The Day Larry Hit Me With A Chair
One of the great things about going to hunting shows like the Dixie Deer Classic is the opportunity to meet and interact with famous hunting personalities and this passed show was no exception.
Larry Weishuhn is an icon in the hunting world taking many species with a handgun. I enjoy hearing him talk because he tells a lot of stories making his lectures take on the feel of a hunting camp.
Larry shared a number of stories about how the whitetail deer adapts to man and the environment around him. He told about how at one ranch they hunt that the big buck was hanging out in the ranch hand’s backyard while the hunters were hunting the far end of the property. One of the other things Larry talked about was how he liked to hunt property where bow hunters hunt regularly because the deer get use to looking up for danger from the trees and Larry hunts almost exclusively from the ground. At this point in his lecture Larry gave us his best impression of a trophy buck walking around looking up when he walked into the front row of chairs sending one of them sliding back into me. Good thing I wasn’t sleeping.
I stopped by Larry’s booth after his talk and we had a good laugh about the chair incident. I told him I thought he must be some relation to Bobby Knight. I had to share the photo he signed for me thanking me for not throwing it back at him.
Larry told me that his next hunt is coming up quick as he is heading for New Zealand to hunt the Roar of the Red Stag. I wish him all the best and hope he has a good time.
