Went out tonight and stayed until dark seeing several does and a buck to far to shoot at.Whene I crawled out of my stand and walked to the road.Someone hollared " hey" I stopped to look and it was an older man I had met last year in this same area.He asked if I had saw anything and I told him no.This is because when I met him last year he was bragging about all the shots he had been getting at deer but would either miss or gut shot a couple and he told me he wasn' t going to look for them because it was hopeless.
I told him I had a range out to 40 yards and he could practice there if he would like to.He denide my request but I saw him no more last year.
Well tonight the first thing he tells me is thathe took a 65 yard shot at a doe and took off some belly hair but found no blood.[] I couldnt believe it,I said that that is a very long shot and that I would never attempt a shot like that (hint hint).He said it did not matter he shoots a single 20 yard pin and was comfortable with any distance [X(].Besides ruining more deer than his life is probably worth this is just plain ignorant.I have gotten to where I would like to find his bow laying around and stomp on it a few times but he would probably try to shoot with it any way.
I am at a loss this is public hunting with a bow only.I used to get so pissed when people started talking about not letting anyone hunt this area unless they went thru a shooting test and now I can see why[&o].
Just venting a little and has everybody have to deal wih idiots like this.
