Secret spots

[85yota]

Slow offseason so thought id share some entertainment.. Took a friend shed hunting in one of those areas that you probably shouldnt take other people but as he doesnt hunt or care to no big deal right.. Gave him the rundown on being tight lipped. 2 days later at a party with friends he starts explaining what city we were at and how cool the area was (one of those places with a small herd that no one really knows about unless you know).. Long story short he didnt say where or anything but after a while talking he finally understood my logic on how word travels to fast.. And than he made this meme which cracked me up so i had to share.

I have lost two hunting spots due to this. I give the general run down before going. This is my spot, don't talk about it, don't show anyone, and don't hunt it when I'm not with you. And I was still burnt on it. I was told by one of them its public land anyone can hunt it


Now there are only a select few I will hunt with in spots like this.

I have traded information that is mutually beneficial, knowing that it runs a risk, you have to analyze whether the trade is worth it or not.

It pays to not have any good secret spots, I don't worry one second about anyone blowing up where I hunt.

[Jingles]

Don't and won't share or show secret spot other than in the woods in WA.

I hate liars and thieves.....Only time it is acceptable to lie is when discussing hunting or fishing spots!!

The best "secret spot" is where I am sitting while the other place gets blown up...


Don't need to advertise, anybody that stops at the local fuel station will hear about it.
.
My best spot is in an area everybody speeds right on by to get "deep and dark", only to spend time socializing and comparing bikes, and listening to each other bugle.
.
I almost hate to say it, but not only are there Rocky and Roosevelt, Throw in "Cascade Roosevelt" (I-5/PCT),

.
But there is also "#!$"by!" Elk!
.
You know, they show up in the damndest places.
.
Can't find a 3pt Bull during season in Washington?
.
Standing in someone's backyard.
Trolling the parking lot at the local IGA...
Standing in the road making you wonder how much it would cost to fix your vehicle?
.
I will give up my "secret spot" in a heartbeat.
You walk it differently..
You go to the places I have already been.
.
You're welcome.
.
It's only a secret if you don't tell anyone.
.
Just because it was raining when I was there..

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Sit on a stump in the right place, count the cars drive by...
.
Edge of public/private.
Sit your ass down and quit fidgeting...
.
You now have a secret.
Kill the elk/deer/bear/...
.
Now it's a "SECRET" spot...

I never bring anyone to any of my "Secret" spots.  If it is that big of a secret and that important to you DO NOT bring ANYONE there. I have been burnt, I felt violated. I have since tested people by bringing them to a spot I don't really care about and telling them don't talk about it or go here etc.  Everyone fails the test. Every single time.

I have made that mistake. Was a close friend. That person he told had a big camp the next couple years

Took a good buddy to montana, he got a big buck didnt think just mentioning the lil town 10 miles from our camp was a big deal.

Well theres only one road though town leads past just a few obvious nice spots everything else straight up staight down.   Needless to say we ran into his buddies in all our spots the next year.

I took a friend hunting in Idaho a few years ago.  Next year I said I didn’t want him to come.  “It’s national forest, I can come if I want”.  He didn’t end up doing that.  But learned my lesson on that one.
