I am so pissed off :evil: I have been hunting with the same guys for long time now, but something has changed with two of them. They left their brains at home. They go and set up camp two days early, drink their faces off and cut down tress and move stands around :shock: . And then start hunting the night before I find out, before season opened :evil: . When I show up with my partner, in the morning, plus with my daughter on her first hunt!!!!! These two are still pickled!!! . Now these two guys know better and have been by the book for years. But this was the topper. They wrecked the spot, shot up the place, and ruined it for everyone!!!! I planned this trip with my daughter for over a year!!! I had to begg, cry, stomp my feet to get my ex to let her go, and when she hears about this crap these two clowns did, I am dead man, and so will my daughter's future deer hunting trips. Sorry guys, I just had to vent
 
Definitely time to move on.
Best to focus on making your trips, and your daughters trips, enjoyable and you can't do that while you stress over these two yahoos. Then there is the safety factor!

pissed

I agree with you 100% that is bull ####, when your kids are involved exspecially. There is no room for that crap in a hunting camp, I am a non drinker but i have no problem with anyone drinking sensibley or even excesivley but when they turn into idiots i would remove them from the group forsure, your daughter does not need to see that or be a part of that. I hope it does not change her mind about hunting and other hunters who have respect for the sport.
 
for sure its a crap deal...months ago i said in a forum...only rule i have in camp is no gun out while drinking...a few people stated in nutz here..a camp with rules :roll:
i hope you can have a second chance on taking your daughter to a camp with a few responsible hunter,s..
cheers

For Chriss sake !!!!! there is no need , Time to vote those two idiots off the island , why should you and your daughter and your good hunting buddy be displaced from what sounds like a place you enjoy. Get rid of the ass'es and open the membership book to someone with some brains.
 
You know, I don't really hunt with many people. My all time favorite hunting partner was my dad, but he has been gone for 14 years now. I've hunted plenty by myself over the years, and it has been just fine. Too bad about your experience.
 
I'm in the same 'boat' as 1899 except my "best" hunting partner is my brother,"Gilly". I have'nt had too many experiences with 'hunting buddies',I actually prefer to hunt alone or with my big bro.
I think what your so-called buddies did was crap,I would'nt tolerate it and I would definately shake my finger at them for thier irresponsible and immature actions.
Extinguish thier torches and "tell" them to leave the island immediately :!:
 
Sorry to hear about your experience.I had to change hunting partners myself a few years ago.A partner of several years seemed to suddenly lose interest in all but the actual hunt.He stopped practising his shooting and had no time to sight in his gun, to plan or prepare for the hunt yet he expected to be invited to go hunting with me.I have since helped a new hunter get started in the sport and a couple of years ago two more friends joined us on our hunts.Since then we have a group of four that get along well and have had some good success in our hunting.It is hard to find good hunting partners but when you do it makes the hunt a great deal more enjoyable.Hopefully you can replace those two with people that are a great deal more responsible.

And if they drink too much the effects of the alcohol are still present the next morning when the guns come out again.
 
Sounds like drinking takes priority with them.....time to make a quick exit before something goes really bad. You are supposed to go hunting to enjoy yourself. And if you bring your daughter, the boys better respect her no matter what age (mind their manners, language and conduct, taking a leak etc).

I'll bet you and your daughter will have many years of the outdoor experience together without the hassle of "the boys" and she will grow to enjoy it more too.

That's one of the big problems with the world...too many damn people :!:

As much as I hate to agree with Stubblejumper this is very true. And scary. Who wants to be in the woods when there are people like that with guns in their hands?
 
I too have had the experience of bad camp "Karma' Last year. One of the camp principals brings up his 19 year old son, who is a semi regular, and a newcomer, his sons buddy of the same age. ( He had bleached hair, and wore a clamshell necklace - he quickly became known as "Clamshell Dude".)
The two boys go out every night and party with local friends, returning home at some indeterminate time. Of course, the next morning they are all rinsed out, slow to get up, and laying about waiting for some adult to cook breakfast ("eggs over easy please - and, like, I really prefer peameal bacon....")
Out in the field, they distinguish themselves by not being able to stay on watch for more than 40 minutes, and talk on the radios about the local babe prospects. Get back to camp after a long day of dogging for them, and find Clamshell D drinking one of my prized imported beers - "Nice beer man, where'd you get it... " ("At the f..gg..n' store, you pinhead.")
Anyway, no more babysitting for me :roll:
 
Sorry to hear about your experience and I'm especially sorry to hear about your daughter's poor hunting experience! I hope you gave those boys a good talking to (it probably would have fallen on deaf ears...but, at least you would have had your opinions be known).

I think it would be best to move on. Maybe try and meet a few people in your area via this site.

I stopped hunting with my BEST friend a few years ago after he pulled a beer out in the duck blind. He said that hunting was boring without having a few beers. I suggested he quit hunting altogether if that's the way he felt, packed up my gear and left. I don't tolerate firearms and alcohol AT ALL. We're still friends...but we haven't hunted together since. But, he does pretty much everything this way. I hear stories about his rec-league hockey team clearing off a few beers each before every game all the time. He says they're a drinking team with a hockey problem.

I don't even drink while at camp...opting to have a nice glass of wine with the meat at home... :D

I hope this doesn't turn your daughter off, hunting wise...that would be the real tragedy of the situation.
 
As everyone here stated... "time for new and respectable hunting partners" Shame your daughter had to experience that $hit on her first hunt! :evil:

Take care my friend
 
How many people in your camp... who owns it... who is camp boss. :?:
A diplomatic meeting of the members might be in order... or a round of black eyes... If it was my kid I would choose the latter.
Drunks are fun sparring partners 8)
 
There is no camp boss, because it is away out of the place on crown land. They brought me into the group about 8 years ago after I quit hunting, for about 6 years from another group. So with only 3 muzzel days that I can take off, left for me to find a new spot

Yep, I agree!! :shock: :cry: :x
 
you're right time for new partners. sorry this screwed it uo for your daughter.

but if most of the group is OK and you have a good territory the new partners could replace the old ones...how many in the group?

I've been to two groups one was primarily a drinking group whose main contribution to the hunt was having doe tags in thier pocket but at least they knew better than to carry loaded guns while hung over while 2 or 3 of us actually went to bed and got up early to hunt

The other group has a strict low drinking rule ( no more than a beer or two at night) until at least one moose is brought down, but you're right people change and he makeup of the group has changed quite a bit over the years. The culture of the second group is such that anybody who doesn't pull his or her weight or at least contributes to the best of their abilities due to excessive drinking is made to feel very uncomfortable & usually doesn't come back the following year.
 
Youu need to tell those idjits just what you thionk of their "slob hunter" ways.

Then you need to distance yourself from the both of them as fast as you can!
They will only bring you trouble , because eventually things will catch up to them, either by accident or by unlawful practices.

Start hunting with new partners, especially if they have kids also, that will give your doughter some company of the same age, which is also important.
