Man, I love harsh replie's to a novice's foul-up, All it show's is your immaturity and I imagine when you were learning and did something stupid thats how someone reacted to you. as a bowhunter education instructor I heard hundreds of what could have been construed as stupid comments, however we looked at it as an opportunity to GENTLY educate so as not to dampen enthusiasm. I would have said to that young man wow it sounds like you are really learning to call , are you going to try to kill an elk this year? the answer of course will be "sure". then I would have said "in my experience if you call them in preseason you educate them and it's harder to get them to come in when you are actually hunting " and then relate some real or contrived situation's to back up your statement.In my opinion it's ok to fudge a little when educating as long as what you are saying is factual and will help the novice.
