I know how you feel. I have a hunting buddy that is just CLUELESS when it comes to this sort of thing. (He's clueless about quite a few other things in regard to tact ) We grew up together so I put up with it. We were hunting some new property my uncle leased and had chosen our respective areas and had been hunting them for about 3 days. He was on a spot he liked and I had a nice fjord of a creek with hardwoods that I was hunting. One morning I was trying a different area and he got down from his stand early and decided to do a little more scouting. At lunch he told me he had found a good area with a creek crossing with lots of sign. I told him "I know, that's where I've been hunting." That should have been all that was needed to be said. But no, he thought he would like to hunt that spot. I decided I would be big and not push the issue and hunt a different spot. Then he wanted to hunt it again the next day. He WOUNDED two nice bucks out of that spot. (he's not very good with primative weapons). These days I use the subtlety of a 2x4 because he just doesn't get it. (you know the type, always has to be in the front of the boat fishing new water)
