Am I An Idiot?
 
No need to answer. I already know.
So I tell a neighbor who also turkey hunts about this great new spot I got permission to hunt. Lots of birds, no other hunters. So what does he do? He goes to the landowner and gets permission for himself and his buddies.[:@]
I know. I should have kept my mouth shut.
Do I tell him he's an ***hole and that I wouldn't have done the same thing to him, or should I just kick myself in the *ss the rest of the season and live with my dumb mistake.
Would you do what he did if someone told you about a new spot? Extremely rude in my opinion.

Thats a kick below the belt there. Id learn from my mistakes but still confront the guy, thats just wrong.[:@]

Idiot for giving away exact locations? yes!:D[8D]

I understand how you would naturally trust your neighbor though.

Yes.... Honey holes of fishing or hunting is the sort of thing you should only pass down to your children or something.:(

Go back to the landowner and try to buy the hunting rights to the place. $$$$ talks.

The only people I tell about places like that are folks who will share the same sort of information with me.... and those same folks are people who I wouldn't mind sharing a hunt with anyway.... that limits it to my fiancee, my best friend of almost 20 years, and my father. Hell all four of us could hunt the same 200 acres and still enjoy it since we all enjoy each others company.

My rule of thumb.... unless you like company... follow the two laws of the Mafia: Never rat on your friends, and keep your damn mouth shut!

That reminded me of a quote I read. " I don't trust anybody but you and me, and I have my doubts about you."

Unless you wouldn't mind hunting or fishing with them ALL of the time then keep it to yourself.

Ever time I heard a bird Gobble I would be all over it....LoL He's not your friend he's not even a Good Neighbor. I would mess him up evertime I could and when he says something then I would tell him are his buddies what they did to you.

You just don't do what this JOKER did. Now if he asked and you said No, I don' mind go get permission. I'll be Hunting on this Ridge or in this field. Then to make matters worse he invites his friends?

What have you done to this guy????.......LoL

Go tell the guy what an A$$ he is, then slowly poison his dog.Scatter a pound ofturnip greens seed in his frontyard and watch them grow all summer. Let the air out of all4 tires while he's out hunting. Blow a loud coyote howler while he's trying to work a bird on this property.

But next year send he to a real nice mosquito swamp....

Never give away sweet spots and locations to someone else. You can always use this to your advantage for the next year and point the guy in a totally different direction.
