On one hand, I am applauding your son for dropping that guy, with the caveat that it was youthful rash behavior, and you for keeping things from escalating. On the other hand, I am reminded of a long drawn out recent post that we should support all of our other hunting brothers and sisters. This guy was not poaching, he is simply a hunter, a careless hunter, but a hunter nonetheless. So, I ask all of you who said support your fellow hunters (some of which have already posted negatively about the guy on this thread)where that support is now? That support disappears when folks start doing stupid things, which seem to be more prevelant in gun hunting.

In all honesty, I am happy with the way you and your son handled it and happier that nobody was really hurt (except fatty with the sore jaw). Good job on recovering some of the deer and feeding the hungry too.
