Me and a friend were talking about our recent hunting trips, and he used the word "rags" during our conversation. I figured he was talking about "tags" for animals that are in season, but I'm not sure. I never got around to asking him what he meant, so I figured
I'd ask your guys! thanks in advance.

What were you hunting? He might have been refering to the Texas Rag decoy. Its a windsock/rag contraption made to look like the body of a goose, then a wooden dowel holds it to the ground, with a head placed on top of that. Cheap decoy, but fairly effective.

I agree with Gray Wonderer, I thknk he most likely was saying "regs" not rags. However, if you were talking about goose hunting, actual rags are used as decoys. They are spread around on the ground and a goose (not a particularly bright bird) thinks they are other geese. Some hunteres will also tie rags to sticks and let them blow in the wind sort of like flags. Apparently the geese think these are other geese moving around on the ground. So, rags? regs? Why don't you aks him what he meant?

Probably "rags" was referring to raghorn animals. A raghorn animal is a young, small and immature male with small forked horns. I have no idea why they are called that, but there is even a magazine out there named after them... I think. Anyway, that sounds most likely what he was talking about.
