Splendid - thanks very much! That's a real help! 

I'm afraid the article includes no picture, though I imagine it's probably of a fairly unusual size; he reckons it to be worthy of a gold medal somewhere.

As for there being no allusion to romance season, well, there goes my illusion of hunters being squeamish! :D 

Thanks again!

ok I'll try - my comments after the quotes

“We were headed to Kansas to go back to see if I couldn't fill my tag that I had with my bow

and I was gonna take my boy Mason.”

Tag = license. Filling the tag means killing the deer that you have a license to hunt.

“I had a chance to spend a few days around the old hacienda there in Booger Bottom to see if I couldn't fill some Georgia tags.”

 Some states allow more than one deer per license.  For instance in my home state of NY my regular hunting license allows me to hunt both a deer and bear - ie a deer tag and a bear tag.

“The county I hunt in Georgia, a buck has half 4 points on one side. I'm looking at this deer, he's got 4 points on both sides.”

 some hunting areas have antler restrictions.  you may only legally harvest deer if they have a minimum number of antler points - in this case 4 points on one antler.  He is either saying that this deer had a 2x2 rack or a 4x4 rack (2 points on each antler or 4 points on each antler).

What does “backstrap” mean? = the long muscle on either side of the backbone.  Its a choice cut of meat on any animal including venison or beef.

“I love backstrap. A successful hunt.”

 see above

“I parked the buggy right here.”

Is he referring to the vehicle used to drive on beaches?

 buggy = slang for any wheeled vehicle

What’s “bow tag”?

 a harvest permit that can only legally be filled by using archery equipment

“I'd actually beat Mason to Kansas by a few days. I had a bow tag in my pocket, I was hoping I could fill it.”

 He hopes to kill a deer that he has an archery permit for.

What’s “drop tine”?

 drop tine is an antler point that points down - they are unusual

“I just like killing drop tine because it makes it easier to take a picture with.”

And on the same topic…

What’s a spike?

 a spike refers to a deer with just one anler point on each side (no forks).

“I thought it was a spike with 5 drop tines and then I realized it was upside down.”

 this antler had 5 points up and one pointing down.

What are the numbers referring to?

“In November, had about a 160 right there. 'Bout a 155, 160 right there.”

 point scoring - often total inches of antler

What did he do? And what did the buck do?

 he is guessing how big the antlers are and saying it was right between 155 and 160

“I grunted him and he snort-wheezed and he run all the way in.”

 the hunter imitated a noise deer make - a grunt -and the buck made a noise back - it really means a snort and wheeze -then ran toward him.

What’s a “half rack deer”?

 antler on one side only

“Finally right at dark on the last day, this really nice half rack deer comes out there.”

 one big antler and nothing on the other side.

hope that helps!

I think I have solved a few of the questions in my previous post:

Backstrap = loin (right?)

Buggy does mean a vechicle, right?

"Bow tag" is some kind of permission to shoot a specific deer.

I think he's referring to scores when he says "155-160".

I have solved the "grunting" and "snorting"-question

And I now know what "drop tine" is but there's no word for this in Swedish

I have also figured out what a "half rack derr" is.

I now realise I have pretty much found the answers to all the questions

I do have two new ones, however:

1/ What does he mean by “bad boy”?

“So we're running late but I think we slipped in here in the Bad Boy.”

2/ He says: "Hunting is good. No matter if it's a Boone and Crockett animal or it's backstrap from a doe."

I know about Boone and Crockett, but what does he mean by "Boone and Crockett-animal"? What's so special about these?

Thanks in advance!
