I killed a doe monday and was tellin this guy about it then he said he shot a ten pointer when I told I was gonna come over and see it he said he couldnt find it then I said when you do let me know and Ill comeover then and he still aint found it. I hate people like that you kill a squirrel they kill a bear. you kill a moose they kill a elephant.
Heard a great one from a dad at football practice the other day... First the guy tells me he was on a bow hunt in UTAH for mule deer. Here are some of his best quotes..... " Yeah I have been hunting these same 8 bucks for 5 years" " a couple of them are over 40 inches wide " I had them all walk by me at 70 yards, but didnt take the shot" Then later in the conversation he says. " I am very comfortable and dead on out to 100 yards" I just smile & nod my head.
This is a pet peeve of mine, but when I say it I kind of feel snobbish? But it annoys me when people give no size or age reference to their bucks. I'll run into someone and they'll say, "Hey Cody I shot a nice buck!" and I'll be like "Cool, how big?" "Oh, you know he was a big ole 10 pointer!!" Sometimes they even go into specific detail and say, "Big ole 10 point buck, 18 inch spread!" In fact, I had a buddy from school tell me shot a big 10 pointer over Thanksgiving break and I asked him what it scored and he replied, "10." To me, that tells me absolutely nothing about the size of that buck. I remember talking with Ryan on the phone after he shot his 164 and he gave me green estimates of the bucks brows, 2s, 3s, spread, main beam, etc. It was refreshing. But I know a lot of people aren't familiar with the scoring system or how to age a buck, which is totally fine. It's just a pet peeve of mine.
Lol Troy!! Some people I tell ya!! Here's one that gets me!! By no means am I picking on gun hunters but I hear this every fricking year. "I saw a huge buck, he had to be at least a 16 pointer!!" I then say you must've been close enough to count all of the points then? Then their reply Is no but It had to have at least 16 points If he's that big. It's never an 8 or a 10 point. It's always 12 points and up.
Just leaving Applebee's where a manufacturer's rep I'm working with all day and I had lunch... The pic of me and my elk is my desktop background on my laptop, and the waitress came by and started oohing and awwing... then mentioned something about it being hard to catch. Told her "Nope, he laid right there and let me walk right up to him after I shot him; he wasn't hard to catch at all." Here's your sign.
I'm with Buckeye on this one, the thing that far bothers me the most are the slobs in the box stores the night before. There, I said it. Call me what you will but that's what they are. There might be 1 in 100 that had a bow failure at the last minute and has a 20 yard range in the basement and is gonna get set up and be good to go in the morning, but that's being generous.
I used to let a lot of things get me worked up come hunting season. I worried about everything except myself. These days, I let the chaos erupt around me while I focus on what I need to accomplish. I could care less what other people are doing every day.
-Coworkers joking that i must be hunting a preserve after they ask me what I'm seeing. when in actuality, i scout more than they hunt and i hunt public land. -People saying they found good blood, when its not good blood. Its more than a few drops so its good to them. (they have no idea what lung and heart blood looks like) -people not seeing where they hit the deer and not being able to find theirarrow but they immediately start trailing the deer. - everybody talking about rage broadheads
Yet it is fine to call a buck a ... toad... hog/hawg...pig... stud... monster... slob ?? Nanny that !! :D
I get annoyed with the " is this a shooter"? or "should I take this buck"? or things of that nature. Why does anyone need people on an internet forum to tell them what to shoot?
Oh .. and I literally spit my coffee out on that one. I actually had a buddy of mine a couple years ago that was dead serious about that. The clock change was really confusing him LMFAO
Or I made a bad shot but I know this deer will live, because he is a super deer with a 1 1/8 hole running thru his body and it has no affect.
"Did you catch anything?" Gets me more than anything! Its like their afraid to say kill! Or there just so ignorant that they have no idea what we really do. Haha!
A guy I know shot a deer and when he was tracking it he jumped him. well he didnt give the deer maybe 45 minutes before he started trackin again and like you guessed he jumped him again never found him. I tried to tell him wait until morning but no he didnt listen the fool deserves to loose it if hes that dumb.
