He is a good friend of mine who happenens to not share my hunting ethics. He puts in for his wife that doesn't hunt for an extra possible tag. Every year it's like this. I don't think it's wise to camp with them. It sucks though when you have a mature bull down or lead cow and your looking at this 500-700 lb animal laying there and your 2 miles from the truck. I've done it, it's back breaking but that's hunting! You will never forget it. I was torn due to the packing out part. It would sure be nice!

"My buddy from work"
Unless this guy is your best friend who you know will never tell another sole about your spot, hunt alone. Otherwise you run the risk of being overrun when you both pull some good animals out and he tells his other "buddy from work" about the spot who tells two people, who tell two people............

Why in the hell would you hunt with criminals that could screw you for years?
Would you go to a bar and look for chicks with a known rapist?

Keep your spot my friend. Just think of all the man hrs, reasources, and $ you've put into finding this area. Don't bring someone else in that doesn't share the same hunting ethics as you. Once you show him. The other guys in camp will be there, and the yr after that. Spots like this are hard to find nowadays.
If he gets butt hurt then he wasnt a real friend anyways. Just trying to ride the coat tails of somebody else. Not worth it man. Good luck with your choice. I WOULDNT DO IT!!!!!!!

***Best post of the entire thread!!! How can a person who cheats and does the stuff you said he does and is involved in be considered any kind of a friend to you?!

I'd have to go with what has been said. If you don't mind your honey hole being overrun with people in a couple of years, share it. If you want to reserve it, keep it to yourself. Its not even that everyone is malicious, they just think they can tell or show just one other person and it won't go further than that. It always goes further than that.

On a better note I got my pics trail pics from my wallow and spring. Yeeeaah, I'm not taking ANYONE. 3 bulls up there. A 6x6 we call Stubs, a 5x5 we call Hook and a 5x5 we call Rampage. When I figure out how to get them from my phone I will put them in my album . Thank you for all the ' honesty' I appreciate it. Sometii you have to hear it.
