Look at it this way DD. You took him out and it didn't turn out like you would have wanted it to. The deed is done and it is your chance to really make a difference in this hunter’s life. Talk with him and tell him how you feel about his decision to shoot. If you make him see what sportsmanship is all about then perhaps some day he can repeat the learning on another rookie. I made lots of mistakes with my dad until I got it right and was the type of hunter that he was. We all need to be teachers when it comes to sportsmanship...... CI
C.I. deep down I know your right but it STILL just chaps my butt ..I mean this man is 34 years old for CHRIST sake ....plus I warned him about these two yearlings being around where he was hunting ..discribed them to him ... I hadseen them 4 or 5 timesbut again I am sure your right my friend ... I need to swollow this and try and explain to him WHY my butt is chapped ... but I doubt I will ever take him hunting again ...

Doc we all make new friends and hunting buddies and some work out and others never do. I sympathize about your situation.He can't take the bullet back and so I guess you probably won't take that person hunting again. One of the hardest things in life is getting a great hunting partner. I understand why you are upset but some things just need to be ended. Tell the guy where you are at and walk away........High road only way to go!
