Saw a good one last night. Hunter shoots buck. Buck runs off. Hunters brags up the broadhead big time to the point of being sickening. Best broadhead in the world. Short tracking jobs " EVERYTIME ". Yada...Yada... Yada. They look for the buck. Find him. Buck gets up and runs off. The look on the guy's face was priceless !!! Now the guy goes on a pity party of the roller coaster ride of hunting. The highs... the lows. He doesn't know what happened because he put a perfect shot on the buck. They back off and give the buck some time to die. They find the buck. The guy is still saying he put a great hit on the deer and can't for the life of him figure out what went wrong. They only show the exit wound which is 4 - 5 inches back from the front leg. He actually grabbed the leg and pushed it back to make the exit hole look closer to the leg. WTF !!! They didn't bother to show the entry side which would have explained a lot. I have a feeling that was on purpose with the great hit. Pet Peeve #1 If you are going to brag about broadheads, bow and your great shooting abilities... wait until you find the dead deer. You won't look the fool nor have to make up bad excuses or lies to save your ego while the camera is rolling. Pet Peeve #2 Show us the entry and the exit wound when things go wrong. Not just the one that looks the best !! Tim
Pet Peeves... Wife... #1. What do you want for supper ? I don't care as long as it is Food !!! I don't want to spend the next 5 minutes hearing... I don't want to make that, we don't have that, that will take too long and this is what I wanted to make. Just make it... I will eat it !!! Job... The Boss #1. He has been gone most of the day. It has been a long hard day. We are tired, dirty and ready to call it a day. He shows up ready to go to work. 3 - 4 hours later we finally get to call it a day. #2. Never fails... he looks up at the clock and says... Wow... it is really getting late... we should have been out of here a couple hours ago. #3. Friday night at quitting time... He tells us we had a good week and are caught up on everything. The following Monday morning he walks in all hyped up and tells us we are way behind and need to get a lot done. #4. Harvest or spring planting. Sunday night he tells us we can have the rest of the weekend off. Have fun !! Tim
Exactly. What in the hell is up with that? They leave the dramatic conclusion so I can watch some duffus do a fist bump with a cameraman. Sorry.... it's just sorry. And I definitely agree on the jerks that brake out the firearm for the last day. Either you're a bowhunter... or you're not. Make up your damn mind.
All they are doing is leaving the death shudders out so the animal activists have less to gripe about. Personally, I say keep the camera on the deer and if the animal huggers don't like it, they can change the channel!
I've been married to the same woman for over 30 years and she still asks me every freaking day. I've told her time and time again that after all this time she should know what I like and don't like, so pick something I like and quit asking me!"
Do you really think by avoiding the finish we're doing anything to change the way the activist think or react. They came in wanting to do away with all hunting, weapons etc. You could have every animal drop dead on the spot and it won't change their mission or mind. Last pet peeve.... "Harvest". It's just such a sorry cop out. Again, using harvest doesn't change one antis or undecides mind. We kill... just like they do for the meat in the grocery stores. We don't harvest in wars. We kill....just like in hunting.
NO David I don't think it'll change how they feel, if you read my whole statement you should be able to realize that. However, if it is shown all the way to the deer dropping, I can also see the animal activists having a hayday with it. I have two of those "I can't believe you kill Bambi!" people in my family. One of them is more freaking rabbit than human and the other finds it acceptable to eat any meat from the store, but is totally against hunting to put food on the table. I hear their rhetoric every time there is a family reunion.
I think they are opposed to the arrow/bullet going through the head, heart, guts etc...just as much as they are the deer falling. it is not as if a tree hugger says, well that arrow through the heart was not to bad, but seeing the deer fall on the ground just put me over the top...
How about people afraid to pass tractor trailer so they just drive for 50 miles in the passing lane on it's corner bumper Lottery Peeve. Our government creating this BS lottery system to soak more money out of the people that don't enough not to buy them. Really
people who talk down at my dog and talk up on how good their dog is, yet they never bring their dog because it isn't as good as my dog. (talking about bird dogs)
From last night (wife's employee birthday party at restaurant that I was forced to attend): - waitress reaching across me to grab my beer to check if it's empty. I'll let you know when it's empty. - redneck next to me complaining about how the drink he ordered that came in a huge glass with an umbrella and orange slice on the rim, and was called some stupid name, was too fruity. Know what you are ordering, idiot. - redneck sitting next to me wearing a wife beater and cargo shorts. - why are 90% of seafood restaurants compelled to cover nice, fresh seafood in a heavy sauce? why? It doesn't make any damn sense. we have wonderfully fresh seafood down here, and then you all go and cover the fresh fish in this goopy, heavy, god forbidden cheese sauce. - why is cake icing always entirely too rich?
SOME Harley riders. My milk truck Is big and when I'm driving down the highway and I meet a Harley 9 times out of 10 they hug that center line when I meet them. Most other bikers don't do this, just some of these tough guy Harley riders. I love Harley's but some of these Harley riders have a chip on their shoulder.
- In-laws that still treat you like a jerk of a stranger even though you've treated their daughter like a princess for nearly a decade. - Girls that won't even head South but expect it in return. - Incompetent micromanaging bosses. - People who feel compelled to tell me I'm going bald, getting fat or really tall. I of course was unaware of all these things before they told me. - People who aren't willing to give other hunters a chance. For instance, a new guy moves to an area and wants to hunt and nobody helps him out. - People who don't put time in the field scouting, but are always ready to hunt when the time comes and they don't mind using your spots. - Pro-staffers that think they're better than anyone else. - Dog walkers that go into a heavily wooded area along a game path and let their dog go to the bathroom wherever they want. - Individuals that decide to go hiking in the woods during hunting season when they've insisted on having paved walking paths. - People who won't try eating wild game but eat processed foods. - People who shoot stuff they won't eat.
Most bike riders shade toward the center line. It's safer. They're more visible to oncoming traffic and it eliminates someone in a car going the same direction from trying to make 2 lanes into 3. If they ride the shoulder side cars coming from the other direction also try to add a lane. Personnally, if I saw a big milk truck coming I'd slide over a bit to avoid the wind blast when you passed.
