Our honey hole has not been kept a secret and we've taken lots of bucks out of there for ourselves and friends.  I took my 2011  buck there  and others saw the buck a month earlier but didn't think it would stick around.  Sometimes the buck just plain has your name on it even before the season.  I have more than one honey hole and this one happened to be the backup when I didn't have my rig that night and had to be dropped off for my hunt.  Needless to say 10 minutes later my husband was picking me up.

Hey,
 
I gave out info on my old honey hole to about 4 people on this forum this past season. Did anyone get a deer with my info, just curious :tup:

Where's your honey hole?

Give me some coordinates and I'll go check it out, and let you know if it's still good.   :tup:

Throw it to me...  I have gas to get there...  Bobcat does has to use his gas to get back and forth to work.   :chuckle:

 :yeah:   That's exactly right. Give the coordinates to someone who will use them.

I'm so broke I gotta hunt within 10 miles of home.  :bash:

My point here is that I wont take a buddy to a "honey hole" anymore... even if there is a stipulation about returning to the spot.


I'm very tight lipped about where I hunt, which is why my only real hunting partner is my son.  One of the places we hunt deer is only known by us and a friend (Timberstalker).  My dad and brothers (don't really hunt) don't know where it is.  When I leave to go hunting, I always leave a note with information about where I'll be, in an envelope, and written instructions on the outside instructing my wife to open it if I'm not back by a given date.
With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase. - Abraham Lincoln

Maybe the guys who talk smack and joke about those of us who are tight lipped just haven't experienced a good spot. It's the same guys who claim there are no secret spots left. Work your ass off to find and learn a spot that nobody hunts, then ask yourself if you want to hand it over to everyone and their brother.
There's guys who kill big bucks in solitude, and there's guys who say such spots don't exist.

Wow didnt think my thread would turn into this lol

I live in Idaho now so I just thought I would give my old area away. I still hunt deer in washington, but only because we have a cabin there.

One of the bucks that was pulled out of the spot i am refering to was on display at a sportings good store for a while in Issaquah. This is a blacktail spot, not mule deer. Mum is the word on the spot then lol

It will now be called an inner circle area :IBCOOL:

This year is going to be tough.  I use to hunt in the morning before work and than work late.  BUT with the +5.00 a gallon for gas it will make that tough.  Sucks...

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I don't mind showing my spots to friends but strangers  :dunno: I'll tell you where I seen game if I cross paths with you in the field just because I would want you to do it for me.

At least someone went back there. If someone was to hit the clear cut but then head into the timber, its wide open in there, we have pics of some monsters in there, i just need to scan them. Also the game warden that use to run the fish hatchery just below Snoqulamie falls, got a nice 3x4 out of there last yr :)
