Not really a "run in" Brirute.

On Sat. morning I hunted a small woodlot that's just outside of town. I know there's a guy ( we get(GOT) along pretty well, met in the field for bow) that hunts the small plot next to me. Well Friday was opening gun season( I still hunt with a bow but in every piece of orange I own)and this guy starts blasting at about 8am. I hear 5 shots in 8 seconds and I hear the guy reloading?? 3 more shots and 30 seconds or so...2 more...reload! I'm like "Wow...you suck!". So I get down and make my way toward his stand after I holler a little to let him know I'm not one of the 4(FOUR!) deer he was shooting at(over 125 yards, 20 gauge slug with a bb gun scope on it.Grrrrr)

It's just frustrating to share the woods with people who don't really take it seriously. The guy hit a nice 8 point ( the one I've been chasing all year)TWICE! I'm guessing once in the back leg and once in the front somewhere??? All he found was a 2" piece of bone covered in blood.He looked a total of 45 minutes (I helped)before he reloaded and went to a different stand. I went back Sun afternoon with my beagles to try a track job...no luck.

I know some will say I should have said or done something, but I assure you...I was so on angry I could not get started without blowing up. And I never break my own rule number 2 of "never punch a guy with a loaded gun".I helped track as long as I dared while he still had a loaded gun and tried again later.


I'm going to go vomit and cry now...
