Turned out he was a 45 year old first time hunter and he had no idea where to set up to wait for a Deer. He had seen one cross right there and thought he could sit and wait till it came back. It never once occured to him that there might be a house and yard 100 yards in front of him.

So I invited him to go for a drive with me. I showed him some good Deer trails, discribed how I would set up a ground blind, got him permission on some land.
He even had a cup of coffee with the boss and I.

He got a Deer that fall, and he came back for several falls. He became one of the family for many of the neighbers. I still get Christmas cards from his widow.

Some times people are just doing the best they know how.
Maybe get to know them instead of judging them.
You might make a life long friend.
This is good stuff
