Thread: Anyone Else Hunted with Outdoor HQ (formerly Hunting HQ)?

I looked at Hunting HQ and decided to go it alone. Initially I let guys go by themselves. It was a disaster! At least I wasn't happy. Wounded or missed animals, Shot volleys etc.
It all went better when I decided too go along and guide. After a while I got too know some of the hunters and sorted out who I could rely on, and it became an unofficial privilege for me to say, you know where to go. You dont need me. That system worked best.

Which is more than likely the reason a lot of land owners, even those with deer problems, are reluctant to allow access.
They then get bagged by hunters for not allowing access.
Vicious circle. But we'll explained whanahuia.
