I think that Moe's is a case where 'He needed killing' would be a viable defense.
FWIW; Before I hunt with someone, if possible, I like to spend an hour or so with them at a gun range. Gives a good idea if the guy is probably alright or shouldn't be trusted with a BB gun.

I like mesh face masks when it's warm, helps with skeeters & a fleece one when cold.
That's about it, could care less otherwise. It's kinda' about comfort with me.
As far as a safety goes, I'm with the safety on crowd until it's time to pull the trigger. I think it's a personal preference deal, whatever makes one comfortable. I'm down with.
I quit taking newbies out some time ago. Just don't care anymore. The right kinda' guy maybe ?
I almost prefer to be alone anymore. Unless, I get stuck ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Scott, yes, I remember that particular stand you mention. Beside you mercilessly ragging on me about what you called my "hushpuppy" boots. which were standard US Army Desert boots, but anyway. It was to save weight packing for the flight that I decided to bring those boots, and boy, you never let me hear the end of it!
Anyway, (again) yes, I was downhill from you by a gate and along a fence line and I guess you were about 50 yards directly behind me. What was impressed on me was that you said that because of your status as the predator control officer, that it was up to you to take the first shot, a responsibility situation. You said if the animal got away, it was on you, so I was just in a backup role.
The problem was that this coyote came in on a straight line, and in line with you, me and the coyote down the hill. Faced with your rule, I didn't know whether to shit or go blind but I finally turned 180 and looked at you and you encouraged me to shoot the damned coyote. This was a long time in coming though and we could have easily lost the animal if I had not turned around seeking permission.
Anyway, that's how I remember it. You are right, you would have been forced to shoot over my head, if you were going to shoot first. And I understand you feeling it was your responsibility and you didn't want to clean up any mess that I might make. (Thanks, Bro)
Good hunting. El Bee ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Not sure how I may have worded it at the time (quite certain I didn't use the phrase "status as the predator control officer") my point was that since we decided to work a complaint area, then I wanted to be pretty certain if we shot at one we'd kill it. It's not like I don't miss shots because I do but since it was a complaint area it is easier to accept cleaning up my own messes.
In hindsight, would have been better to call areas that were not complaint areas then you could shoot to your heart's content. I also remember it rained hard and we drove half way across the state to get out of it and get some hunting in.

Na, you probably didn't say that, it was just what I got out of it, no big deal. But, what I am quite sure of is you wanted to do the shooting. Your motive might have been different than how I understood.
For sure, I had a good time, Walls Drug, the reptile farm, Black hills and Crazyhorse Monument. Also, it was the first time I had ever seen Bison herds, and Prairie Chickens. I'd never seen a 7 lane bowling alley, either.
Lucky that I stopped you from stealing some guys' luggage at the airport, thinking it was mine....should have seen the look on your face!
Good hunting. El Bee
