When I was in college, I returned home for Christmas break and was allowed to hunt with a dog hunting club for a reduced fee since I was only around for 4 weeks. In running drives, the head honchos in the club would organize the drive and send standers to certain areas. On one particular drive I had been on twice, I noticed dogs went in a different way from all the standers towards another part of the club. One Saturday, I started out the day stalk hunting. When they came in to drive the place, I joined up with them for a couple of drives... but when they headed over to drive that other area, I told them to go on without me and I found a spot where I thought those dogs always ran through. Bottom line is that the dogs did exactly the same thing again and I killed a 6-7 YO six point about a quarter mile in front of them. I about had a nasty altercation with the club president that day and was fortunate to exit the property without someone getting hurt - all because I decided to back stand that drive in a location no closer than a 1/2 mile to any person on that drive.

As a club president, one time I had to be the one to break the news to a guy that we needed to part ways with. Had he stayed in the club, we would have reached a point that we would have had to remove him from the membership. However, we decided to be proactive and part ways before it came to that.
