I dont hunt birds but do hunt public land and if taking someone else I usually prefer to hunt new ground. That way if it turns out to be a good spot it becomes "our spot" and we will hunt it together or apart but ask if the other wants to come.
On the odd occasion I take someone to one of "my" spots I ask that they dont return and shoot the shit out of it, Most of the time they dont sometimes they do the ones that do dont come to anymore of "my" spots

haha , Veitnamcam unlike many I can go against the flow if I disagree with it -I can stand alone on subjects and feel ok -try it sometime .Can you imagine how boring this all would be with a bunch of head nodders hahaha

By the way -what do you do if you arrive at your favorite spot and there are several hunters already there -- they probably think what the f--k this dick doing here at our spot --really viscious circle -then you there and your mate turns up and you want to say " what are you doing at my spot "even though its on a doc ballot for him to hunt --did you say that to him or did you hold back because you know your an arse hole if you did -- and the viscious circle goes on --I stay out of those circles and think not to think how some of you do

What exactly should I be standing alone on?

Ever heard of the "Man code" I guess not

Actually no , I have not heard of man code ? I have a code that might be the same -it includes sharing , caring , not to be scared of moisturizing , showing empathy to others and not sweating the small things .Nothing I do would include the attitude of dissing a mate who cares to hunt a ground open to the public every day of the week to hunt just because I think its especially mine .Now tell me about your Man code

Some things cant be explained

Meeting other hunters on the hills usually results in a friendly chat about where we have been and where we intend to go.

were talking upland game hunting not deer stalking -a slightly different thing I suppose though similar principle still applies - don't try to control other people especially with stuff you don't own or have a right to control -this aint your forest and not your dune country --your see once you think you make the rules another comes along with a different set of rules -just their own opinion but the fact is you dont have any right what so ever to put your shit on to others because you feel uncomfortable .My situation with Uplander is different again and I personally have no problem with him and would hunt again with him even though his values differ to mine -- just dont sweat the small stuff --went to the gun shop today and my friend behind the counter say"I got cancer "

The spot I hunted with him was 10 years ago for a weekend and the following year for two day and not since then till three weeks ago .You might understand my attitude toward his comments understanding this . In saying that If he thinks I am cutting his lunch he needs to understand when he isnt there others are eating at the table because IT IS PUBLIC LAND OFFERED ON NORTHLANDS HUNTING BALLOT-DO you know how many go north to hunt -my god nothing is secret -these attitudes sound like surfers who think because this year they found a secret spot its theirs but behind them was a generation of others .

actually it not about property rights, its exactly as RCGSP has said

Zharn , we diametrically disagree about you having control on other shooters hunting a known piece of Doc ground -when other shooters come on the ground do you say this is my ground piss off or is it only to me you want to say this ??

You have a set of rules that you follow -next I have a set of rules that I follow and they differ --it doesnt matter what XYZ thinks at the end off the day as 50 billion other hunters can apply and shoot the same dirt --oh except me as I have to ask you for permission right ??right ??

How many other think they can control other people here -- it will be good to see who you are

upNorth uplandlander , shall we go and shoot one of my property's next week near Muriwai , I can pick you and your spaniel up and run the dogs ?

I was always taught if someone is kind enough take you hunting (or fishing for that matter) to one of their spots you never go back unless its with them. Public or private land and works both ways

Im with you there mikee.

Exactly

No etiquette folks get :pissed off :nek minit not friends .. no more invites , really if someone has done the leg work and invites me to hunt his secret spot x with him, he's a G.C and i wouldnt go back uninvited ,and have little respect for guys that would .

Secret spots are secret spots some spots just are not secret --a big difference
