Am I wrong for this
 

I brought my father in law to the lease with us for thanksgiving and I told him Ten times that he could shoot a doe or a buck 8 points or better. Well this morning he shot a 3 point and I got pissed off about it and told him he had to pay the 250 fine and now I'm on probation for a year. Just pisses me off. Well now the wife is pissed at me because I told him something. Going back to the stand screw a turkey.

My grandpa kicked one of his best friends off of a lease one yr opening week over same situation no refund no second chance...... rules are rules, he's lucky it don't cause a more serious situation

Just take me and I will shoot all the does.. I'm a doe slayer ...

No, I'd do the same

I'm a little jealous I don't have a story like that. I'd love to see the looks on both of your faces, two totally opposite emotions - "Check it, I gots me a buck on Turkey Day Son in Law!" "You MoFo! Cancel dinner, and Christmas!!"

Classic...

Not wrong at all . Lucky you didn't get the boot from the club. I say FIL needs to pay up and wife needs to shut up.

Ha! She make da chedda and has da law license!

She also will say NO to you know what until you say you sorry whether you wrong or not.

If he knowingly broke the rules, he should pay the fine.

Hand her the bill for it! I'd been all over someone, regardless of relation, for this! In my mind, its a blatant disregard for your and club rules.

if he has ANY hunting experience at all, this is on his tab........

Our club only allows payed guest to shoot spikes or hogs. They will kick you off in a heart beat for one of your guest violating the rules. Seem fair he pay the fine. Its just a shame you are on egg shells for a year.

Just pay the fine comes from the same account. It removes family tension. Then next time you know who not to invite.

No, you are not wrong!

He needs to take responsibility for his actions, accident or not.

Not wrong at all.....rules are rules. Our lease has similar rules and if you break them you pay a fine,plain and simple.

He paid the fine wife is still mad. He was on the list to get in if they have an opening. He can no longer get in.

I'd be pissed too because he broke the rules. But I surely don't understand the rule. Does the club prefer you shoot 1.5-2.5 year old 8 points rather that 3,4,5 points?

Pretty simple. If it has less than 8 points, don't shoot it. :smokin:

I'd be pissed also but if it was a old deer then it needed to be taken out anyway, but bottom line, rules are rules and he shouldn't have broken them. I would have made him pay also.

So why did he shoot something he wasn't sposed to? What did he have to say for himself? I'd have him talk to his daughter and explain that what he did was wrong and that he has to take responsibility. And tell her to just get unmad!
