[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 720577, member: 22242"] Ill just clear the air here. That was me. I was taking a guy out who had never hunted before We got to the fields and there was a truck pointing east with people sitting in it so assuming they were hunting the east field so we took the south one which was better anyway with an inexperienced hunter. The deer came out and he got super excited and just started firing away, I had told him to take his time and not to get too excited but as you know sometimes the shooting gets wild. we went and looked for the deer found the chunk of bone and and found a blood trail that was not very good, so I told him we would give her a few hours and come back later in the night hopefully she would bed down and not be able to get back up. So we went back to the ditch to see if more came out as we had a lot of tags to fill. Thats when Ryan (huntinfool18) walked across the field and i heard them shoot a couple times so I knew what they went and killed so we left. The next day was spent at the range to verify the guys gun and do a little training. then we went out again. This time the mule deer came out I was spotting his shots (4 of them ) and they were all low misses but one. He did finally get one. So yeah things got a little out of control but when an new and excited hunter is on the trigger its hard or impossible to control them. I have been spending a lot of time with him at the range and he does well on paper but that "deer fever" gets to him badly. Later that week when I saw Ryan and he was questioning me I was friendly in spite of the line of very pointed questioning I was getting. He said he killed her which I knew he had what else am I to say? so i went with "enjoy it" The situation wasnt ideal but I guess its the only way for the guy to learn. I have hunted with Ryan before and I think we both know things dont always go as planned do they? I know I will catch a lot of flak for it but its what happened. [/QUOTE]
