Odd Terminology

[Ben Sellers]

When did everyone start referring to what equipment the use as running it? Example, “I’ve been running a VX-6 3-18 with Talley rings on my 6.5 Creedmoor.” You’d think hunters all a bunch of Prefontaines the way that’s thrown around on YouTube, Podcast, and even here.

Are there any other odd word choices hunters use that should annoy me?

 

[ShortAction]

LOL. I've been wondering the same thing. I wear all my clothes, boots, and what not. What I don't wear I use. Just showing my age, I guess.

 

[Buffs35]

I don't run anything, as my beer gut will attest.

 

[Trial153]

It coming from being instafamous

 

[jt13]

Dont forget about "systems"!

Sleep system
Water filtration system
Stove system
Layering system
And so on.......

 

[Nutrioso]

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

 

[hank4elk]

Running trotlines begot runnin'...
The whole Kit & Kabootle begot kit...
I do not recognize systems.....is that a runway deal?
I love the oakie millenials & what comes out of their blow holes from under flatbills w/brews...lol

Admittedly old fashioned picky pet peeves about: "horns" on an elk or deer or a buck deer that's a "hog".

"That buck was a TOAD" is another I have heard a few times. As well as giving each scouted buck a particular name.

"Trendy" words really irritate me for reasons I don't even understand. None more than hearing EPIC all the time.

I have issues.

Anytime I get setup in my stand with my crossbow and slowly open the window overlooking my food plot I whisper "BOOYAH" and then when I hit my target I yell "BOOYAH". Call me trendy but it works.

Here is mine - Shooter,it is on TV way too much for my liking. A really nice buck has always been good enough for me.

You guys need to get your head space right and start running the right kit so you can level up, grind hard and give some toads an epic dirtnap.

Prefontaines

With that bitchen reference I'm not surprised your'e struggling with modern lexicon.

I was under the impression 'running' came from the motor sports/biking world. I've been hearing people tell me about what tires they were running since high school.

Overload of broisms!!

I think alot of these buzz words were created by marketing teams when hunting shows really took off 20-25 years ago to attract viewers and were stuck with this epic slang terminology. Also different terminology for different parts of country and with inception of social media we hear these other terms more often. Kind of like "that's a great 8 point" in Pennsylvania and "that's a great 4 point" in idaho.

"I run" is the only one that really bothers me for some reason. The only thing a hunter runs are his/her dogs.

I hope I was nuanced enough and also disappointed that I didn’t make use of the word nuance.

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.

Super stoked!
