Your days away from your hunting trip and the newest member say's "This year I want to hunt with you" Ok, but I like to hunt alone, in fact we all go our seperate ways, have our secret haunts and it works well. Deer and good bucks all over, so everyone thinks their spot is the best. Now throw in a 3rd year tag along guy, who should really be on his own. Well tonight he calls and tells me he ain't willing or wanting to hunt all alone and he wants me to take him or tag with me. First thought is don't come, but that's just not nice. I mentioned I had no problem setting him in some spots, even walking him in the dark and coming to get him later. But he wants to physically be with me. I said I would devote the first day or so to helping him find, notice and locate spots, deer, sign, etc but in no way was I spending the entire week with a tag along. He states he is scared of getting lost, I said buy a compass or better yet GPS. Doesn't have the money and can't really read a compass well. Again the thought of don't come are ringing in my head, but I can't say it.

So I am in a pickle. What do I do? I think it is unfair, unreasonable and silly to hunt the whole week with a shadow, twice the noise, scent, etc. I took the week off to hunt my trophy, this is basically my hunting season, yes I am selfish to a point. I also don't want to be a dick.

Thoughts?
