Isn't escort just a fancy name for prostitute? its a name for a fancy prostitute Prostitue = Golden Corral Buffet Escort = Ruth's Chris or Morton's
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Well, I didn’t take it that way, obviously.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Escort is usually followed by service....Escort Service
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I once took a buck to the processor and a man ran over to me, very alarmed, to ask if I had shot his deer. He produced a printed picture of the deer and wanted to compare it to mine. We sort of ignored him and the employee came to get my buck, and on the way out he tried to get me to come talk to him again about "if it was his deer he had been watching all season." This makes him sound more aggressive than he was, he wasn't... just really weird. So yes, people do get that way.
I definitely get wishing you'd been the person to get that deer, but some people get overboard.

I'm sure many of us have also seen cases where someone was more disappointed that a certain individual had killed a deer that they had wanted for themself or someone else, such as a wife or child.
I would bet one or two of you might even recall a time when such a thing came close to creating a physical altercation. Had it happen with a good buddy of mine. He missed the deer earlier in the week, while I was in the blind with him. He hunted that deer for 3 straight days in the stand where the wind wasn’t right. I told him over and over to brush in on the other side of the draw. He never did and hunted the blind with no luck. Opening of mule deer rifle season arrives so he hunts the wheat field in hopes of a good mule deer. I go to where whitetail was missed and brush in on the opposite side of blind so my wind is good. First hunt, after he hunted there for 3-4 days straight, I shoot the buck. Deer went 161in with 40in of mass and was figured to be 7-8yrs old. He was sick to his stomach and wanted to kick my butt that night but he’ll tell you to this day that he had his shot and missed. He’s still a good hunting buddy to this day.

I will get up and run it down, but it's not a 100% tactic. They run faster. I've noticed that you have mentioned, several times, your favorite tactic of running down deer. Do you, by chance, have a video of this?

I enjoy hunting a particular buck on any lease I am hunting. If someone else happens to take the buck I am after, I am disappointed, but not devastated to the point of not wanting to hunt. There is a certain amount of competition between a buck and myself and myself and others that hunt around me and I don't see anything wrong with that. If someone takes issue after a buck is harvested and claims that that was his buck is where the problems crop up. Deer are wild animals and there is no way to determine for sure where they will or will not present themselves. Deer hunting is a crap shoot and all you can do is try to put all of the things in your favor and then go about your business and what happens happens.
Tired, Wired, and Uninspired

You guys are taking this WAY too serious, hunting is a hobby not a life or death matter. To some it is a Hobby, to others like me it is part their DNA or life style I for one take it as serious pleasure with Mother Nature
