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

when I was a newbie I went out hunting with a guy who is really experienced. His dog got onto some goats, he shot one and the other got tangled in some supplejack. He said I could shoot it, I was about 5 m away trying to see where I could shoot it in a vital area . I hear a bang and he shot it, said he was getting worried it might escape . Me and the goat were directly in front of him and I was 5m to one side of the goat. it didn't sit right with me that he took the shot and a week or so later I described the scene to another hunter I knew. He was furious, wanted the guys name and warned me never to go hunting with him again.
A more experienced hunter probably would have dropped him for doing that, he probably knew I wasn't experienced enough to be 100% confident on calling him on it.
