see one of their gutpiles...

We used to have a cross hanging on the side of the logging road at our camp in Grays Harbor that we would hang all our animals nuts on.  Back in the 80's there were pictures of it in the paper and they were saying it was cult activity.  We got a good laugh out of that. :chuckle:

We generally dry out the testicles then glue little eyes to them kinda like a weeble. Grandma takes them to bingo for good luck. We always save the srote for my aunt. She loves stitching little coin purses out of them and sells them at the farmers market. The night of the kill, we pass around a bottle of Black Velvet until its gone.  The first person to pass on taking a swig has to eat a raw eyeball. Its also custom, the first person to pass out finds a windpipe in their sleeping bag in the morning. Just little things like that, I guess you can call it more of a tradition than a ritual. By the way, everything I just stated is complete BS.

Thank the Good Lord.  Then normally call my brother, and cuss him out for leaving the mountain early again.

I usually perform a yearly ceremony where I pull out my tag, and try to cut out the tiny little notches.  It is at this time that I realize that I've once again grabbed the wrong knife and the one I have can barely cut paper. I proceed to the point of remembering that the tags not longer come with a string.  I remember years ago they did and give my self a bad time for not remembering one.  Finally I get down to gutting the deer.  I really don't do much in the field except remove the guts, and the gut going through the pelvis to get rid of contaminates.  Sometimes I'll go for the lungs if it is real hot.  Hopefully by that time my partners are there to help haul it out.  Thought about throwing the pos knife as far as i can but will probably need it next year.  Gotta get with rainshadow. :whoo:
I've slowed down enough in my old age to finally let the game catch up to me

I cry because I just hurt "bambi" Then my dad or grandfather beats me til I stop crying. Then they always dress me up in stupid old fashioned hunting costumes and make me take really embarassing pictures with the deer while they drink TONS of whiskey and laugh.

I suddenly develop a blown out knee or injured back until my hunting partner gets all the meat to the truck.

P.S. - looking for fit, strong hunting partners.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thank God for the animal in prayer and then let all the blood out onto the ground as commanded in the Bible.

I always thank the animal and say how grateful I am to be doing this.... and I think of my dad who pointed me down this trail so many years ago.
Can't we all just get along?

Can you give the quote from the bible that says to do this?
