All I'm doing is hiding in bushes to look at tits, what's so wrong about that?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Personally, I prefer hiding behind dunes to look at boobies at the beach.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Hell yeah, and always make sure to snap a few pics for the collection

Wait until OP hears about hunting game calls. "SEX! Sex over here!"

Blasts animal with a 50 cal slug

Are people hunting with 50 cats?

[–] Scubus 7 points 9 months ago

I've never seen it, but I'm sure there are some furry armies out there.

[–] Assman 4 points 9 months ago

Yes, like a muzzle loaded rifle for deer hunting

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

(Erm....ACKUALLY)While you can hunt with a 50-caliber. It's usually only with a black powder rifle. Even then, I've seen most .50 black powder rifles use a 44 bullet with a sabbot or something similar.

That and hunting with larger calibers are usually illegal.

[–] Assman 9 points 9 months ago

Yeah, the guy in my made up scenario was hunting during muzzle loader season

Whatever you say, pervert.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I'm no pervert. Anyways I've got to go, I'm going to see if I can experience a Dickcissel, then I'm off to my mates to see his Himalayan snowcock....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Just because I like looking at breeding tits doesn't make me a pervert 😤

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I learned that from Bob's Burgers.

I used to care for a tree frog with a croak I could mimic. Anytime I was nearby I'd do it and set them off in response. My understanding (which is limited and like 12 years ago) was that I had a male frog who was trying to one up me in response so he would get all the mates

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

But you did get all the frog mates?

Come on, buddy, don't let us hanging.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Yes, I was drowning in frogussy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Same thing, but you say "Aha, I see you through my sights!" instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also then you murder the bird.

So more of a Saturday night than a Friday night, if we're sticking to the analogy...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

@ivanafterall @cm0002 @fossilesque yeah i was trying to figure out how to tell them they missed a step

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They're those freaky people that hang out in word of mouth clubs we don't like to talk about.

@fossilesque actually interesting af

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They're also very self conscious about it, so... Sexual competition among ducks wreaks havoc on penis size

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

@fossilesque this information was not included in saturday morning cartoons.

i wonder if there was something else going on between Daffy, Bugs, and Elmer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

A shit ton that grows all the time. I can't keep up with them and always finding new ones myself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Birding is Sadism, the bird doesn't have a choice in the matter
