It's so nice these days to be lucky enough to have a place to hunt much less all the ammendies you offer and for free to boot. No respect shown here. You deserve respect and should demand it. Damn I wish you lived in Md. LOL. Get serious Ken, drop the hammer on them. Sounds like a semi guided hunt to me, maybe you ought to start charging something.
I tell you what NYB. You sure seem like one hell of a hunting buddy. I think we all wish we had a hunting buddy such as yourself who's willing to go the extra mile. Good guys such as yourself are hard to come by these days. What you did for that kid speaks volumes, my hats off to ya!!
I like GregH's approach... "Call for a meeting with everyone involved and try to get a group work ethic going. Explain to everyone that you don't have enough time to keep doing everything by yourself and that without help from the others, the deer camp, as they know it, may come to an end. Teach them how to process their deer. Make it mandatory for them to be present when their deer is being processed. Your freezer should be able to accommodate that. Do that with everything. In the beginning you will still have to be there in order to make sure that they are doing things right, but after a while they should be alright on their own. There are many ways to divide up the work. You'll just have to find out what works best for your group." Sounds great to me...
For reasons such as this (although not to this extent "is why I tend to think of my self as a one man wolfpack" when it comes to hunting.... Maybe one day I will find someone to join my "wolfpack" and it can grow by one. Then there would be two of us in the "wolfpack". I am alone in the pack but maybe someone will join later......
