If you both would have missed would he still be mad? probley not because he is jelous that you hit yours and he missed, it shouldn't matter who made the shot it should matter that theres meat in the freezer, if he doesn't care about the meat why is he hunting anaway? if he cared about the meat he probely would have made his shot count! if you hunt with him again go your separate ways from camp and see who comes back with meat, you have my respect for being the bigger person!
Craig shoots at a pig (no pig, no sign, no blood). :hog chewing: Boarhunter drives 3 hours to help Craig track the pig :thumbs up2: They search 20 minutes and give up 
Then Craig wants the first shot after his friend drove three hours rayin : Craig gets the first shot :hog chewing::archer green: misses again :smiley_doh: Now Craig is whinning about the guy who helped him and Boarhunter is questioning himself :lol bashing sign:
Don't beat youself up I have the answer:toast-yellow:
Kiss the ring:mooning:Craig :wavin hello: bye.
A man (Chris) I hunt with at Lake Shasta is always right there. The terrain is steep and rugged. Three times I shot a buck and he helped me drag it out. When we got to camp the party was on and so was a back strap. He got a front shoulder, I always share with my partners. This year he got a small deer. I helped him drag, dress and quarter it. The party was on and I got the other back strap. Later my son shot a a bear, 275 lbs field dressed. He shot it in self-defence. Chris was on the radio with my son before I could respond. He helped us drag that bear over hill and dale for over a mile while celebrating the kill the whole way. Chris got a shoulder. He always says I don't have to do it and tries to refuse but...
:wavin hello: Boarhunter any time you need a partner PM me. I have a small motor home my own equipment and need a partner for pig hunting, I don't know where to start on public land.
Breakfast and dinner are on me. :stir pot:
I can also pitch a great camp party:toast-yellow:

common practice....whoever sees the animal first gets to make the game plan.....simple.
You did him a favor to come up and help track his pig, You also mentioned he said you could hunt while you were looking for his "pig he had shot". It sounds like you had every intention helping him track the wounded animal, hence you left the riffles in the truck. You drove up 3 hours to help out, which is more than he did for you the weekend before. Sounds like you gave your hunting partner every chance possible to bag a pig. A little range time can go a long way.
You can pick your friends and hunting partners, but you cant pick your family! Choose wisely and hunt hard.

It sounds like you should be hunting with Jim, giving up an opportunity to both you and Whiny Craig. So did Craig have 2, I repeat two pig tags? If not, what was he going to do with the second pig if he didn't have a tag for it? If he only had one tag, he should have spent much more time trying to find the one he thought he shot. I take that back, if he only had one tag, he never should have gone after the other pigs; he should have continued to look for the one he thought was shot. Furthermore, if he did have 2 tags, and thought he had shot one, that shot pig should have been his priority, not going after another heard. Either way, what he did is at the least unethical, and I wouldn't hunt with him because of that alone. Simply put, he, and no one else, had the obligation to continue to look for the 1st animal.
So what would Craig prefer, all of you going home empty handed? Or did he expect to have you guide him until he killed one? From the sounds of things, it sounds like you could spend a lifetime guiding him and he still wouldn't take one. Have you suggested he make an appointment with an optometrist?
Sorry I just couldn't help myself, if the facts are correct, this guy deserves some E-bashing. As was previously stated, the guy should have been happy for you; after all, you spent 3 hours on the road to help him find his pig, and no guarantee of even having an opportunity to hunt.
Lastly, congratulations on the pig! Despite being a gentlemen and yielding a few shots, moving into position, and re-moving into position, this bag of pus complains and threatens to never hunt with you again. Frankly I'd hold him to his word. Again, congratulations on a pig well deserved!

FarmerDoug is right. When I hunt (not necessarily for my buddies) I feel like even if I didn't shoot, I still did the leg work and made it happen. I could understand frustration though. I definitely know people that aren't on the same page as me. People that wine that the terrain isn't right, or they like more trees, or there just isn't anything here so lets go. AHHHGG... I think I will start solo hunting from now on. I really like the journey, I haven't even made a kill yet and I still love it. I have a bad neck now but used to surf a lot and nothings better than a great solo session. It's that much more satisfying that YOU did it. No one else.
I've been in a similar position as Craig before. My buddy got me into hunting. I remember one time we drove about 3 hours to hunt up around Parkfield. We only saw 1 pig and he had the shot so he took it. I didn't complain. He gave bout 20 lbs of the meat.
Next time we hunted closer to home (30 min) and he left his rifle at home. We saw some, but I didn't have a clear shot unless I wanted to widen the poop chute. I didn't complain.
Next time we planned on staying the night at the spot close to home. When we were doing our evening scout we saw 3 pigs. We moved into position, waited 3-5 minutes for 2 of them to turn broadside, I counted to 3, he let me shoot first and he shot a split second later and we both came home with pork.
Craig needs to stop complaining. He had a shot and missed. He's probably blaming it on his equipment, ammo, angle of shot, you, blah blah. His fault end of story. Get another partner cause this guy's obviously not your friend.

I have done the one, two , three shoot thing before, but it never seems to work out in my favor. I took a noob along with several other experienced hunters to a field where the pigs were, and sure enough they were right there where we were told they would be. I figured this would be easy at 70yards, we all sat down, I picked out the yorkshire looking one on the left and the noob was going to take the other yorkshire one on the right, every one else had black or brown in their sights. Easy enough, I say 1,2,3, then the shooting starts, I pop my pig and it goes down, up jumps noobie and he runs up to my pig claiming he shot it.
Everyone got one that day but me, and noob has never been invited back since...
Sounds like your buddy Craig needs to find a new hobby...

@Easy, I can't tell you how many times I've been in those shoes. When I was younger, it bothered me a bit; but I've learned to smile, congratulate them, and actually mean it.
About 7 or so years ago, I took a friend (he was a bit older than I) deer hunting to a small piece of private property I had permission to hunt. But it wasn't that simple. I scouted the heck out of it, found two bucks that consistently bedded in one particular area, and occasionally a monster bedded there. About a month before the season, I hand cut a trail of at least a mile to a hill just above the bedding area. A week before the season opener, I hand raked the trail, so we could walk it in complete silence, and did it again the day prior to season opening. To make a long story short, were just yards away from the end of the trail, and I tell my friend to take the caps off his scope, take the safety off, and be ready to shoot. He tells me he's ready, and we proceed to the end, and sure enough there are 2 nice bucks bedded just below us. He takes the one on the left, his side, and I take the one on my side, the right. I tell him to shoot when he is ready. about 5 minutes later (seriously 5 minutes), I pull my scope away from my face to see what is taking him so long. I see him flip up a scope cap and I pull my rifle up again. Anyway, his deer is down, and mine is long gone. Despite all the scouting and hard work I did, I was ecstatic for him. But naturally being a good guy, he felt bad for me. But as long as I'm breathing, there are more opportunities. Getting a nice animal is great, but as I'm sure you know, it's not all about the killing; but rather the experience. And I for one, love seeing the look of accomplishment on a hunters face, even if it was I who did the killing and they take credit (as long as there in y party, that is). I also use to duck hunt with a guy that consistently took credit for my shots, at times when he didn't even pull the trigger. It was rather amusing and annoying at the same time. But he was such a bad shot, I just couldn't bring myself to ever say anything to him.
But the immaturity of Craig, would make me hold him to his word of not ever hunting with me again.

Get another partner ...
What kind of buddy is that? Your friend should have been thrilled that you had a shot. I have a buddy that I hunt with whenever possible. I would gladly give him any of my shots. Your "buddy" needs to get a new perpective on what hunting partner means and if I were you, I would be getting a new hunting buddy.

First off a 45 what type of 45 to hunt hogs did he use 45 long colt ?
He needs to practice with his rifle like shoot off his shoulder at 100 yards and off shooting sticks what ever he needs to practice.
Tell craig to come on here and defend him self I don't want to judge the guy but right now it looks bad on his part.

Hand that crybaby some TP and tell him to wipe his own arse...whatta punk he is. Get a better hunting partner...lots of em around. I never hunt with Democrats for exactly this reason.
