I had to make a trip to Discount Tire yesterday. (Bad valve stem). While waiting in the lobby, I am feeling an odd stare from an older fella near the coffee machine. I wanted coffee, so I shuffled over there(hoping for silence) and immediately got a “you kill anything yet?” Dangit! I forgot i had a Tbh hoodie on. Well, I gave some random short answer and tried to retreat. Well, he was having none of it...
This guy knew every gun store, gun caliber, gun wood, gun gun gun gun in Tarrant county, the surrounding counties and all the counties in Texas. In the three seconds I got to get a word in between the name dropping and the phone pics, I mentioned bowhunting and that I was about to take a trip to a beautiful high fence ranch down south. He immediately changes gears ranting how he despises high fences. He did, however, give me permission to “do as I please” and hunt a high fence ranch but he doesn’t like high fences.
Next item for his disgust was the fact I mentioned bowhunting. Well, he doesn’t like bowhunters because he has a friend who “shouldn’t even own a bow” and is a “terrible hunter with zero ethics” because he shoots deer and wounds them constantly.
It was at this point I’d had enough. I decided to end this conversation and said, “for every single bowhunter who shouldn’t own a bow, there are 50 rifle hunters who shouldn’t own a rifle or call themselves a hunter.”
I doubt what I said sank in but at least I said it. Lol!!!
