I'd like to sit down with Valentine around a fire for an evening and see how the conversation goes. Would probably be a good time.

Learned a valuable lesson once upon a time with this. Was in college doing my student teaching and had been catching the heck out of the whitebass in a secluded spot on the river. One of the teachers where I was student teaching asked me to take him and I did so. Went back a couple days later and he was there with 2 other guys and a stringer full of fish. Tried fishing the spot a few more times but someone was always there. Lost a good fishing hole but learned a valuable lesson in life. Now when people ask "where'd you catch those fish at?" I just point to my lip and grin saying "right there in the lip!"

yep. happens often. I have lost some good coyote calling spots from same scenario.

nothing wrong with mentoring other hunters but save your honeyholes for yourself.

I located a spot for deer that I know has big bucks going through it.
When going to it, I put a map marked with the location in an envelope, and sealed it. That way they know where to send the ambulance if I don't make it back, and I don't give the location away.

Good luck getting help when you fall out of the tree stand.

I'm a firm believer that when you put the time and effort in to achieve success, you need to be the one to benefit from the reward. Sharing is an option that can be made later if desired.
(Of course, there may be special people this don't apply to.)

Still hunt. Problem solved.

this is the mentality I have heard from many.
" only idiots hunt alone."
to which I answer, " I don't believe that is true BUT if you are an idiot, I would not recommend YOU hunt alone."

kidoggy

The lesson learned here, was don't trust coworkers.
