15 Dumb Hunting Mistakes

By Michael Hanback

Oct 1, 2007

Don't Say Too Much

The Mistake: My buddy John told his buddy Pete about a drop-tine buck he'd been hunting for three weeks on a lease the two shared. When John went out of town on a business trip, Pete slid in and killed John's trophy. John and Pete are friends no more.

The Fix: When you find a big buck, keep your mouth shut. You might get the deer—and keep a friend. (Of course, who really wants a friend like Pete anyway? Only a scoundrel will try to snooker a big buck that a friend has scouted. Casual acquaintances or relative strangers are an entirely different matter.)
