I don't understand the greed, that so many have when it comes to deer hunting.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 10:31 am My son took up hunting for the first time this year, thanks to my brother in law. Not a single deer shot at but my BiL did get at least 8. Why?because he put my son in a spot he’s never gonna see deer. He stays at his little prime spot and won’t share it. Jerkoff….
I got my brother into it. I set him up in the best spots for success. The last year we hunted together, he had become somewhat of a monster, and nothing like the hunter I "raised" him to be.
1. We were sitting together in a 2 man tree stand. Had a nice 10pnt come in. It was all his. As it was coming in, I said "if it looks like it's going to get away and you don't have a shot, but I do...I'm going to take it". He caught wind of us and was on his way out..."Are you on him"..."no"..."can you shoot"..."no"...he was two steps from being gone, so I shot.
2. Again, sitting together by a field. 2 deer come out on his side. I'll save the dialog, but I ended up shooting one. At that time, I only had that 10pnt in the freezer...my brother had 4 deer in the freezer and another one hanging in the garage.
Bro bitched about those 2 I got all the following year. (he got 7 that season...I had 2, because I set him up in the better spots)
No more!
I'm happier with someone else's success, than I am with my own.
This season, Carols muzzleloader buck. Her gun wouldn't cock for some reason. I was already aimed at the deer, for a back-up shot, if needed.
We made the risky move and I traded her my gun, so she could get the deer. I would have felt bad if I had shot it.
