Every year I got people always asking to take them deer, waterfowl, or dove hunting. But when it comes time to go they always got something else to do or they just don't want to go now. Worst part is they do this year after year. Is it just me or does this happen to anybody else?
Is it just me?

My favorite is when is when people ask for deer meat. I always give some away, but i also offer to shoot a deer for them and drop it off at a butcher, then they just need to pick it up and pay. I always got the, no just whatever is free. I really dont offer anymore
Hehe, I've had the opposite experience. Had people offer to take me (I'm chomping at bit as I've never gone hunting) then they either disappear or ignore me altogether...

With the frequency of your posts, maybe they are afraid to take you out, because you might talk that much in person or be playing on your phone the whole time.

I have always told people that they have to head out to the place and put in a minimum of 5 weekends doing stuff around the property, so they can get the lay of the land. As soon as that comes out, they always say "No thanks, but if you get a deer, I want some deer meat.". Sorry, not going to happen... When I get back, the first thing they say is welcome back, then the second thing is "Where is my deer meat?".
I dislike people that pull that crap.
So far, I have had one friend follow though on the 5 weekends and when he is at deer camp, he busts his ass doing stuff with us. He has an open invite every year.

When All Else Fails.
There is a reason why only 5% of the population engages in hunting.
Because it's difficult, maddening, and requires an over abundance of patience and concentration.
I took family members out deer hunting that wanted to run back inside after twenty minutes.

I only have problems taking known hunters. The neophytes are always eager to go. Maybe it's just me?

Don't lump me in with the known hunter category! The wifey's work schedule and my schedule kinda made it impossible!
BTW, when do you want to make the run out west for some trigger time?

I've offered to take numerous friends & co-workers who want to try hunting. Very few get past the Hunter Safety course.

Not a problem. I met him through this site, shoot with the man regularly, and he is a pleasure to hang out with. Eager to learn and share his own knowledge.
Besides texting from a duck blind should be quiet 
Lol, I was hoping you were joking. I was as well.
My son and I took the hunters safety course 2 years ago. My uncle talks about hunting every time I see him. He only hunts on private property with no outsiders welcome. Hasn't responded to my overt hints at asking for help.
Sorry, I don't have time to acquiesce to rules such as yours. I'm lucky if I can carve out more than a couple days, let alone 5 just for prep.
You can apply this to anything that takes people out of their comfort zone. People talk smack and then don't follow through. Same stuff in skydiving. Had about eight or ten people talking crap about going and one posted for the jump. How many military people on here have heard, "i was thinking about going into the military but...".

From your house to my house would be at least an hour and a half. Add another hour and a half to get to the grounds. I rarely offer hunting to anybody. The 5 weekends thing is for those that ask me to take them hunting in WV. It is a one time thing for the 5 weekends, after that help out with the annual deer camp project and its all good.

Nope, you're fine. Wasn't even thinking of you. That was a one time thing.
Trigger time will have to wait til end of Feb beginning of March.
