If ya knew he was in-experienced, why didn't ya sit in the blind with him? If he's only ever shot one doe, how can you expect him to quickly identfy a deer as a button buck or doe? Did you even find out the circumstances? Long shot, short shot, did he get to view the deer for several minutes up close, or what? I think ya owe him an appolgy for being so curt with him in that situation!!
Not everyone isas qualified to determine deer age, gender,and size as you are!!
First he is a grown man who doesnt need someone to hold his hand ..
Second ... this was a triopod stand with only one seat
Third ... it was about a 50 yard shot
Forth ..he has hunted for several years ..even bow hunts but just has not been able to get the job done ..however he has wounded several
Fifth .. like I said in the post I take responsability for part of it ... but Ray Charles could have see the deer was about the size of a dog ..
Sixth ..this is not a child or a teen ..this is a grown man .. and the best I can hope is he learned a valuable lesson ..
