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

Ive had a few over the years. 3 that come to mind.

1. I got asked to take a guy out to get a pig. he had a 222. I told him to shoot for the head and he ignored me and shot high shoulder which did drop it but it was getting back up when I sprinted up and grabbed it. He asked what he should do and I said shoot it in the ear. He then put a nice neat hole in its earlobe and I had to re instruct him to put bullet into skull.


2. I took a school mate goat shooting up a bush stream. He shot and wounded a goat across the river. I took gun and jumped in and was half way across when he yells to me and I turn to see him standing on the bank with a wad of cash. He asked me what he should do with his money? To this day I have no idea why he had it there or what motivated him to ask that question at that moment.

3. A girl who was staying with me decided she wanted to try hunting. I forgot what she shot now, probably a pig, But I do remember afterwards that she broke down in tears. I thought she must have hated the experience but it turned out she had expected to hate it and had shocked herself that she really enjoyed it, and thought something was wrong with herself.
