Ran into a few issues during my hunt this year..... if your a hunter posting a sign in a gate going to a tank saying sitting tank thinking your going to keep everybody from hunting around you on public think again.... especially when Your not even on the tank and show up after the fact... real horse sh** there. But here is my big question to other hunters..... An older gentlemen was camped next to us and asked us if we would help him track a bull he shot from a tank and we definitely said yes we will go help. We spent 5 hours tracking this bull that was definitely a kill shot, huge blood trail followed it for 300-400 yards and found where he last bedded, but he packed himself up and when he left his bed there was no trail to follow..... lost him...... next night he rolls over to our camp and asks if we can help him track another bull he shot from the same tank..... we say we are going to hunt the morning and then we will come back and head in to help him after our morning hunt. He had this one on camera it looked like a good shot and we tracked blood for 400-500 yards before it tapered out.... again I firmly believe it’s a kill shot... I asked to see his broadheads, told him I’ve never shot grim reapers but looking at the style they were garbage..... both of these bulls were 350+ bulls in a prime unit and he had the nerve to tell me we needed to hurry and leave so he could sit that tank for the remainder of the afternoon..... I gave him a broadhead and said a few choice words.... and went on my afternoon hunt. He comes to camp again that night and he arrowed yet another bull..... Asked us to go help clean it and get it out.... We went and helped him pack it out but I was pretty heated the entire time because this guy legitimately killed 3 bulls...... good bulls.... when do you draw the line and say I’m done? I personally believe crap does happen especially with archery. But I would have hung it up after wounding 2 bulls..... This is a primo unit and this guy showed no remorse.... I’m just curious on others thoughts.
