All areas have their colloquialisms, Daryl, around heah' as well. Peanuts are goober peas, or goobers, or ground nuts. Pecans are pee' kans around here, but puh khans' up the road aways. Bobwhite quail are buhds (birds) or pottidges. Gophers aren't mammals at all, but a great big ol' tortoise that gets up over 30# and lives to be 100 yrs.old, that burrows in the ground and shares his hole with rattlers. Cartridges are cottidges. Wild muscadines are bullets. Cottontail rabbits are brier hogs, and every snake that hangs around water is a moccasin. I could go on and on, but this is a thread about game pictures.
