Camp Pranks

[Waygoner]

With all of the negativity around here lately I thought it would be good to lighten things up a little. For me one of the best things about hunting is having a good time with friends/family. This includes pulling a few pranks while in camp. Let's hear some funny stories, here's one of mine.

Having been in the restaurant business, I've taken on the role of camp cook. We've had some tasty meals, including some curry stir fry one year. I pulled out a box of fortune cookies at the end of the meal and let my compadres dig in. This was no ordinary box of cookies though. I carefully pulled out the original fortunes and replaced them with some quotes from a mythical hunting guide we call Randy Galloway. I had the guys in tears they were laughing so hard.

Randy Galloway says:
Does this fanny pack make my butt look big?
Elk urine makes a fine hair tonic.
Dingle berry pie, it's what's for dinner.
...and a bunch of others I can't remember.

This fall when the guys will roll into camp they will be greeted by an elk decoy with lipstick, fish net stockings and some nice costume jewelry.

Does your wife know about this other lady?

That sounds hilarious. I usually end up hunting by myself, so its hard to play jokes.

I hope you have a great season and your cow can reel in a big boy for ya!

In our camp last year a guy put a porn mag and a certain part of his cow elk in the sleeping bag of his buddy.

I put a bottle of beer in the fire and pretended to drop a bullet in there, when the bottle cooked off everyone about chit.

wasnt a prank but it was funny as hell. 3 or 4 years ago at deer camp, some one in camp had killed a buck so we were "celebrating" a certain someone(my dad) was the cook that night. we were cookin with the dutch oven and had come coals off to the side of the fire. my dad got down on his knees and moved the oven, he proceded to dish up a plate and then fell on the coals. he sat there for a second eating his plate, i then realized that he was laying on the coals lol when he got up, he had about a 8 inch circle of his favorite camo shirt burned out, all of us about collapsed we were lauhing so ahrd

A couple years ago we pulled a pretty good one on a buddy that was coming into camp a couple days late. I was able to take a bear on the first day of our hunt. It was warm out so we skinned him and stuck him in the cooler. When my buddy got there we pointed out where the beer cooler was and when he opened it all he$% broke loose. It was the funniest thing to see a 260 lb strong man screaming like a girl. Can you imagine expecting to grab a cold one and see this bear sticking his tounge at you.

Lets see, the funniest I have actually been the victim of. When I was a youngin my father and uncle sent us kids out into the dried up creek bed to do some Snipe hunting. So there we are, 3 kids in a creek bed with a paper bag and sticks running around a creek bed saying "here snipe snipe snipe...." Well after about 5 minutes of this I hear a rumbling around in the bushes....about scared the crap out of me... cause it sounded to be too big to fit into my paper bag.... so I go running back to camp saying that there is a big Snipe in the bushes.... so "concerned" parents now... promptly get up, grab flashlight and gun... "hhhmmm they grabbed a gun, yet they sent us snipe hunting with a paper bag and stick... hhhmmm " well upon further investigation by the parents we realized that what scared the crap out of us was actually a Javelina.... after that we then got the truth about snipes.....

2 pranks I've heard about, but haven't actually done...

Hide a brick in someones backpack before a long hike in.

Or, put some Milk Duds in your pocket and let them get a little scuffed up and dirty. When you come across some elk droppings, have the Milk Duds in your hand and act like you pick up some droppings and then eat it and say, 'The elk have been feeding over there'

Went out for a night in town,when I arrived back at camp and found everyone sleeping I changed all the clocks to read 5AM,then told everyone to wake up they over slept.There was much swearing and yelling about who forgot to set the alarm,afterthey were dressed and getting ready to leave camp I told them the real time 2AM.Also when a new guy would fall asleep we would draw a beard and moustach on him with pemanent marker,then he hunted the whole day like that and never knew.Some of the old timers tied a guy to his bed and lit some papers on fire around his bed and bed.started yelling FIRE and watched as he tried to get out of bed.Another thing they would do was when a new comer was at camp,at night open the door and look outside and start to yell "hey you get the hell away from that truck"the newbies would always run out in their socks to try to catch the vandel.We even hide some ones pick up and pretended it was stolen,we clued him in as he was swearing calling the police.Also the new guys would get Kp duty and as they where washing and drying the dishes someone would take them of the table and put them in the dirty pile,then they would comment "gee this seems like alot of dishes"Then there was the pie for dessert with shaving cream instead of whipped cream.To many more stories to list,these are just a few
