Yup! There are some in every crowd. However, there are also new hunters in that crowd who are just starting out and we should be respectful of that. For instance, my neighbor has seen me go hunting almost every Saturday during the fall and winter for the past few years. He' s decided he now wants to become part of this great hunting experience and has been over at my house asking questions and watching me practice. He' s at the point now of buying a bow so that he can take the state certification test next spring. Therefore, he' s not part of these last-minute hunters, but simply a sportsman who has gotten bitten by the ' bug' and now is the time for him to gear up and get ready for next season.

But I hear ya. Probably 85% of those people at the local pro shop are just slackers and procrastinators!
