He should be charging us more for the lease. - These birds are too close, this is no challenge. - I should have gotten the one-hundred horsepower. This one-fifty is too loud. - Oh I just couldn’t, he was just an eight-point.

I’m not sure about this corn thing…makes things too easy. - No camp house? No problem. I feel cozier in a tent. - Cleaning the boat relaxes me. - We’re considering a new lease in Oklahoma.

Yes, but just think how big that twelve-point will be next year. - My kids don’t like to hunt or fish…but it really doesn’t bother me. - I’ll get the gate, I can use the exercise. - I’m just shooting does this year.

No, the scope’s fine. I just made a bad shot. - I’m vegetarian. - Let’s go back in; we’ve caught too many fish already. - Hey I didn’t get catch PETA’s number…did you? - I like the one with the smaller rack; it just looks cute.

The bass I lost? No, really, it wasn’t that big. - I’m running out of space…I need to get rid of some guns. - That high fence just looks out of place. - It’s my wife’s dog. I’m a cat man myself. - Can I gut your hog? I need the practice.

I can’t remember eating better Javelina. - Can you believe I got two seasons out of that feeder battery? - He was the runt of the litter…that’s why I picked him. - Whatever you do, pick a color that doesn’t clash with your boat.

My next one will be two-wheel drive; I need the gas mileage. - My wife wants to buy me a gun for Christmas. - I’ve got too much tackle already. - I prefer a small truck…so easy to park. - I’m just a meat hunter.

Wow, that carp was a fighter! - You’ve had a tough day, let me clean your fish. - Don’t think I’ll mount the twelve-point; it’s not much bigger than the ten I’ve got at home. - Don’t worry about me – I’d rather you guys got something.

Not enough turtles on this lake; they’re cute little guys. - Sure! Bring a few guests. We’ve got lots of nice bucks on the lease. - I love the food in this camp, but all these steaks can’t be healthy.

My taxidermist is running one hell of a sale next week. - I’ve got a venison quiche recipe that’s to die for. - I may give up fishing; I need more leisure time. - Hunting season could be shorter. I need more free weekends.

Thank God I packed an extra set of rain gear. – What was I thinking? I paid too much for this gun. – I’ve read the manual. - Fishing? Sorry, my freezer’s full… I’m going to pass.

I’m just a bit moody today; I may go back to camp and lie down.

I don’t care if I see a thing, just getting out suits me fine. - Those jet-skiers don’t bother me…its good to see them out having fun. - Hunting season comes too soon if you ask me.

Think I’ll skip the hunting show this time; it’s the same every year.

Let’s fry the catfish and save the bass for sushi. - A snake got in the boat once. I wasn’t scared a bit. - The Outdoor Channel? What’s that? - My wife suggested a fishing trip for our twenty-fifth anniversary.
