How about the stories that we hear about never telling anyone what you see or about a good buck and so on out of fear that your spot will turn into grand central station the next day..........I get that (to a point) but I wonder how much of that is really just a selfish desire to keep something for yourself and not wanting anyone else to have similar success.
I know exactly what he's talking about. If I were hunting in a club with people I didn't know well and I spotted the buck of a lifetime just out of range, I'd think twice about goingback to campthat evening and telling them what I saw. There are people out there who would reposition themselves to get a shot at that deer. Yes, I would say that's being selfish, but I think it's a healthy level of selfishness.
