How do you deal with guest hunting with you?

[TX HOG]

i tell em "if you're scared you can walk scooby".

[chainrated]

I try to make it clear about guns before we ever show up to hunt but of course we have had instances where they invite their brother or friend or somebody and they show up with AK's and pistols hangin off of them everywhere. When that happens I ask them where their dogs are? 

[levibarcus]

I have carried when I'm by myself in case of a situation that I can't handle by myself, but most of the time I don't. Other than those of us who may carry to protect our dogs in an emergency, most people who want to tag along and bring a gun are scared. I don't know about ya'll, but the last thing I want is a scared guy shooting, if he's scared he's gonna shoot at anything that moves and not think about what he's doing. If you're that afraid, maybe hog dogging isn't for you. JMO

I like to carry a gun but it is more for two legged varmints than four.

I wasn't going to say that. I read on here about the dogs being shot while they stood at the fence! Plus I have run into some crazies in the woods and even been shot at. I do not get real excited much but if you shoot at me, you better kill me with the first shot!

If you hear me shoot come running because there is a real problem! I carry a 44 because it has knock down, accuracy, and it is real loud so everybody hears it!

But to be honest, most of the time I leave it at home. I have never carried it hog hunting. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN A GUEST! I was taught manners as a young boy. If you don't have manners then learn some. They go a long way.

I dont allow guest to carry.  i ALWAYS carry my glock 40.  I carry it for work and the guys i hunt with know im used too shooting under stress and when it came down to it WE ALL decided I should be the one with a gun just in case all hell broke loose (two or four legged)

Bold statement about being such a good shot.    I sometimes carry. I don't hunt with people that accidently shoot dogs.

I learned my lesson a long time ago. This guy that I know and he is a hog hunter brought a guest with him. We were hunting on one of my places.

The dogs bayed up and it was a boar, sow, and a bunch of shoats.  Guest has never been before and whips out his pistol and starts blasting. I am down on the ground hiding behind a tree. My dogs hauled it out of there. It seemed like he shot forever but he never hit anything.

We made a rule right then and there--no newbys will carry a gun. If they don't like that then they don't go.

Yeah i know but in south florida in rainy season its good to carry at least one.  Never really had to use it on hogs but reptiles are another story all together..  Ive had to use it under extreme stress and rounds went where they were suppose too, so tried and tested against target practice?  It was agreed upon by all..

[cantexduck]

Wasn't directed towards you.

NOBODY shoots over my dogs but me end of story...I do carry a .357 lever action more accurate than a pistol IMO...n it is only used when in a bind and there are no other options....i carry for the dogs protection not mine most of the time it stays on the transportation. I personally dont want to be in the woods with someone who is scared guest or not, if you scared home.

[M Bennet]

i put up with the same number 2. i carry a 44mag for 8 years only shot it 4 times. but i tell them theres the door and dont let it hit ya were the good lord split ya , these is my show and i play the movie how i wont to

[Tusk Hog]

  Glad to see I'm not the only one feels this way. I always tell them " put as much money on the ground as I do, then you can carry a gun". Sure pisses me off to have to keep informing them of my rules.

[parker]

 someone usually carries  some  kind  of  rifle  with us  .......  we  cut  boars  all the time  so  if  we  bay a  group  we  like  to  pick  out the  barr  for  butcher ..... but  we  use a  rifle .....all the  old  timers  here  carried a  rifle  always ....

It ain't bold. I back it up any time. I love shooting. But the point was that shooting skill does not trump manners. So people should act like a greatful guest and there is no room for egos.

But anytime someone wants to shoot I am game.

I feel a little wager coming on!
What do you shoot?

[lamoon78]

We stick -em also but do carry if it gets nasty and dont have any other option. Id rather have it then get my dogs in some crap they cant handle and just stand there helpless watchin.

Mine is bigger and better than yours.   

Can you hit a snake at 10 yards?  Good enough!!!!

However, my dogs are on the dirt.  Please leave your piece in your truck at the house.  That's how I roll.

I see where this thread is gowing so that being said,

Now i grew up shooting anything and everything i could get my hands on.  I am an active shooter and reloader and self taught gun smith.  I havent been in as much as the Men and Women over seas but have been under stress more than once when gun play was involved..  It is a totally different story when your in a tiny room with someone shootin back at you. so that being said, anybody can take a deep breath and shoot accurately its the dodgeing hot sh1t coming back at you and do it accurately thats the tricky part.

Ok enought hread jacking just thought that may put an end to the "I KNOW HOW GOOD I AM" thing.
