My brother is a life long deer hunter with a bow and arrow. Now that is a grizzled old man he has had more than a few younger guys ask him to show him how he hunts. One thing he has done several times is to get some chocolate covered raisins, and keep them in a pocket in his coat.

They start walking to a good place to camp, or a good place to set up a tree stand. Often they find deer poop, or droppings. They look a little bit like a chocolate covered raisins and with the right slight of hand its close enough. He will of course get a couple of the chocolate covered raisins in his hand, pretend to pick up some of the deer droppings and pop one in his mouth and chew on it. He will think and then ask one of the other old greys what they think about it, and drop on of the raisins in his buddy's hand. Clearly he pops it in his mouth and chews. Then proclaims I think it is a buck, about 6 points and headed east. My brother will reply no, I think it is a 8 point buck headed northeast.

Then they point at the dropping on the ground and ask the new guy what he thinks. Most of the time they just stand there with their mouths open and say no way man, I ain't doing that. They get back home and the new guy is telling everyone "Those guys eat deer poop and know how big the deer is!" and almost everyone just nods and says that is the best way to learn.
