What's outdoor quirks y'all see around y'all that are kinda a regional thing or something y'all have seen much or as much outside of your area ? Seems about every county region town ect has some .Down here ( my area specifically) some ive noticed are

* never field dress deer

*Freezing fish whole, like don't gut then or anything was them off when you get one toss them in a bag and thaw them out and process them when your wanting to eat. At least with small fish like bream

* About any semi serious fisherman will be rocking red cigar floats on their rods. 

* taking neck shots whenever possible

* black and milds when fishing in the summer

* just about all deer and wild hog meat gets ground into sausage of some sort not a ton of butcher cuts or anything

* Getting permission usually requires you know someone the property owner knows

* Eveyone seems to know and use the same two or three knots fishing but know on knows the names

* people hate hogs ...but also like them to where if they know they have them in their property they will complain but not let you hunt them....it's weird...

* if there cows.....good luck.....just good luck

* just about eveyone calls a spinning reel a open face ..but will also call call a bait caster an open face ...an no one seems to know what a spin cast is

* people think your weird if you don't use a snap swivel ( only ever brass it seems) to your hook or you use a midline swivel.....wire leaders are more acceptable though for some reason



Anyhow that's some of mine what about yall

Language Alert

Not really quirky, but definitely regional: Every fall you can always find a longest tail feather contest somewhere.

Iffn I posted my quirks, I'd get a permanent vacation.
OK, one, on second though, will refrain.

Was a tradition to bite the head off the first smelt of the year when we used to net them.

Same in Mn

I'd have done it, but I never went dipping. I have eaten a bushel basket of them though. (Not in one sitting.)

same here

Been a good while since I've seen catfish heads and coyotes hanging on a fence post but maybe we'll see both when down in Texas this Spring.

They do that here WYTEX. Also spoonbill.

I get a kick out of the guys hunting coyotes with dogs. The trail hound and sight dog guys both call their coyote dogs wolf dogs.

Used to be in the little villages along the Missouri River guys would nail big catfish heads to trees in the front yard to show o.ff.Now.n
they're smart enough to release them to be caught again.
Here it's whitetail deer farmers complain about but won't give permission.
I won't use swivels or colored line with lures as fish can see something is wrong. Catfish in muddy water is fine.

Taking a bite out of the heart or liver of a deer or bear that was just field dressed.

Cutting the shirt tails off anyone that misses a deer at Deer Camp.

Hanging the testicles of a buck in the nearest tree while field dressing.
