Things You Hate to Hear!

[Earl E. Nov...mber]

Worst one of all "It might have been a little far back"

[JOKER]

Bill tell, That's a good one about Gettin Close selling the POSTED signs. But hay, that is realy the ONLY piece of equipment they could not do without!!

[MikeW]

Referring to a doe as "a slick head"

[3blades]

Went to a 3-D shoot over the summer and a guy with a compound in his hand says "I've been a Traditional guy all my life" and also this "What kind of stuff you got going on there" He was referring to my back quiver. This is only my second year hunting and my first with Traditional gear and already see the silly animosity of some folks have in our small hunting society of today.

When my wife refers to my back quiver as.."cute"

[always89s boy]

when someone calls an animal dumb. Those"dumb" animals have been around allot longer than us and dodge us all the time. By no means are any of those animals dumb

I hate to hear someone say, after looking at my one of my selfbows" I could never make one those, I just don't have the patience". They are sure selling themselves short.

My all time least favorite saying when I recommend someone learn to make arrows, strings, bows or work on the hunting club is" I don't have the time". These same people probably watch 2 or 3 hrs of TV a day, hunt a good bit, visit with friends and do everything else they want to do but when it comes to learning something new or helping at the club, they "don't have the time".

another thing i hate to hear is that trad hunters smell like mountain men, carry there arrows in rotten coyote skin quivers, and are unethical because they cant shoot.  for the most part, thats just not true.  i wish people could see it was just an difference in equipment choice, and that we all were in it to have fun.  
on the other hand, i hate to hear trad shooter down the skill of compound archers.  yeah, at 20-30 yards, it sure is easier to shoot a compound.  but compound archers are psuhing the ranges further and futher.  those who say compound are easy to shoot, have you ever shot at 60-100 yards?  i have, and that tiny breeze ya feel on your face?  that'll push your arrow clean off the Block target at 80 yards.  people who say "gimme a day and i could do the same", are just plain ignorant.  a day with a compound is just long enough to screw the cam timing up, mess up the drop away sttings (uh...whats a drop away?, much less set the 1st, 2nd and 3rd axis level, micro adjust the pins.  one day is also enough time ta start punching the trigger, and learning a suprise release?  takes months.  some people - both trads and compounds - just plain old crack me up at the total ignorance over anything but there specialty.

"Is a Black Widow worth it?"  That is my least favorite line (could be any brand inserted here, but this one seems to be asked more than most).  If it isn't worth it to you, don't buy it.  

I also hate "BBD, big buck down"  I stopped watching the outdoor channel because I got so sick of hearing it.  

"I like to do things the hard way.  Keep my shots close."  Then proceed to take 60 yard running shots on camera.

I could go on and on...Mike

I heard michael waddel the other day say..."papa waddel is about to lay the smackdown on that joker"...LMAO...I hate when they say things like that

[waknstak IL]

When someone asks "did you catch a deer?"

[Henry Hammer]

I hate that there is not enough UNITY in our sport HUNTING no matter the weapon.. But I here you loud and clear it drives me up the wall how unethical some hunters are and they wonder why we are viewed this way when they are in the store talking about the one they smoked, layed the smack down, etc. etc. Nets are for fish,this I agree with but the score of a buck has taken over our sport, remember when there was a big deer contest and the winner was determined by weight not rack size? And if I haved smoked something it is either turkey, jerky, sausage, fish,etc.

i hate to hear trad shooter down the skill of compound archers. yeah, at 20-30 yards, it sure is easier to shoot a compound. but compound archers are psuhing the ranges further and futher.  

That is exactly my problem with compound shooters.  The whole point of hunting with a bow and I use the term loosely when describing anything with cam's and letoff. Is to get within the animals comfort zone.  I haven't hardly killed anything compared to most of the guys on this site, yet until the day that I am forced to live on what I can kill it is very important to me as I think it should be to any "hunter" how I kill the animal.

[Apex Predator]

I just returned from a hunt with 5 wheelie shooters.  I never loosed an arrow.  "We" managed to shoot four hogs and three deer, of which two were nice bucks.  "We" recovered none!  I spent two hunts tracking said animals.  Here are some quotes:  

"Thirty Eight yards is further than I've ever shot before"

"There were some sapplings in the way, but I thought I could squeeze one in there"  

"I only got two inches of penetration because I mis-judged the yardage and the arrow skipped off the ground before hitting the hog"

"I knew the shots on the first two hogs were too far back, but that biggest one was a definite double lunger".  Turns out the third one was still on his feet 600 yards later after we lost the trail for good.

"I shot him too far back, but figured he would be dead after an hour".  This was his explaination after jumping the deer.

Don't think I'll make this trip next year.

[Wannabe1]

Apex, my sympathies to you. Sounds like your ears were literally being verbally assaulted! Can't blame you for not wanting to make that trip again.

What I,ve come to relize is most of these fellows that are loud or running off at the mouth regardless whether its at the the boat ramp, sporting goods store, range, are really just insecure, and when I hear them I just smile because I have them figured out.
