Guest Mistake Stories...

[manwitaplan]

Not in line with the rest of the stories but I'll share something from yesterday at the office.

I work for the State as a Parole Officer. A fellow officer had an offender in his office yesterday and he was going through the guy's pictures on his phone. Came across an LDP of a deer and the conversation went like this:

Offender: Oh and that's the deer I got last weekend!
Officer: Oh yeah, what you get it with?
Offender: .30-06

OOOOPS!

That is greatness!

There's nothing wrong with an *honest* mistake, we've all been there. But some of these stories of intentional and selfish rule breaking blow my mind. This is why we are careful who we invite out to the property. Excellent thread fellas.

I'm with ya. It blows my mind exactly how stern and exact you have to be with some people just to get them to respect the fact they are guests hunting on a property they really have nothing to do with.

I see both sides of it. Yes they're guests and it's a privilege for them to even be there on that land participating in that hunt and to some degree there being there even takes away from paid members. But for some of theses guests they aren't intentionally trying to rape the land and pilfer those resources, the guests just may not be as experienced of hunters or their only exposure to hunting was on places where there is no emphasis on management (what we use to call the tradition of hunting). Those guests should have been up front about that detail but then again for some of these guests it's a case of they may not know what they don't know.

I think there are a lot of leases out there that place more emphasis on the deer herd than the hunter's hunting them. It's kinda like living in a neighborhood with a bad HOA.

Deer hunting guests, even if just for does, do not sit alone, period.
If a hog hunting guest shoots a deer, GW will be called for poaching. Guests are informed up front.
Never actually took him hunting, but one guy always bugged me to let him hog hunt. If I would've taken him hog hunting, I would've sat in the blind with him and handed him a shell when it was time to shoot a hog.
