Default RE: My eyes were opened.....Am I selfish?

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

Matt:

I think that's awfully generous of you. In fact...it's more generous than I am....but I'v emade no bones about what I will and will not allow my guests to take. if you know the rules going in.......why not abide by them happily or happily decline. No problems.

I can tell you with 100% sincerity.....that I would absolutely shoot ONLY does if someone asked me to.....and I'd give them snapshots of the bucks on the property I saw for their scouting purposes.

No problem, whatsoever.
And I also see your point of view as well. If you were to invite me to shoot does and let me know up front that all bucks were off limits I wouldn't be offended. If I can get Rob upto my placewhen he still has a buck tagleft (unlikely [8D]), I hope he shoots a slammer.

I guess the reason I have this view point is because many times I have been fortunate enough to shoot the biggest buck off of others property in years past, and I really appreciated the opportunity to do so. I have only had exclusive access to any single piece of property for about 5 years now and before that my hunting was all done on patches people were nice enough to let me on.

I am probably a bit more particular than you as well about handing out invitations...................which could be selfish from others perspective as well.
