I have the same thing. Coworkers and family members mostly. My cousin, who I love bowhunting with, has been pushing me to go on a "river hunt" with him. Basically he just goes up and down the river looking for deer on private land that he does NOT have permission to hunt. He shoots them from the canoe with his slug gun. ("It's not easy shooting from a moving canoe HA HA"). Then, he says, the fun part is sneaking onto the land and retrieving the deer without getting caught. He keeps bugging me to try it with him. I have zero interest in poaching and trespassing, so I just decline his offers.

I tried to tell him how illegal it was, and his reply is that "There's really no way to get caught, and it's a blast!". It's funny to him. I quit trying because I don't want to fight with him.

When we bowhunt, he's ethical and follows all the rules (as far as I can tell). But during gun season he's a different person.

My other cousin routinely takes head shots at does with his bow because it doesn't ruin any meat! [:@]

I work with a guy who thinks nothing of flinging arrows at deer 60 or 70 yards away, and he's not a good shot by any means. He usually wounds two or three a year, and never finds them. And another coworker only takes two practice shots every year before heading out into the woods to hunt deer.

The slobs are everywhere. Sometimes I feel like it's hopeless.
