I agree, and I've told some whoppers myself. However I think most guys are just plain folks, perhaps embarrassed by their lack of skills in the woods.
As you know, I work a lot at a sporting goods store. Now, you would think that if there was a place for pros, a store like that would be a magnet.
We have a never-ending supply of guys who can't clean a rifle, put scopes on backwards, can't re-wind line on a reel, cannot sharpen, need assistance buying WigWam socks, don't know the caliber of their rifles, cannot re-assemble a firearm once it's apart or do simple repairs on their archery equipment.
A biker buddy of mine that works at our local Ford dealership reports a similar story with guys who buy big F-250's and F-350's.
You teach them. You try and make them better hunters.
BTW, I don't like to field dress deer. I'm getting sqeamish.
