RE: Putting your friend on a deer..
I can tell you this.....it's:
1. A lot of pressure.....really.
2. An absolute BLAST to see/be there when a friend kills a deer you put him on.
My feelings on this have chnged a lot over the last two years. At first....I looked at this ALL wrong. I mean ALLLllll wrong. I still remember a thread where BigJ kinda set me straight....and he was right.
Now....hosting my friends here (and I've had 4 HNI'ers hunting here in the last 2 years.....with 3 of them scoring!) is the highlight(s) of my season. I'll add people to the list next year (if not this year).
