How many

[buckmaster31]

How many of you guys have a "hunting buddy" who if they haven't killed more than you when you kill a deer gets mad or jealous last night I dropped by my dads after I killed my 8 pointer and he's supposed to be my best hunting buddy and he came out to truck and was like yea that's nice and walked back In and then didn't say a word to me for like 30 mins....just wondering if this is a Norman thing or not it happens every year lol

I get fired up for them if not more fired up than they are!! I like to see my buddies have success !

Might not have been the deer, could have had something else bothering him and he let it show.

Mine is my dad.

We both get fired up, and excited over every kill No matter what.

I've killed my biggest buck outta his stand while he was at work :mrgreen:

His killed bucks outta my stands.

Never been any jealously. His happy when I kill, I'm happy when he kills.

I don't understand why any hunter gets jealous of someone's kill, I really wouldn't understand why your partner would get jealous! If my partner(dad) kills I feel like I accomplished something as well. Since I helped pick the spot,put up stand, set up cams, clear shooting lanes, Mark trails, cut trails, drag deer out, etc.....

Excellent observation. The human psych is something to not take lightly.

No it's this same thing every year if I kill some before he does I am always excited for him on every deer he kills and all my buddies but if I get one or two before him he's not happy at all and heaven forbid if I killed one outta his stand lol I say he would disown me as his child lol I just think u should be happy for your buddies and family not jealous or mad

I did have one for many years like that,
He didn't start out that way, but it got to where everything I killed wasn't that Great cause I used
a gun instead of a bow, or a compound instead of a recurve. Then it never was as big as he had killed, but I never saw those deer either,
in the end he would say he had passed that buck up at 7 yards with his longbow.....

We even owned land together at one time, finally I split everything up, no longer hunt together
nor do I even bring hunting up or tell him what I see or kill....

know folks like that, I don't hunt with them though. My son is my hunting buddy and I could never imagine myself being mad at any of his hunting successes.

I have a "buddy" like that.. Whether its deer, ducks, turkey you name it he gets jealous.. If I kill a deer its bc I have private land to hunt and he doesn't.. If its ducks its bc I'm lucky enough to have a job where I can hunt every morning all season and he cant(which ill admit is very nice).. And if its a turkey he just gets plain upset haha.. Its never anything that I did to help myself be successful its always just good luck.. Basically he's just one of those people that think the world is out to get him so when something good happens for somebody else he cant stand it, and as being the case for most folks like that he brings on most of his "bad luck" bc of his bad decisions, but of course he cant see that part of it..

I have noticed it is hard to hunt with some people that are focused on themselves and the hunting is all about them and their goals opposed to helping the property and aligning objectives for the future hunts. To an extent you have to have your own stands and what not but its always nice to have collective/shared goals and objectives. In the context of aligned hunting priorities it's great when your buddy knocks a big boy down or gets a great kill/story. If the hunter is selfish and self consumed, it's hard to be happy for them.

Not saying that is your situation. I would expect your dad of all people to be pumped for you no matter what!

Exactly!

 

[buckmaster31]

No I am very excited for my dad when he kills one and if he's not seeing deer I try to help him fig out why and everything I don't make anything about me but I hang n hunt my own stands and try n help him with his locations and I gut drag all his deer and hang all his stands for him lol he's the same way n turkey season as well idk it's just frustrating bc when he kills no matter time of day I come out of my stand to help him track and stuff just be nice for him to be pumped ya know

I love to hear when friends kill something, don't think I have any buddies who get mad when I kill something unless they're hiding it

I know a preacher who has killed several 150'' to 170" deer. If he hasn't killed one yet and you bring your 130" deer by then you best believe he'll be jealous and will say everything besides congrats.

I have a guy that hunts some of the same properties I hunt and have tried to befriend him. I started sending him pics of some of my and my buddies kills. He would hardly respond and when he would it was just when and where. Later I talked to the property owner and he said that the other guy took it as me bragging when I would send pics. Hard to deal with a person like that.

my brother is my hunting buddy no matter what is killed we congratulate each other we love to hunt he is a great hunter last year his muzzle loader froze on a monster buck he told me to try to come close to where he was so I could shoot him but no luck did not see him now that is a hunting buddy

My "hunting Buddy" has always allowed me to hunt his land, when he finds new property he puts my stand in excellent spots, he made me framed photos of my best kills, he has photos of me under the glass on his desk at work right along side his family and I am included in every new spot. I was handed the keys to the family farm this week and I am the only hunter on all 400 wonderful acres. A solid hunting partner and friend is hard to find. He got his keys today.

It's like this. I'll put you in my best stand and be jumping up and down if you kill a state record out of it. Seriously. If you don't show me the same appreciation I'll find a different hunting partner. Jealousy comes with hunting. Just not hunting with me. Had a lot of partners and close friends come and go. I despise invite return as much as I hate Jealousy. When you haul somebody to Iowa and up and down the woods and never get an invite to go with them only a call when they ain't seeing any. Can't stand those either.

I get mad when my friends go hunting and don't tell me the hunting story. I love hearing about my friends hunts and their kills. Even a hunt where they don't see much is interesting to me. Its about the chase, the stalk, the detective work..... that is the fun for me. Success for a friend is often sweeter than success for me. Half the time I hunt with a friend, what they saw is equally or more interesting than my hunt....
