Welcome to the board. There is always a chance the person is honestly just uninformed. But I always open my mouth and start off assuming the guy needs help.If he turns out to be a jerk I just shake my antler necklace at him and leave .

You did the right thing. I guess you coulda walked right up to him and told him how dumb he was to think he could just walk out with new equipment and kill a deer but he probably woulda looked at ya and said "HUH." Good luck on yer hunting this year and show us some pics.

Thanks guys, you all made me feel welcome. I know the guy I mentioned probably isn't gonna see a thing when he just walks into the woods this weekend, let alone get a shot.

Good luck to everyone here this season!
