City-slicker uncle invites some rich guy to our lease to shoot his first deer. We were ok with it, didn't think much since there's always deer around.

Guy starts firing off rounds out of no where and we're at camp kind like:

Calls us: "I GOT TWO!"

We hop in the truck, happy for the guy of course. Pull up. He leads us to where the "deer" are. Not only did he manage to kill a nice 10 pt yearling that had been on our pass list since the season started. He also bagged himself one of my dad's best Beefmaster calves.

My face when I tracked the calf's blood trail to find him laying in some cactus-

Charge that guy an arm and a leg for shooting the calf.
B*** slap him and remove his man card.
Never invite him to anything ever again!

Oh no, That's just about as bad as it gets right there. Only way things could have been worse would have been if the guy hurt himself.

So, Who is keeping that calf? You or the "hunter?"

how in the world do you confuse a BM calf for a deer? That stinks..if that were one of ours "Mr. Rich Guy" would be out some super serious $.

That ain't good!

X2 Sounds like an idiot.

Sounds like he shouldn't have been in a stand by himself.

We kept the calf, at the very least he'll make good eating.

Not sure how he confused the calf for a deer? Apparently in his excitement he looked up and saw another animal sticking out and fired.

Safe to say he won't be going back.

Its a good thing nobody was walking around out there!!! Sounds like this guy was shooting at anything that moved!!! What an idiot!!!

Honestly, that's why we didn't get mad at him. Our fault for trusting him alone.

That's why we have a rule that guests must be accompanied at all times.

Won't make that mistake again will ya?

No sir, lol.

He should have been babyset prior to going out

No guest!!!!!! Rich guy can buy his own hunt if he wants to hunt.

"City-slicker uncle invites some rich guy to our lease to shoot his first deer."

Wow!! No WAY IN H*#L should he have been in the stand alone!!!! Like you said....LESSON LEARNED!!!

Next time I'm giving the dude blanks and having one of the ranch hands hide in the woods dressed like a deer.

Did you make rich boy pay for the calf?

Nah, we used it for eating. No big deal. Cow will have more calves.

$12K for a BM bull calf sounds like a reasonable price + processing costs.

LOL. Well he wasn't that good.

FIFY

I still haven't got past "10 pt yearling".

Dang sure wouldnt been on our place i can get past the yearling deer everyone makes mistakes and I have shot young deer way before I knew they grew old haha but the calf part would put one of us 6 feet under...
