Manuel Bright+FollowMy archery hunt turned into a rattlesnake showdown đź« Still can't believe what happened on opening day last season. I'm settled against a tree when I hear something moving through the leaves. Figured it was an armadillo until two massive timber rattlers came "dancing" right past my boots. I stood up too fast - one stopped and coiled. Panic shot three arrows into the dirt next to it, then had to walk home empty-handed while it sat there guarding my gear. Came back after dark with a shotgun and flashlight. Got both snakes since they're overpopulated here and dangerous for my kids and cattle. Plus, rattlesnake actually tastes pretty good. Never had an encounter mess up a hunt quite like that before. Anyone else have wildlife encounters that completely derailed their hunting plans? #Hunting #ArcheryHunting #RattlesnakeEncounter #Outdoors 5611Share
Manuel Bright+FollowMy hunting buddy switched to crossbow to avoid practice...This guy straight up told me he got a crossbow so he "wouldn't have to practice anymore." Then bragged about shooting a buck 20 minutes after legal light because his scope let him see fine. Bad shot, lucky recovery, used it as his work screensaver like some trophy. Look, I'm not anti-crossbow at all. But lazy hunters exist with every weapon—compound guys who can't hit at 20 yards, rifle hunters wounding deer at 100 with their fancy scopes. The crossbow didn't make him lazy, he was already lazy. Just gave him more range to be dangerous with. What bothers you more—the weapon choice or the ethics behind it? #Hunting #LazyHunters #CrossbowHunting #HuntingEthics #ArcheryHunting54103Share
