I for one dont hunt with him, he never gets the invite :thumbsup: . But I do know who you are talking about and that reminds me of this moron that we once knew. Many years ago we were camping/fishing one late summer night. This moron had the nerve to say what kinda fish it was that splashed when we heard it. Ex: Splash - thats a bluegill. :withstupid:
How do you handle these?
I was wandering, how you guys handle hunting with "JOHNNY KNOWALL". Maybe "handle" is the wrong word here. Maybe this, What do you guys think about "JOHNNY KNOWALL"
You know the guy in the blind/pit that thinks he knows everything about duck/goose hunting.
issed: The one wearing brand new Columbia from head to toe. The person with all the expensive calls that doesn't know how to blow them. issed: That guy that claims every bird that falls from the sky. issed: The one that tell's those tall tales (aka-lies) about killing 200 greenheads in 45 min. :spam: His landyard is full of bands that were bought off e-bay, but insist he killed them all in one day. :hammering:
If you have ever been a guide or hunting on a refuge were they mix hunters, you know who I'm talking about. If you don't know him, I hope your not him.
Sorry just need to vent alittle. I ran into him today. :toofunny:

I sure am glad I haven't had to hunt with that idiot yet and hopefully I never will!!!
I've hunted with his kind and didn't care to continue,especially when it was learned his wife divorced him for beating her up! issed:

I guess the way I look at it this-who is the guest? Just like if I go to a friends home, some say please take off your boots, another it will not matter, while another will tell you to kick your shodden feet up on the coffee table and set a spell. Basically it is the host that the sets the tone and the guest to follow out of respect. But if the guest is indeed disrespectful, as others have said they will not be invited again-or worse, given the heave ho on the spot if they really push it.
The real problematic point is when the guest does indeed have a lot more experience, and the host is say a novice. Should not the host recognize this and possibly ask the guest his thoughts? Not doing so may be construed by some as being disrespectful to the guest then, would it not? But the guest should be helpful--but not come across as too pushy.
As for the braggart who is just telling tale tales, just laugh at them, internally or even outwardly. Sometimes laughter can go a long ways and smooth things over. But I've seen laughing go over board and it escalates the situation to major hurt feelings and the shouting match that ensues. But again, some are so out of tune-that they believe their own lies, which is another class in itself. This is the one that really nobody likes to have around, as they are an ass. And since I have been know to be straight forward with folks, I have told them where to go and it was not on a trip to a sunny beach either. :laughing:
Basically each situation may call for a different strategy, I guess that is part of life in the learning to recognize and deal appropriately with the situation at hand.
