Spot Sharing

[Point Creep]

FWIW it is also rude to ask a rancher their acreage or cattle numbers. When asked how many head of cattle i have, i always say " Too many to feed and not enough to sell....."

Unless you can really relate to them like I can. "How many cows do you have? I have 7."

“where did you get him?” Is the most annoying question to get. The answer is always in the lungs but recently I’ve at least started sharing the county. Gallatin county.

A couple years ago I had a guy reach out to me. I went to high school with his parents but didn’t really know them. He was good friends with a younger cousin of mine. Cousin called to clear the call for me. He’s a good guy.

I knew the unit well. His first elk hunt. I gave him legitimate Xs where we’d seen or killed elk. I asked him to let me know how his hunt went.

Later I heard from him that he killed his first elk by text. I congratulated him. I was curious if my info was helpful and asked. He grunted by text and gave me a 20 mile section of ground where he killed - which is where I told him to go but specifically. Really?

He tried to touch base with me several times since. Sent me a FB request. I’m ghosting him.

I'm too prone to sharing with friends. So far I haven't been burned bad. I'm also lucky that all my best elk spots keep getting better, same with bear spots. But I've never found a good deer spot at least not on public.

I grew up in a culture where you only shared spots with your closest friends and everyone knew not to ask for spots but if they did, they assumed they would get a bullshit answer.

I learned an easy way to prevent getting burned by friends. Just don't make friends.

If I discovered the spot on my own, then I will allow myself to share the information with trusted friends. If I was given the information by someone else, then it is someone else's spot and I don't share that unless it is clear to me that I am free to share it.

Is it rude to ask a public land grazer how many yearlings he’s got out where you’re elk hunting in case one said yearling wants to catch a ride home ? Asking for a friend…

My youngest grandson is the only one I give a straight answer to. Most anyone else , I tell them "right where I aimed".
