Guest Mistake Stories...
Last year a buddy of mine shot a yearling spike with a .375 h&h as a guest on out place. I told him to shoot a doe and that dang bullet he used probably weighed more than the little buck I still give him heck over that.
The other time wasn't a mistake but it was a bad time. I was living in Charlotte NC and talking with a buddy about my folks place in South Texas and how many deer are down there. Well we decided to make a 21 hr drive in my truck down to the ranch. At the time my Dad had it leased out to some hunters and I was allowed to kill one buck, one doe, 2 javilina and hogs. Well I told my buddy he could shoot one doe, a hog and a javi. That was the deal and he was soooo happy to be going to South Texas even though he couldn't shoot a buck. I hunted with him the first coue of sits and I let him pick which animals he wanted to shoot. We both shot a javi and he got first choice. We then see a large group of hogs and he runs up ahead of me and shoots a hog under the feeder. This was after he missed a monster hog from 75 yards. He's upset that the hog he shot only went about 100 pounds. I tell him it's all good and he can shoot my hog because I get to shoot a buck. My dad had also said to shoot a management buck and not to shoot a trophy due to the people who leased it. Well I let him hunt alone one evening and he calls me telling me he has the biggest buck in his life standing in front of him and could he shoot it. I tell him no and that he new the rules from the start. He continues to throw a fit and have a horrible attitude. He was pouting like a. 6 year old, enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I had shot a management buck that evening shortly after he called me and that made it even worse. The next morning he won't get up to go hunt so I go out and have a short sit. I go back to talk to him and he says you need to bring me to the airport in Houston so I can fly back to NC to hunt in South Carolina this weekend for a BUCK. So he whines Like a baby and is making my hunt miserable so I tell him to pack his chit and get in the dam truck. I cut my hunt 2 days short,drive 4 hrs to the airport drop him off. The guy asked my to bring back all his stuff on my 17 hr drive back to Charlotte by myself, and to keep ice on his kills for 3 days until he got back He also said he would spilt all fuel cost and ice on the way back. Well he came and got his stuff from my house and never paid me a dime.
