he was told how to recognise the buck he was allowed to take by it's antlers, age and other distinguishing marks.
I would add that there was another buck in the area, but that one was not to be shot under any circumstances.

The guest would also of had the opportunity to say he was not happy with the arrangement before agreeing to the event and ask for a refund.
I know the original post has been edited, too late imo, to suggest that anything unethical was being practised by Mr Prior is unforgivable, may I respectfully suggest that he probably had a hand in "training" many of the older members of your "club"
I trust you have sent a PM to Mr Prior apologising for your defamitory remarks.

At least Richard Prior was brave enough to admit what he had done and advise against it.

This is taking hero worship a little far. He is not the messiah but a very well respected man who has done a great deal for stalking and deer in general.
I made the comments based on the content of the text rather than the identity of the writer, i have no axe to grind with richard prior.
Im not sure of the "club" thing you refer to is?
