RE: My "buddies" destroyed the hunt....
I've had my share of those kind of "friends", that's why I play it closer to the vest than I did years back. I used to have this little honey hole where I took three bucks hunting out of the same tree over the course of two years. By the third year, one of my "friends" decided to set up a stand about 150 yards away and naturally, he had to pass through my area each and every time he hunted that stand. That was the end of that spot. It was never the same.
