Jan 1st I was guiding my brother into a big buck when just before he was to get within 100 yards, someone started varmit calling. The deer didn't like that too much so they took off. My brother followed the buck for a couple of miles then radioed to me to come pick him up.
On our way back to our initial glassing point we saw a couple of trucks on the road up ahead of us, with their doors open, parked in the middle of the road while the occupants were out running around firing there shotguns at "quail". I wouldn't be so upset because they can hunt quail as much as I can hunt deer but everyone knows theres not much quail in the area.
To top it off, as we pulled up and waited for them to move their trucks, one guy asks us, "....Any luck?" We asked who was varmit calling and he said that it was them. After informing them that they screwed us up on that stalk they had the nerve to say, "....Well, where did the buck go cause we brought our bows too in case we see any deer?"
This guy had his kid with him too. Great way to teach him the ropes. Not only can you hunt quail, but when you're bored you can varmit call and THEN if nothing comes in MAYBE there will be some deer around to chase. Maybe next time......
