Let's share some of our favorite fishing, hunting or outdoor quotes.

[Mayfly]

Knowing when to come back is just as important as knowing when to leave. Getting back from a hunting or fishing trip on time is the biggest mistake a man can make. He should always stay late enough for his wife to worry about him, past the "Where-in-the-hell-have-you-been?" stage and well into the "Thank-God-you're-back" stage.  ---Havilah Babock (1964)

[Lee Borgersen]

I love that one Fly, because it's true.

[jigglestick]

only way to know that to be true, is to have experienced it and yes, I  too can vouch for it


here's another dead on true quote...

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than have a frontal labotomy" :o

[Lee Borgersen]

"There is certainly something in fishing that tends to produce a gentleness of Spirit, a pure serenity of mind." - Washington Irving

[DaveO]

Ive been thinking of one for days now and the only one that has come to mind is..

SHUT UP AND SHOOT.

Something that gets said allot trap shooting

[shakey legs 2]

Wind from the west the fish bite best
Wind from the east the fish bite least
wind from the south blows the hook into the fish's mouth
Wind from the north, don't venture forth

and for the hunters:

"If it flys it dies"

[JohnWester]

"if it's brown it's down."

and one from the old duck hunting days...

"Mark the Moon."

[Lee Borgersen]

"Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught."

[Lee Borgersen]

" Fishing and hunting friends are like butt cheeks.
Crap might separate them,
But they always come back together."
 

[bambambiggero]

Comeon  Big One!

[Bufflehead]

 There's alot of difference between eaten duck and watching it fly away

 That guns too "G" dam big Oh ya!

 I never seen a deer too dead
--------------
 Where did you catch them fish?

 Right in the lip

[Fishahollik]

Thats why they call it fishing and not catching....

[Lee Borgersen]

"There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse.? Either is a gain over just staying home."

[WoodChuck]

 :) DEFINITION = FISHING- a jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end of the line!

[Lee Borgersen]

"Catch and release  ? They will grow on you"  ???

[Lee Borgersen]

"For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught, not even how he has caught them, but what he has caught when he has caught no fish."

[Big Slick]

A worthy one from the magazine ad.

"Luck is just an excuse for bad fishing".

[fishercz20]

A Jerk at one end of the Line,
Waiting for a Jerk at the Other!

[Lee Borgersen]

Fisherman's wife: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and you get rid of him for the whole weekend" ::

[iceman]

On a quite night up north
 you can hear the deer laughing
in the back ground

[UncleDave]

"If it was easy, they would call it catching".

[Lee Borgersen]

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it.  ::

[jonmzak]

From my father-in-law:  "If you can't shoot straight, shoot often"

[Desperado]

My wife's been icefishing enough to know that the length of the rod don't matter; it just needs a stiff shaft and a soft sensitive tip.

[Crazy4Outdoors]

My Dad had a little plaque with this printed on it:
Early to Bed; Early to Rise
Fish like Hell; and Make up Lies

[captkev]

 A very wise man once told me when I was having a bit of trouble training a dog...

"Never issue a command you can't enforce" " Your not asking the dog to whoa your demanding it"

[Lee Borgersen]

"Fishing does not build character. It reveals it."

[Lee Borgersen]

One fish. Two fish. Red fish. Blue fish. Black fish. Blue fish. Old fish. New fish. This one has a little star. This one has a little car. Say! What a lot of fish there are. Yes. Some are red and some are blue. Some are old and some are new. Some are sad. And some are glad. And some are very very bad. Why are they sad and glad and bad? I do not know. Go ask your Dad
