re: Whats the best prank you have played on a buddy while hunting?

That's just dangerous.

Yeah man, super dangerous. I don't know how one of us didn't get killed. We are crazy like that.

Got a similar story. When I was growing up, Dad's older brother was always pickin at all of us nephews. The stuff he did to us is just too numerous to mention here, but we all loved him dearly because he always took us boys hunting and fishing. That's when he always pranked us. Well, back in those days, my uncle always kept a case of Remington Shur Shot #9's under his bed. He was a gunner on a DD in World War II and he could flat out knock down doves and quail. He was proud of his shooting eye, too and was not shy about bragging about it. Well, I got into his case of Shur Shots and reloaded about half of those old paper shelled Shur Shots with granny's rock salt. He never did know I did that, but he was madder than the dickens that his eyes had gone bad and he couldn't hardly hit a bird anymore. Years later I told one of my other uncles what I did and he laughed and laughed because he remembered how his brother complained and moaned and groaned why he couldn't hit a bird then, but he could still throw a shotgun hull in the air and hit it with a .22 before it hit the ground.

And the blank shells may not actually be number 1 on the list

Put a shoulder mount in heavy brush one evening. We had one high school friends coming and one in particular that doesn't get to deer hunt but maybe once a year with us. Next morning we puthim in that stand and waited till first light.
Still nothing. So we ccalled him and casually discussed all of the trails around his blind and where to keep an eye on.
Sure enough, 10 minutes later BANG! He calls to let us know he shot and claims in ran off! We were baffled until he screams "it's back!, what do I do?"
So we say "shoot his arse again". 3 of us were sitting around listening on speaker phone and basically choking on our food
When we arrived to get him 10 min later he was some sort of losses. We made him pose by the mount that had 1 graze mark on the lower neck.

Last weekend after my wife and I ate dinner with friends we stopped to get gas. I was dark out. Just after I started filling up I saw another friend pull up and stop on the over end of the parking lot. He had been fishing with his wife and kids and was pulling the boat. I ran up to the door without been seen. He had opened the driver's door but had not gotten out and was gathering McDonald's bags to throw away. I was crouched behind the driver's side rear door and poked my head up. His wife saw me, but I held my finder up to my lips and she stayed silent. When he got out I jumped up and out, but outside of punch range and yelled, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. He dropped his Mcdonads and wallet before he decided to flee or fight...
