Default RE: My dilema, The plot thickens....

Hey Adams. If i didn't know any better I would think it was me and my hunt club sitting at that table with you. I have hunted for 3 years with a group of guys that sound EXACTLY like you describe. They are great guys, fun to hunt with, enjoy filling tags with them BUT.......

where my parents live is full of deer and not far from where I gun hunt with them. It also has a second week of gun whereas the camps location only has 1 week. I could invite them down but I haven't. As far as they know only I can hunt there and bow only.

Filling tags would be easy but all the things you mentioned would be an issue. There is another side to shooting does and small bucks as well. What if you had a monster on your property that you were hunting. You let them come in for a day and do a push and BAM, your big boy goes down to one of them. There is a big 8 point that lives at my parents and this year I hunted him for the first time with a bow. I would be ticked if the boys came up to fill some tags and somebody ended up shooting him.

The thing is if they asked and I said I wanted to leave it to bow only they wouldn't care. There good guys who want everyone to enjoy themselves first and foremost.

Leave your land alone. You own it, you enjoy it! I would bet everyone in the surrounding area will benefit to some degree from your QDM efforts even if not hunting directly on your land.
