Sound's to me that this guy is relying on alot of luck ,but so far he's getting the wrong end of the shovel.
I certainly understand your demeaner about this whole situation ,,nothing worse than an idiot in the wood's who can't not only shoot ,but sound's as if he just doesn't have any idea about hunjting at all.
I hope somewhere along the line you can find yourself some piece of mind and just maybe another good little honey hole all to yourself.

Good luck
