re: A tribute to the great outdoors and generations past (Great pictures and videos)

No they are squeely horns. Pretty much a bugle made out of an old cow horn. It's what they used to communicate back then.

2 blows meant various things depending on who it was. Usually "I saw a buck" or "are we ready to get the frick out of here yet?"

3 blows meant dead deer

4 blows meant the hunt was over

I loved hearing those things echoing through the swamp in the morning. One of those beautiful sounds that you never forget.
