The only exception is somebody's young kid or older parent unless it not feasible for them......ie temps, terrrain, room etc. I like kids fishing/hunting and I like Dad stories around the campfire.I'll at least listen to those invites.

Some millennials just don't understand.
I let a friend come take a doe because he legitimately wanted the meat. I tried to instruct him on I.D.ing a mature doe. He shot a 6 month old one hand carry and then didn't understand why I wasn't going to let him come back to shoot another this year...SMH

Pretty nervy.
Pretty open minded, but best I can come up with in the moochers' favor is that we are getting a kind of second-hand interpretation of events. We don't know if the buddy's buddy has done big-time favors for the inviter in another setting -- such as invite him to an exclusive golf outing, or maybe gave him a money-making business lead, or just what the deal is for the guy to get an invite in the first place. We also don't know if the inviter knew ahead of time about the lack of "stuff" by the invitee but said "come on out, man" we have all of that covered.
Yes, I realize all that's a stretch.

During that time would be a good time to discuss a kiddo, which I'm sure most people would have no issue with..
To be a guest who is invited somewhere at anytime, and just bring someone along is totally new to me. That just seems insane and a serious lack of common sense.

I’m not aware of all that information, but I do know my friend knew before hand these guys had no guns. I don’t know what type of relationship my friend has with this friend, but he reluctantly agreed to loan his rifle well before that weekend at his friend’s request.

This was too much...

Yes sir...that's how it usually goes 99% of the time but I have run across two idiots in my life evidently..I was like WTH is this mess? Are you kidding me? Especially duck hunting where public spots are sacred. I just told him we didn't have room for them and I ended up going with my hunting bud who I was supposed to pickup with the original guest. ..[emoji41] We would have been stretching the boats limits with 4 guys, dekes, guns and a dog on open water so technically I wasn't lying but still we could have made it work while taking on some risks. Some might call it a **** move but that duck hunter never brought another guest unannounced again.
The fishing was for sandbass and I had room in my boat so I rolled with it. I did however let that guy know afterwards without the other guy around it wasn’t to happen again if he wanted to continue fishing out of my bass boat... sure he could ask since the guy ended up being OK....but never unannounced.Last edited by Smart; 01-18-2018, 11:05 AM.

Sounds like your friend either needs to grow a set or be ok with the situation he allowed. I don’t get the hate for guest personally. I invite people to hunt on my land. They have to use my gun and I sit with them and tell them what to shoot. I know their level of skill and I know what the potential result might be when they pull the trigger. If they screw up, it’s just as much my fault as theirs. If I want them to cook a meal, I tell them. If I want them to bring a bottle of bourbon, I tell them. If they ask if there’s room for another, I’ll give a straight forward yes or no. They’re welcome to come help at some point but it’s not expected. I can hire help for $15/hr. I don’t need to try to squeeze friends and family for labor.
