Expensive Lessons "Rookies"

I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel. That's why I try to hunt with people with more experience than me. I had a boy ruin a good bay several times and swore I'd never bring him hawg huntin again but he asked me to bring him duck huntin'. He's got a duck dog, duck boat, expensive shotgun and talked like he knew everything about it so I figured I wouldn't have to babysit him on this hunt. I was using 3" magnum shells and I can reach out there and get 'em pretty good but he was shooting way before they were in range and scaring them off before I could get a shot. That ticked me off pretty good but to make it worse, after the shooting was over I go to pick up all the shells and he is shooting short brass #8 shot. I wanted to beat him to death. I had several extra boxes of shells he could have shot. I asked him why he did that and he said cause they were the cheapest ones at wal-mart. OH! and on top of that I brought him squirrel hunting a while back and dropped him off on the east side of our property and I started on the west side. I told him we would meet in the middle and to just take his time. Before I made it 100 yards he had already walked all the way across the property (about 800 yards) with no squirrels. I had 5 and was just sitting in one spot. He said he saw one but when he ran over to where it was it had disapeared! That's why I like my dogs so much. They've got way more common sense.
