Does anyone else work or know someone who knows everything about hunting and shooting? I have a friend who is gods gift to hunting. He told me the other day that deer didn't get velvet until August, even after I showed him pics he argued. He will argue with anyone who buys anything but Leopold optics. I don't have any problem with Leopold in fact they are dn fine optics but there are other good brands out there. I refuse to buy them just on principle. Let me know about your experiences. Should I tell him to shut the hell up or continue to listen to his one track mind.

Everyone knows that guy.

Just ignore them or point it out loudly when something works out to the contrary of what they are touting

I have a buddy that has low self esteem and is always looking for approval. He told me one morning in April that he had a couple "real nice tens" in his yard in Bedias.

Like an a-hole I let him embellish the story for awhile before pointing out to him that bucks have all dropped their antlers and are in the beginning of regrowth phase in April.

He argues with me to this day that he had 2 hard-horned, gorgeous bucks April 20th. I know he made it up.

Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave...

I think some of "those guys" are on this forum...

If I don't know it I can Google it...

You can have fun with "know it alls" and "toppers". Just ratchet up your discussion until they sound ridiculous in their attempts to show off their "knowledge" or "top" you.

There are a couple on here....

Wait a minute...I was telling a guy at work about some 10 pointers I saw in my yard last April....

And I always buy leupold and only recommend Leupold...

Is this post about me?

j/k

We all know someone who just needs to one-up everything.

Did y'all know that teal migrate based on the Fall love bug hatch....

It's a little known fact tha zebras are verticaly striped to make themselves appear to be more slender.
(Is that considered a one up?)

I think every group of people know someone like that (or YOU ARE that guy ). That is the guy that if you harvested a nice 9 point, he got a 10. Or you bought a new rifle that cost X amt, he bought one for X +$25. And on and on.
MAYBE they are the guy like on the commercial that is over 40 and suffering from LOW T???
Sometimes you just have to let what they say go in one ear and out the other because it ain't worth the hassle to correct / argue.

You don't need Google!!! We have stxranchman!!! Seriously that man knows a lot!!!

As much as y'all hate to admit it, some of us do in fact know everything. Well, I don't know everything. Just most of everything. Now take stxranchman, he knows EVERYTHING. Of course, by the time I get to be his advanced age, I should know everything too. I'll probably find a mountain to sit on and wait for people to climb up and ask me stuff.

He ought to know everything, he conducted the first wildlife survey as the animals left the ark...

If I don't know it... what ever "it" is

Its not worth knowing

Just sayin

And to this day I still continue to learn and will learn something new tomorrow.

That's for sure. Unless you're a true scientist who makes new discoveries, everything you know comes from from either first-hand experience, or from the knowledge and experience of others.

I know a few myself, I find most of them have a total of about 3 days experience on the subject that there talking about and they got their info from someone who has less than that. I finally tell them It Ain`t wrong to be Dum its wrong to stay Dumb.

i'm more of an actor, whin it comes ta hunting & shooting. act like i know what i'm talking about

I have forgot more than you'll ever know!

i'm just a tracker, your the pro

This!!!

My motto, If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS.

I have seen mature bucks with their antlers in late April. If u have some doe fawns that come in late, the mature bucks will keep their antlers well into april in some parts of the state. This was between del rio and Sonora. I saw fresh scrapes in late march that year too. So, unless I'm lying, or unless deer near Bedias never have late fawns... Ur friend just might HAVE seen mature bucks with their antlers in late April. On my ranch I'n Zavala co. I always see a few mature bucks with their antlers in mid April.
