Here's my situation this year.


Last year I took a guy and his 12 year old son deer hunting. The guy wanted to see his boy get a deer but had only ever taken a few deer himself.

I took them to the spotI hunted the first day with my daughter.
The boy ended up getting a buck and a doe. The boy was tickled and I was happy for him. They said they never saw so many deer. 35 deer and 5 were bucks.

Now this year, they already got their doe tags for this area, assuming they were going with me. They called to ask where I was sending and I told them I was planning on getting my doe in the early muzzle loader season ( that starts tomorrow). I tried to give the hint I wanted to hunt myself. A few days later, the boy was saying he couldn't wait for muzzle loader season.

The phone has been ringing off the hook the last few days. They are calling to see if I will take them, with me, tomorrow. I won't answer it.

I don't want to be rude. They are nice people but I feel they should be happy the boy got his first few deer and look for their own places to hunt, not rely on me to take them. I have a feeling they will show up at the farm I hunt, tomorrow.
