Things You Hate to Hear!

[mmgrode]

"Whacking" or "Blasting" deer...don't care too much for those.  I don't "harvest" deer...I kill them!(much different than going out to the garden!).

[britts]

I hate to hear that doe snort and start to stomp her foot. I could care less what people think about my equipment or the animal that I shoot.

I agree

I also dislike stories that begin with "I normally wouldn't have taken this shot...."     Most of the time they end badly.

[Wary Buck]

"The reason I shot it is because I needed to get it out of the gene pool."    

Or how about, "I couldn't see anything through my peep."  

I'll stop now...

"just a doe"  WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that one just flat out TICKS ME OFF!

[formerbutcher]

I'm going to use my recurve to try and take a doe ?? Why not use you'r recurve to take a buck too ??

[Cory Mattson]

"it's the only shot I had" --------- No time for that - can mean a bunch of bad situations - all of which should have been a shot not taken. And "I shot a button buck".

When I was new to hunting (I started with a stickbow) I was eager to hunt anywhere with anyone and ended up hunting hogs on a "ranch" with all rifle hunters. As soon as they saw my recurve a few of them (including the guide/owner) made comments such as: "So, after you make that animal look like a pin cushion we're gonna hafta come shoot it for ya?!!" As the fortunes would have it I tagged the biggest hog of all of them! That shut 'em up! Something like that wouldn't phase me at all today but as a new hunter I confess I was tickled pink!

"If I was shootin' my compound I would have got em'"...well this is true for most people because a compound is easier to shoot accuratly..."I hit him PERFECT" but I can't find any blood."...this has happened to me and many others its just something that happens and is factual

[The Ursus]

"Yeah it's small but if I didn't shoot, I would have gone home skunked."  The hunter that said this was disappointed with the grizzly he shot.  Now he has a very small bear on the wall that will disappoint him every time he sees it.  What a waste....

[reddogge]

It's not just gun hunters or compound shooters either.

I quit hunting with a couple of guys years ago who looked down on small bucks.  They were "trophy hunters".  I would love a nice big buck but if the trophy didn't appear that year a small buck would do nicely.  And we were all tradional hunters then, we had no other choice.  Their comments were "Why did you shoot that little thing?" (It was a healthy, fat forkhorn).  By the way these comments were made over 30 years ago and they still gripe me.

I also stopped associating with a club member who was two checkouts over in a large store full of women and he shouted "How did you do deer hunting this year?"  I tried not to reply.  He then bellowed out "I stuck 5 but only got 4."

Ignorance knows no bounds.

[Curtiss Cardinal]

The only situation I have ever heard a bowhunter say."If I would have been hunting with my compound I would have got them." was due to the fact the they didn't take a shot over 20 yards with their new stickbow but would have with their compounds.
I hate to hear everyone in the truck but me fart at nearly the same time.

[ChuckC]

anaconda.  most of those folks don't know where a deers heart / lungs / liver actually are anyway.    

I hate hearing (on TV shows or elsewhere)  " It was the only shot he gave me,  I had to take it"

I'm with you on this one!

"Anything killed with a bow is a trophy"

An accomplishment? Yes. But a trophy? No.

or "A trophy is whatever you want it to be"

[Flesner]

"Sorry, I leased my land this year"
With a selfbow at full draw.... "tick"
"It was the only shot I had" really makes me mouthy.
"Can you kill anything with that"?

When your hunting buddy and you are at the dinner and he says, "I forgot my wallet"!

[Caddo]

"Opps" - After any shot.
"Bzzzzzzzz" - On the ground, in close proximity, and it's dark.
"Shooter Buck"

[BMOELLER]

Even though I haven't killed any monsters, I hate to hear a NET score.  I'd rather hear Gross score.  Why take anything away from the deer?  Whats that saying NETs are for fish?

[cmh]

Anaconda, I could not agree with you more. I have a trio of doe's that I have been sighting all week. They or should I say she (the other two follow her) has three different ways in to the stand of walnut trees on the fence row. My friend yacks about this buck.......... and I am not going after my buck (named Bubba) until I can get that doe. The wiliest wood smart creature I have ever come across. SHe is good........ I just hope I am better    AS far as rifle guys and the handicapped (wheelbows),I don;t pay much attention. Although my friend is a die hard wheel guy he is slowly comming around to maybe trying traditional. I always tell him when he really wants to hunt he will try it
