Spot Sharing

[cgasner1]

Which is very much appreciated. I have lot more experience butchering than hunting, anyways.

Teach a man to hunt he will burn your spot. Give him half a elk and the wife thinks we need more burger meat and you get to go hunting again

When you have something to offer as a hunting partner, you get invited a lot more places.

Good Tent set up, pack string, bloodtrailing dog, drone to recover game...all good investments...

Wait. I’m supposed to give the GPS coordinates like a serial number on a dollar bill right. 47°21'49"N, 107°5'13"W

Sometimes it is best to give a little bit of info about just about everywhere.

In a limited entry unit that take a decade or more to draw, I'm more than happy to offer tips and occasionally drop pins. For general areas, burn some boot leather and figure it out. When asked where I'm hunting even by people that don't hunt my response is always the same: "the mountains".

If I was hunting a spot where I was racing other hunters, I would be the first poster on Rack's "where were the elk yesterday?" thread. Then I would go 1 of about 25 other places that I don't have to race anybody.
I have straight up lied to people I know and a year or 2 later tell the same person the truth just to watch their jaw drop in disbelief. They then have no clue, just like before.
Them: You said you shot that up so and so creek.
Me: No shit? That is what happens when you ask someone where they killed something.

Ummmm, decimal degrees please.

The problem is that everyone you tell can tell someone else who can tell someone else until the spot isn't any good anymore. Be very careful who you tell. At the end of the day, you found a spot ... they can find their own spot.

The worst are the people that seem to get irritated when I tell them I can't say where I was. Maybe they would prefer I lied to them. It's not my business where people hunt, so I don't ask. I don't want people asking me either. I'm happy to share info for tags that are tough to draw or with people I know I can trust.

Lied to someone just yesterday about where I got my deer

I did that once. Said I shot a bull in the Bridgers, then mistakenly told the same person years later that it was in the Gallatin. Got a weird side eye look that makes me think he hunted the Bridgers after the initial hot tip. Neither of those are the truth.

Already rude of them to ask in the first place. If they aren't a hunter then I get they don't understand and they usually just get a "outside of Helena" or "outside of Billings" for a response.

If another hunter I don't know asks me then I usually just ignore the question and change the topic.

Nearest river drainage is always safe....

Columbia River drainage, Missouri river drainage, Rio Grande River Drainage, Colorado river drainage, San Joaquin river drainage, Sacramento River Drainage, etc.....

I just say “off Norris road”

Unless it’s a random stranger online, they get a full on frontal pic of Barry Wood.

Your dms are probably gonna get blown up now from a couple people trying to keep their search history clean.
