Throwin a little bit extra out there, i hunt the same hunt club as rockin chair and we're pretty good buddies (brothers) ya could say...well, i couldn't come in to hunt the weekend all this went down because i was stuck at school studying for exams...well, i wake up saturday morning about 9:00 am and i text ol' encore and ask him if he has had any luck...he calls me and says "well i've got good news and bad news" and proceeds to tell me how he saw a big buck coming and "decided to shoot that son of a b****" which infuriated me in the first place...anyways, he tells me that it laid down and as soon as it got up he proceeded to take off after it to track it...well, while he was trackin it, like RC said, he heard two shots and figured it was "his" buck down and that if he saw who shot it he was "gonna walk right up to the b**** and make sure he got one of them damned hornings" (not horns folks, hornings...true story)...anyways, he told me that he had lost the blood trail and was goin out to another stand...i then told him i'd try to get in touch with the other hunt club members and let them know so they could help him track "his" buck...well, upon hearing this he got rather offended and had a bit of hostility in his tone showing that he had truly given up on the blood trail (after about 10 minutes) and was ready to head on out to another stand...then when my brother and dad get out to him, not only has he not tagged the last place where he found blood, he can't even remember where he was trackin it in the first place!!!

not sure whether RC has said anything, but throughout the entire hunting season so far we have constantly offered him tips on scent control, where we've scouted and found deer sign and just other general hunting tips that a "one-week-a-year" hunter won't know...not only has he refused our advice, he has deliberately done the exact oposite of what we suggest in many cases...maybe its out of spite, or maybe its just the inability of someone to admit that they are not the expert on a subject...who knows

anyways, i just thought i'd throw this extra info out there...thought you all might enjoy it...also, next time you get a big buck, dont score its rack...score its hornings
