Well, I know professional and 10 other words.
Seriously, though, w/exception of novice hunters, most here will be able to catch a red flag and these people will totally out themselves w/bad advise eventually. I use to hunt w/an extended group from time to time and we would all gather, talk and plan. We would discuss scenarios and what we would do in those situations. Some of those people had the right answer but I caught them not doing what they said. For example, I'm person B and person A is following me but they stop at their chosen point and I continue farther on. Person A has chosen a large hardwood tree they can hide behind and they are standing to peer around the tree or they can circle around it as cover as events necessitate. At the end of the hunt, hunter A is waiting on me so we can walk out together. I notice the leaves are still around the base of the tree they used for cover, In the previous scenario, person A said they would clear a 360 degree circle around the base so they wouldn't alert deer from crunching leaves. They didn't follow their own advise and when questioned, they saw no deer. Having situational knowledge but not using it when able just shows a lack of wisdom.
