now for the negitive points ... the first day when we were drove out to our stands we were told that we would have to hike into the blinds because the 4X4 might get stuck in the snow ...I had almost a mile to walk and Glen had about a half of mile ...sit for 11 hrs a day staring up a very narrow cut line hoping to see a monster buck cross out of the bush ... between Glen and myself we put in 120 hrs in the stand ..hiking in and out while our outfitter set in his truck all day smoking ...drinking coffee ...listning to sports radio ...and napping ...
This is why I would never be an outfitter. Premadonas bitching about actually being forced to hunt.
while in my stand on the 2nd day I was so bored that I decided to shoot at my decoy about 100 yards away...
You're shooting at your decoy and you wonder why:
between Glen and myself we put in 120 hrs in the stand... .on stand we saw a total of 6 deer ...thats rightONLY 6 deer between the two of us in 120 hrs...
Maybe because you where shooting at your decoy!!!
I for one would have shot that borrowed rifle before I took it into the woods so that I would know where it was shooting.
I wasn't there so I shouldn't take sides, but some of the things you say make me think that I would side with the outfitter. Listen I've known guys who went to canada in hopes of bagging a big whitey. Its pretty common knowledge that you will be expected to sit in a stand in very cold weather for 12 hours a day. You may only see a handfull of deer in a week of hunting. Everybody knows this, its the fact that one of those deer may be a huge buck that people put up with it.
Listen I'm not very politically correct, and I've been known to run off at the mouth too much. But, Quit your whinning its huntingyou sound like a real city slicker peckerwood!
Just my not so humble opinion! flame me
