I'mm still carrying 4 12 ga. pellets in my left calf and had my left under arm torn up by a friend or sort of afriend whom I'd never hunted with before. I don't drrink at all but this character drank 1/2 a mickey of homebrew while walking in the bush to flush grouse. I was dressed head to toe in hunter oranage...no leaves on the trees and about 30 yds away. I didn't realize that he likes to drink while hunting. He asked me to go hunting with him the next two years....but I'm not as stupid as he looks....be careful who you hunt with!
Who ever had a nightmare hunting partner.

Not a hunting partner but, muzzleloader hunting in December season almost a foot of snow overnight a buddy was meeting me in a tall stand of pines. He went in from a side road and tracked some deer my direction. The deer went through before I got to my stand, so we split up on each side of the tracks to walk out to the road. I got to the edge of the pines and I took the primer out of my rifle as I noticed a pickup with a couple of guy's in it dressed in orange. I turned and walked to my pickup, when I got to my truck I turned arouned and noticed the pickup was stoped at my partner and the guys got out and took the rifle from him. I noticed the guy was swinging the gun in almost every direction including mine and past my partner. The one guy came to talk to me then identified himself as a C.O. checked my gun then went back to my partner. My partner walked out of the trees that were right up to what used to be a fence line and straight into the C.O.s they charged him whith a loaded gun on the road. To make along story shorter my friend got some good defence and I do believe he brought up swinging the LOADED gun around past him that the charges were dropped.
took a "friend" black bear hunting last spring,get to my spot & he jumps out of the truck, slams the door and starts putting on his steel toe work boots -so we can walk up a dry dirt road - not an ospicious start.
I start walking as he's muckin with his boots.150 yards I see a large bear ripping apart an old cedar stump,can't believe he never heard the door slam.chamber a round + start a stalk.I hear crunch crunch crunch ,its not the bear its my buddy double timing to catch up.big wave ,he stops i give him the freeze and resume stalk. crunch crunch crunch I give the freeze hand signal again,bears still shreading stump,resume stalk. dam he starts again,this time i give him the f-u finger .he stops ,he watches me take my boots off and resume stalk in socks for last 75 yrds.bear is just around other side of stump now but moving to give me a shot.drop to one knee take a breath.CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH . bears books it down a steep slide into a river and gone.buddy says he wanted to "see" what i was stalking,very very quite drive home.

I agree with RoscoeT
I tend to be opinionated, but a private opinionated person. I try to let the smallest amount of private information about me be put on the Net. Why?
I know several staunch Anti's [Edit: They are relatives... ones I have little to do with, but must share a family with
]... the worst kind, the kind that want all gun owners labotamized (literally, not figuratively: they feel hunting and gun ownership is a rage/anger disease only cured by chemical or physical labotomy)... and they have accounts here on CGN so they can gather ammo against law-abiding outdoors sports people like us.
How do I know? Because they tell me stuff about me that only was posted here on CGN. I have actually edited out stuff on my posts to reduce what they can hold against me: firearms (what I call sporting tools) I own, what and where I hunt, what ammo I use, etc. I have tried to find out who they are here, but no avail. They are smarter than you think: they are quiet around anyone and keep their extremist views to them selves.
As posted, and in my user CP, I am an electrical tradesman (public knowledge). I had a great instructor who encouraged apprentices to share the bad stories, and we would actually spend time going through the mistakes and showing what could have been changed to prevent them: I learned a lot from the "horror" stories of others. I recommend it to anyone who want to teach others how to be safe in awesome, rewarding sports like shooting and hunting. I do it all the time... just with those I know are into the sports and are not going to use what I say against me.
In my very opinionated opinion: be aware the Antis will use any word you say against you.

Captonion, thanks for the good laugh...I nearly pissed myself!!! I've had a couple of hiccups with a few "hunters", and have since hunted with as little "new guys" as possible. Again, thanks for the good laugh...cheers!

Just delete your account and make a new one with a different name and don't tell them the name. Problem solved. Post all you want.
And newsflash, posting bad stories about hunting partners isn't going to change much for the antis view on hunting. #### happens in life. #### happens while hunting too.
Had some neighbors who hunted in the same general area as my friend and I. One was a Davy Crockett wannbe but he was continually getting lost. The neighbors found us one day and said they needed help going to find their buddy (Mr. D.Crockett). It was getting very late and as were about to head out looking (along roads) for him we see him stumbling/running down the road toward us, his tongue hanging out. We accuse him of getting lost again. He denies it. Back and forth for a bit and when we finally quit teasing him he proceeds to tell us how someone else in the bush has got the exact same pair of boots as he does. Said they even looked to be the same size. Wouldn't believe he was walking in circles.
The same guy is convinced his compass always points to camp. He showed us how it worked one day (so we could all be better bushmen like him). Wouldn't listen to a proper explanation. Apparently, all you have to do is follow the needle back to camp. He couldn't explain how the needle knew where the camp was.
We accidentally wandered to his camp once (we would never go there on purpose) and while chatting for a minute we are trying to figure out what the awful smell is coming from a pot he's boiling. I wander over and look. Looks like he's refining oil. I ask what it is, he tells me a rabbit he got. I ask what the foam in the water is, he doesn't know. I ask where the water came from and he jerks a thumb toward the trees. I wander over and look at the stagnant puddle/stream he took the water from. Water probably hasn't moved from there in years. I point that out to him and he says he just wiped away the top and took water from below the surface so it's good. YIKES!!

Regular
I used to go caribou hunting with a guy from work. He was older than me, and I thought a pretty decent hunter. Until one one trip to a remote place where we had to sleep in a boat where I discovered to my horror he would walk around all day with a round up in the chamber. I let him walk about 50 yards in front all the time, and he kept getting lost, and then he had to yell to find out where I was. And to top it all off, he stole my SMLE magazine which was full of ammo, and denied that he touched it. That was the last time I went anywhere with him.

tried hunting with a person I didnt know too well. Nice enough guy, but wow.
so we are driving around he is looking for deer to the driver side of the vehicle. Now this means he is driving left of centre on the road and a hill is up ahead. Scary stuff.
We find this field he has been in before Im standing on one side and he is going to walk through the bush hoping to push something out. needless to say I think he scared everything into the next county.
then, this is the really bad part. Later on the cell phone rings and we have to go back to town for something. WTF??? Apparently his lady needed him to do something that he forgot about...
it was last day of the season and we end up going back to town. We go out later on that day, I had no other choices for somewhere to go. Only saw one deer. it was beyond my personal range to shoot, and he scolded me to have taken the shot. Im like dude, you dont even know if it was a mulie or white tail!!
So no more hunting with that guy.

That simplify many many problems and we all are kept in line by our most senior guy and He's ain't that nice at all when it comes to safety and shooting , especially cooking , smells and cleaning .It's too good to straighten up "I know all" guy than all telling him to pack. Anyway we have our fare share for letting our land owner's (second property ) son on our main camp and he shot a running bear and then chcikening out as bear turned around , he ran and droped his clip , the other guy was seeing all then he had to finish the job . Lesson learned,we pretend that we still have bear prints at our campsite every night and SON never showed up after that
i thought i could read and understand english, but this has me massively lost and confused.

Sounds good but still have chances to look into what we all are facing and how these all stupidties can we be fixed, Simply we need to admit them first and figure out how others handle them = anyway anti's gonne be making their own stories doesn't matter you tell or not , so don't need to give much thought to them IMHO
People already call Rob Ford drunkered , wife beater , fatter , but his honesty and commitment pull him through

Anyone who hunts with me normally comes out skeet shooting or target shooting before the season.The only chance I ever took was with diemaco on here and he is a standup guy.Alot of grief could be saved by "testing" people before you take them into a high adrnaline situation with loaded firearms.
And No I am not the guy who missed two coyotes at 25 yard
