When you take a friend hunting what do you do?

[Thunderflight]

Here is a scenerio.

A friend has come over to hunt. You two are good friends, but not best bud's. He loves to hunt almost as much as you do, but hasn't killed a nice buck yet.

If you took him hunting on your property which would you do?

It would depend on if I had my big buck yet. If I'm tagged out I'd prolly set him up for a big buck. If not, I'd explain it to him about "Me First" for the big buck stand and let him ride it out at a less likely stand.

id squeeze in there with him and then we'll see who the real hunter is and fastest shot :mischeif: im an equal opportunity hunter

I took a good friend hunting last year and put him in the best spot I new and I took the second best spot on the property. I shot at a pheasant and missed and he shot a respectable buck. I helped tracted it till about midnight, than field dressed it, then we both drugged it up to the truck, and then I helped hang it. Needless to say I didn't get home until some around 4:00am and no I didn't get a buck last year. I know my fault for putting him in the best spot. But he has turned me on to some good fishing holes and some good hunting spots, so I guess we are even now.

If he is youur friend and hasnt taken a buck, this question should have been answered before it was asked.

At least from my point of view.

I tell'em to shut up and be quiet and don't pull the trigger until you got a clean shot. :)

[coonskinner]

i would gladly put them on a big buck...one that i would pass on...like a 130...:mischeif:

It really depends on the guy and how he hunts. Most times we would probably flip a coin for the best stand. I have been burned before by putting the "wrong" guy in a really good set-up. A few years ago I put a buddy in one of my best stands for a morning hunt. He hunts the am sees some deer but never gets a good shot. We meet back up and he tells me what he saw and how it went. Then he proceeds to tell me "man I did a bunch of scouting after I was done hunting and saw tons of beds and rubs, I even followed the scapeline into the thicket, looks like thats where that buck is bedding." Duh, thats why I hung the stand there, good thing you stomped all through the bedding area, that should really bring them in!!! He gets the 2nd best stand now when we hunt together.

Ed,
And me??? I know you better than Jimmy.

[OhioHunter88]

it just depends if i know hes a good shot and can sit still without gettin busted no question the good stand, but if its a friend like 06 id leave him at the truck or maybe the"squriel" stand..hehe...thats bad im pickin on him and hes not even here....lol

I agree its fun to just hear the stories. It enjoy knowing I did something to help someone out, its kind of rewarding.
