"Hunting truck"
.....I believe this is the vehicle that overheats and leaves you on the side of the road while other people hunt in their "trucks".

You don't run perfectly good old equipment. You run the new expensive stuff off the shelf, then swap it for next year's toys and run that, and keep repeating. Term infers new, hot, trendy, cool. I'm pretty sure the only thing I run is the dishwasher

I run... my mouth

Any time somebody talks about hunting and putting/laying the smack down on anything you should be annoyed as hell.

"Headin back to the rig." You mean your F-150?

 

[NEWHunter]

I’m annoyed by “point creep,” “max points,” and “long draw odds”

I think together they mean something to the effect that there are a whole lot of hunts I won’t be able to do before I die

Better start pounding the hills and get your hit list together boys.

I use rig, my dad always did and still does, don't know if it was because he was a trucker.

Just added Terminator, The Big Five, and Ol' Willie to the hit list after checking my cams.

Does it get any odder than calling an 8 pointer a 4x4? I shoot 8 pointers and drive a 4x4 . . . and stirring the pot - what does that even mean?

People who are “Influencers” as well. My wife’s company just hired Instagram influencers to promote their products. I guess Big Finn might be an influencer and then, oh crap, what does that make me since I use Leupold everything, onX, goHunt, Gerber, and mystery ranch? Under the influence? Now I can’t drive.
Modern day problems.

For the record, I’ve used Leupold and Gerber since the early 90’s.

"Influencers" and "life coaches". Have you ever noticed that the individuals who go by those titles have actually accomplished little that is genuine with their lives?

I run... my mouth

I run amuck...

 

[elkduds]

I run EE.

 

[EYJONAS!]

That's pretty "choice"

I moved out west 7 years ago and I will refer to a mule deer as 4x4 or a whatever x whatever. But I refuse to refer to a whitetail that way. They have tried to change me, but I'm standing firm on this one. It will be on my grave stone...lol

Running afoul can make someone's blood run cold & then you have to make a run for it, but if you run a tight ship you won't be running around like a chicken with your head cut off. In the long run, just don't run out of gas before you run yourself ragged and run aground!

And then there is “kit,” as in “those boots are a nice piece of kit.”

A lot of this came from the military and the last 20 years of wars overseas. All of your issue was called your kit.

"Operator culture" or as the kids call it - tacti-cool.
