how close is too close??
I have several friends that camp pretty close to me. We are on a 34,000 acre lease so there is plenty of room to hunt. Anyway several times in the past if I mention where I am hunting they go in and hang stands. For example I had a spot for my kids on the youth hunt that started Friday and I told them where we would be. Thursday night they stopped to let me know they hung a stand there too. When they figured out I was upset they said they were hunting a different set of deer 300 yards from me. I told them I was hunting a point with 2 trails up it and they cut one off plus if I have to move for a closer shot I can't. I took my stand down. Should I tell them to hunt elsewhere when they do this or am I the one being an ass?? They have done this 6-8 times in the past 3 years. I feel like I am doing all the scouting for them!!
