First time hunting was a humiliating experience.

As someone who really hopes to hunt one day (hopefully sooner than later!), I opened this thread thinking I would find an amusing story that would ease my fear of being “humiliated” on my first hunt - instead, I find a horribly written piece of obvious fiction - I mean, if you’re going to tell a wild tale here, at least do us the honors of making it FUNNY!:lol:

:lol:

Oh, no. Straws? When one has a hand-blown glass flask? Aunt Esther would be appalled!

I think I’m pushing it by having my cap attached to the flask by a lovely piece of metal. Keeps everything intact when your horse is paying more attention to the strike hound at a check than you are…:eek: “And they’re off!”

I can’t understand why you guys are giving this poster the pleasure of your posts - as usual it is a first time poster with a tall tale. You are playing into their game. I wasn’t going to post, I really wasn’t but after scrolling through a few too many, couldn’t resist.
It is BS.

I doubt they are giving the OP any pleasure, but I’ve gone through 2 packages of Depends reading this thread I’m laughing so hard.

I dunno about hunting with you guys, but I’d go drinking with you any day!

Kick on indeed!!! Most fun I’ve had on COTH in a coon’s age…

I have never heard of anything so absurd in my life…OK…I just read some of the other posts…talk about wasting peoples time!! :slight_smile:

I think we culled the OP long ago. I suppose we might be guilty of babbling a bit, but there’s no harm in a bit of fun, is there?

:eek::eek::eek: Well you fell for it !!! :lol::lol::lol:

The Run on this topic has been priceless!

I don’t remember reading a thread on the Hunting Forum that has been as much fun &
informative as this one!
The Videos, esp. the Bray Harriers, are terrific! It’s been great to see fellow foxhunters
following the line, joining in, getting the babblers & skirters back on track, and speaking
true! I hope this goes 'til dark, then gets started again at the next fixture, continuing
as long as there are personalities!

Bigger Please

I need a bigger hat. Don’t drink beer, but do drink Maker’s Mark and that beer can hold just won’t do at all. Or a hat that would hold a fifth of Maker’s on one side and a fifth of Basil Hayden on the other. That is a good hunting hat.

Besides my horse wouldn’t be caught dead in a sombero, he requires elegance in his head gear.

Then sugar, that is the WRONG horse for this hunt! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shoot - I scrolled right past the fun part where the thread veered a bit - was left behind after the first page or two. Shows what COTHers can make of even the most idiotic of trolls.

But Pony!!

He is the best hunter around. He is a lovely chestnut, 17HH delicate flower every place except the hunt field then watch out. I pander his ego because he is so wonderful. He wouldn’t flinch at anything I want to do, but stands on his dignity about his most majestic person.

So, the OP doesn’t need me to stand next to him/her? Bummer. Cause I was hopin’ for the pity-invite to hunt along.

Altho, if any of the rest of you need someone to make you look better, I’m your gal!

I appreciate your taste in Bourbon :cool:

Thanksto all!!

I want to thank you all for the most delightful thread I have read in ages. I would love to hilltop some day and enjoy a gallop across country too.

This is the funniest thread since

the one I started about Stefan Peters. I have haven’t laughed this much for a long time.
A good thing for the beginning of the year! Bullshit mush have a certain cyber smell because this is the first time I’ve visited the Hunting thread ever. Maybe it has something to do with drinking white wine tonite? I usually drink red, but a friend left a bottle. Anyway, thank you, tallboots, for such a hoot of a Friday eve. I’m gonna go have another glass, watch that youtube.

Wow, they are beautiful. We’ll see you at tomorrow’s meet!

Oh, wait, sorry to butt into your thread from Hunterland. We could smell the troll from our board. :lol:

I’m signing up for that hunt even if I have to buy 200 acres of land. I think we scared old tall boots away, it hasn’t posted other than the first two posts. Sometimes “greenie” can be translated into troll. Such a silly scenario though.
