Forms of the truth and excuses

Post by onuhunter02 » Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:01 am

What are some forms of the truth and excuses you all have used or heard? For example

Form of the truth:
I shot my limit (With that being said there is still plenty of feathered friends flying around with shot in their feathers).
Excuse:
The wind was blowing too hard.
The wind wasn't blowing enough.
It's too hot.
The phase of the moon is killing me.

I know these can be legit but they are also ways for us to explain why we came home empty handed or without our limit.

Gee, I never try for a limit. I am happy if I get the dogs on a few birds but shooting a limit is something I seldom ever try for. I want some for tomorrow.

Can't think of anything else.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

My excuse is that I can't shoot worth a "bleep" and I can't be bothered to learn lol. Or I just blame it on the dogs haha.

Excuse for a miss?....I ate too much red cabbage at the restaurant last night.

Nothing wrong with a limit or try for a limit if the resource can absorb the hunter additivity.

I was just out to educate the birds to stay away from those mean old hunters and their dogs so I just intentionally missed.
