Who do you hunt with?

I started hunted back in 2015 (I know I got a late start) and I've been by myself for all of it except 4 months. I hunted with a good buddy while living in Tennessee and learned a lot from him. Now im back in Texas and back on my own. There are times I wish I had a buddy to pick my brain on spots or whose brain I could pick but sometimes I like not having to worry about potentially pissing someone off because they think I stole "their spot." I personally will guide people in a general direction whether it be a WMA or a terrain feature they should look for on a map in an area. I enjoy helping people as much as I can and if I do get burned, than so be it. I have a clear conscious and will move on to somewhere else. Plus I feel like it might give me some good karma and lord knows I could use plenty of that. now Im not gonna give people an 8 digit grid and tell them to go here at this time, but I will lend a helping hand. Its the least I can do because Ive had so few actually lend me a hand starting out so I know what it is like. I apologize if this seems like im rambling ha. Guess what Im trying to say is, if I see someone struggling I'll help them, help themselves. Give them a little guidance and let them take it from there. Plus I know so little I feel like so if they're getting help me from...I feel sorry for the poor sucker LOL

I hunt alone with the exception of my wife or children. Most guys I know "hunt" to drink beer, blaring music and hang around a fire until a drunken stupper in their camo. 5 AM rolls around and they are hungover and wont get up. They may put in an evening hunt only to hurry back to camp to drink some more. They want a trophy but don't want to put in the work. There is also the added strings of who sets the agenda and so forth. I go alone and am much happier that way. I set my own schedule and do what I think is right. Also don't want to be waiting around for someone who is always late. I lease my land exclusively now and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm done with the deer camp social clubs.

This guy took it upon himself to access a stamd he wasnt shown but knew the location of via sharing a pin on google maps. My other friends had the same info . I always let friends know where im at for safety reasons. Some people are just users though.

I keep telling people about my spot but I haven't seen anyone there yet, hoping to meet some TBH'ers there one day. Best crappie and duck hole I have found and always see good deer on the walk in. 36.644943, 100.081284 are the coordinates

Their is definitely some good people out there, I just feel like they keep more to themselves nowadays because theyve been burned too many times. I hope you dont get burned again and I hope you have great luck this year

Originally posted by sbushee View PostNo good deed goes unpunished. You should consider buying or leasing. Avoid most of that public land nonsense
But every time I tried to make that work, The SOB's wanted money!
Not many of us can travel that road. It must be nice!
So I'm posting on the PUBLIC HUNTING forum. Just sayin'.
