Scott Linden recently put out a podcast over spot sharing, very contentious topic with responses all over the spectrum. It was a good listen but I imagine this crowd is going to put me through the meat grinder over this topic.
It got me thinking about where people draw the line, because I find myself in a middle ground. On one hand, sweat equity is everything, and once you give up a spot, you have to accept it's no longer "yours" (if it ever was).
On the other hand, helping a trusted hunter out often pays dividends down the road when you're the one in a new zone looking for a starting point. If someone helps me, I'll help them when the opportunity comes.
What say you, HT?
Do you ever share spots, or is it a hard NO across the board?
Is your rule species-dependent (e.g., sharing bird covers vs. big game)? One it s a maybe and the other is an absolute Nope.
What vetting or circumstances do you require before dropping a pin for someone?
Need to have a come to Jesus meeting with the person beforehand?
Do you expect quid pro quo?
