Thread: Taking a new chum out for a first hunt...and the stupid shit they do.

I've been the new guy and chipped about the noise my stiff shanked alpine boots make on logs and roots. And also about my heel scuffing the inside of my leg as I step over things - that nagging sticks in my head now everytime I go out.
Funny enough, the same mentor that chipped me on these things, cannot navigate his way through the bush in any other fashion than bush bashing. Five minutes struggling along with him and I mutter something about his long legs/pace and leaving me behind, offer to take the lead and BOOM we're consistently on game trails walking with ease. The second I lose a game trail I'm looking for the deer shaped hole in the bush... He's noted several times now that I get us around in the bush pretty well. Maybe its because I'm closer to the ground
