re: I was asked to leave the hunting club for not violating any rules

killed many (in my opinion) great deer but never had one shoulder mounted.

First deer I ever killed as a teenager was a massive 8 point on family land. I had it shoulder mounted but since then I haven’t had one done. If I ever kill a bigger buck I’ll have it shoulder mounted.

This was in October 1998

Did you hunt on a beach?

OP, I'd be a spiteful a-hole.

If none of the members owned the land, I'd send that email along with the club rules to the owner of the land to let him know what little bitches they are. I'd also tell them about the camp you restored with your own money.

After I collected all my stuff out of the camp, I'd be tempted to burn it to the ground.

You're better off not hunting with those petty assholes anyway

A couple of years ago my buddy killed a 166” typical 8 pt, beautiful deer. I couldn’t have been more stoked for him, but there was a couple of guys in our camp that I thought were my friends that were mad as hell. Come to find out, they had it on camera and didn’t tell a soul. This after I told one of them were a 140” deer was and he killed it. True colors show in situations like these. You’re better off finding somewhere else to hunt.

This happened also. Different cliques had their own cameras and didn't tell anyone about the deer seen.

There was even a dust up about the 2 cull bucks on the property that almost no one knew about. Some of the long time members were asking why the photos weren't made available to everyone.

rules. I will never understand how one can be upset when someone else kills any legal deer. Hell, we celebrate at our place when somebody kills one!

Me either. If the camp has a program for bucks I understand if you kill a small one. But if you violate no rules then there’s no issue.

I congratulate people on their kill. I’m entitled to any deer, if they kill one I’ve been after then good for them as long as it wasn’t on my food plot without permission

Not shoulder mounting the buck may have come across as you not respecting the buck that they’d all dreamed of.

It’s his kill. He can grind the antlers into dust if he chooses imo. Not their business

The problem was that I was too good at killing deer. They didn’t kick me out, but some of them wanted to.

Had a duck hunt once like this. Grandfather in Stuttgart was a dr. Took a bunch of doctors and lawyers on a duck hunt. They got mad cause my dad and I were killing all the ducks and they couldn’t hit shite. So we put our guns down and laughed at them the rest of the time

Sounds like a political dove hunt I was on as a kid. I was probably 12 or so and my dad and I were on this dove hunt that all the local politicians attend. They bait the fields and post a deputy at the gate to keep green jeans out. Had black guys on 4 wheelers with ice chests running around to all the stands with beer and drinks. They'd clean your doves for you. It was a heck of a party.

But at this time, I was shooting thousands of rounds of shotgun shells a week. And doves were not getting past me. And I just happen to be in a spot where better than half the doves coming to this field came by me first and I dumped a limit of them as soon as a limit flew by.

My dad could see which way the wind was blowing so he called me off and I just went out in the field to grab some of the downed one's I hadn't already gotten and gave the sheriff my spot. And that's how I almost got my head blown off by the Caddo Parish Sheriff at the ripe old age of 12.
