Patrick McManus, is that you? Sounds like one of his stories!
Does anyone remember the Outdoor Life column “Taps Tips?
I remember one that was so funny I couldn’t stop laughing. This guy shoots a deer and immediately remembers his friend telling him so save the tail for him to make bucktail streamers for fishing.
So the guy cuts off the deer’s tail. Next thing the deer got up and ran away. All he got was the tail.
