Helping other hunters...

Maybe MattintheWild is a member here. If so please speak up
This video he shot in Utah is a rather interesting look at the public land hunter. I'm not sure I would be quite this helpful to someone who might not ought to be out there....

Your thoughts?

Randy you might want this guy as a cameraman. he seems to be pretty good in the hills...

Geezuz......

I may have tried initially, but I don't think I would have kept it up when it was obvious the hunter didn't know what he was doing. I think "you shoot my deer," would turn into "you dress my deer" and "you pack my deer out."

And thus ends the discussion of where Utards comes from...

That whole deal is messed up.

I've been hunting with a guy just like that - who later went on to hunt/guide on a high dollar elk ranch in eastern MT. In the Bozeman area, he's known as "The Shark".

I would say that the hunter was probably pretty green, which I've run across quite a bit in the woods. I worked as a guide for several years and one guy in particular was a walking contradiction.

He showed up into camp and talked the talk, when time come to shoot the rifles to make sure they didn't get bumped on the flight I was even more convinced I wanted to guide this "hunter". He had swarovski everything: binos, scope, range finder; worked over 300 mag that had been blue printed yada, yada, yada.

Put him on the bench. He couldn't hit the 4x4 target stand!!! I shimmied in behind the gun and took a few shots, hit right where you wanted it to. Crazy ridiculous!!

As far as the runners trying to help the guy out get him on a buck, that's friggin awesome! Nothing wrong with that.

Would the guy have known what to do once he shot it?
Several times over the course of dad's life when we hunted with him we came up on somebody who had just knocked an animal down and wasn't sure what to do and were just waiting for a buddy or relative to help them out. Dad always made sure we helped somebody out in that situation.

I hear ya Idnative. I guess we owe it to our fellow NEW hunters to get 'em started right, and go with someone for their first time. I guess I have a problem with the fact that this guy didn't have someone to get him started right.

Shucks, maybe if he took the rifle to the range and discovered he didn't like shooting, then maybe he wouldn't be out bumbling in the woods where he was out of his league.

Now I don't want the STATE to regulate this guy . They already taught him hunter safety and he managed to pass. But we all know someone like this and we chuckle about their ineptness. Don't we owe it to other folks on public land to maybe get them somewhat savvy so the greenhorn doesn't get lost and we have search parties tromping through our hunting area?

We all were this green once. Granted most of us were 9 years old at that time , but still...

I think he is one of those guys who after eating meat wrapped in packaging at his local store decided he would try it for real, bought all the kit (probably brand new), maybe never even fired the gun before he ventured out, actually saw the deer but bottled it, the runner missed an opportunity there, he should have offered to buy the kit after his 'hunt' was completed.
Its a pity he didn't do a little research, go out with an experienced hunter (i'm some one on here could have helped out if he was a member and asked) or dug a little deeper and gone out with a guide.
Shame he appeared to be a really nice guy, as did the runner also.
Cheers

The hunter was a Hmong.Mainly they are found in wisconsin and minnesota during the deer hunting season.Most of them wont speak english to you and wisconsin has even printed the hunting regs in Hmong writing.They normaly will shoot anything that moves and even eat it right there.They cook squirrles over an open fire with the hair on and internals still in the carcass.They eat it all nothing goes to waste.I was hunting a private farm one time and caught one othem tresspassing years ago.I caught up to him and he spoke in hmong tounge.Then he made a sound like a banshee "whoa whoa".All of a sudden 5 more of them came out of the wood work.One spoke broken english and pulled a map of a county park out and said to me "Free hunt we hunt here" I told him "No free hunt here,free hunt on public land 2 miles south. He then told me so sorry zankyou.Havent seen them since.
