[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1598246, member: 8873"] After being burned by some of my friends over the years I would rather hunt alone mostly. As an example of burned: two of us had permission to hunt a pretty small piece of property (just big enough that we were both successful and safe), then he starts bringing family...and more family...and then they were bringing family...then guys from his kid’s soccer team...and then they started bringing folks...and then there was none! He went elk hunting with me this past season for the first time and was talking about bringing half a dozen of his family members up there. I just smiled and said we will need another tent. I also had some locals a few years back try to run me off the area I was hunting in Colorado. I was alone and there were several of them. They came up to my little camp and expressed “this is where they hunt”. After sabotaging my tent and all my clothes (to get wet), luckily they left after a few days. Also had guys stop in and talk to me and when I said where I’d be opening morning they made it a point to pass me on the 4 wheeler trail (rather aggressively) on my way in and then walk back and forth in front of me all morning. One even started playing quick draw on the hillside below me and accidentally fired a shot. I have also met some great folks up there. Some have come to check on me and invite me to come eat dinner at their camps. I put one of those guys on probably a muley buck of a lifetime this year, would be for me at least. [/QUOTE]
