So I know everyone is pumped for the upcoming season this year and I am really excited. I will be hitting it hard scouting when I get back home and from there transitioning into hunting mode. Now I have something that just keeps eating away at me. We all have that one friend that wants to hunt and I made the offer to take him hunting with me this year after he kept asking over and over. This will be his first elk hunting experience. Myself and another friend spent countless hours last summer scouting. Some together and then there were a few solo trips for each of us due to personal reasons. Now here is what is eating away at me. I feel like by offering to take this guy hunting with me has caused a rift between myself and others. I am picking the unit that I have a little knowledge about because if something happens and I get extended on my deployment I am not going to be able to scout. There are several new areas that I want to look at that have great possibility so I might not even be anywhere close to where we scouted/hunted last year. But I feel as though by offering someone to hunt with me I am considered of telling about \"our secret honey hole\". Maybe it is just me but all I am doing is trying to help someone gain a little elk hunting experience. I have never even told anybody about where I hunt other than the unit, if they ask. This new guy isn\'t going to even see any of the spots that were scouted except maybe where I killed my cow at. I don\'t like to share a lot of hunting information because it spreads worse than a wildfire. I have almost told the new guy that I was just going to go on my own but deep down that\'s not me. Am I wrong to over think this?
