I don't have a hunting buddy I can count on either. I do almost everything solo.... Set my stands, cut my shooting lanes, all myscoutingetc. But I do get a lot of phone calls once the season nears

. My policy the past couple years has been no help from them.... No hunt. Bunch of freeloaders...... I can't understand how any hunter would rather sit at home watching TV or whateverthan get out there in the woods????
The only person who doesn't help me in the pre / post season who I let hunt with me anyhow is my brother, he is real busy in the spring / summer traveling all over the place fishing bass circuits.
Thinking back this year I have helped put up 3 other guys stands and cut shooting lanes on two setups and have not had any help again this year...... It's not that I need help, it just irritates me when I get the phone calls that I know are coming once the season opens.

If only there was someone a half hour away, who would be available to help you 24/7/365..someone who's interest in deer extends beyond the month and a half prior to the gun opener...someone who shared the desire to only harvest mature deer when they are available..someone who could shut the hell up, about a killer spot in the middle of suberbia....but WHO,...WHO could you find??
