If you want the real kiss of death just have a magazine do an article about your area! This happened to me once. Now it happened again with an area that I fish. I will get to see the effects of that one this year. Canuck33 hit the nail right on the head. Most guys probably have great spots but just don't know how to hunt so they think your spot is something special. A good hunter is going to be successful whereever he goes. We prove it all the time. many of us are pressured out of an area and relocate and shoot big bucks elsewhere.
