Ever had a bad experience with people at camp?

There is more drama at hunting camps/leases than a woman who loves watching shows like The Bachelor can ever dream of

So they left you alone? Sounds like a good experience.

I wish that both of them would have left but the one that got butt hurt stayed.

Keeping the circle small. I look at it like it's a lesson learned.

You can only influence a pissy grown man so much. At some point you just have to ignore him and his attitude and go about your business. Same rules apply for women and children. I spent many years thinking I was responsible for making people happy. Once I quit worrying about assholes with attitudes, my life got a lot easier.

Reason I usually hunt alone or with a select few on occasion.

The one lease/camp I was involved in had exactly zero cross words, bad feelings, etc. May have been to the shitty no alcohol rule, but I think it was more the group of people. The other thing was, no sense of ownership of "spots". We had a large map with nails in it. You put your penny on the nail where you're going to hunt.

Man that story was super lame.

I get it, shite like that can ruin the vibe of a great weekend. I bet #2 never gets invited anywhere anyway?

That was a brief explanation of it. Some other things happened too. Sat morning we get up go to the stands we picked out, I see this fool walking the edge of the field towards me around 7:45. He gets about 100 yards from me and finally see me. So basically my hunt is shot. I get down and ask him WTF is he walking around for? His response " I was bored".

We get back to the cabin after the morning hunt and he pulls out 3 different pistols, which I assume he was thinking we were going to a range. He wanted to set up cans and just shoot. All the while he started drinking at 10:30, so I tell him, for one you need to go to town to pay me back and two we're not here to shoot cans with a .45, while you are drinking. At this point I'm fed up with him.

Mid day we go check the hog trap and find 4 pigs in it. So we let the boy shoot them. So he started pouting because he didn't get to shoot the first one. We load the pigs up and reset the trap. All of a sudden he become the expert and tries to tell us how to set it and it needs to be moved. Cutting people off mid sentence. So we just stand back and watch him try to set it for a solid 10 minutes. It was comical to say the least. At one point he trapped himself in the pin. Then gets mad because we are not helping him.

We get back to the cabin and start showing the boy how to skin the hogs and he is in the background the whole time he became the expert again.

That afternoon is when I pulled him to the side and told him he needed to tone it down, at first he was dumbfounded, then he got mad and I had to put him in his place. I'm one to bite my tongue for a while but after everything I had enough.


I've never seen a grown man get upset the way he did by getting called out on his BS.

Sorry my brother-in-law ruined your hunt.
