I have the odd guy come out but for me it is sometimes a pain. It's like trying to organize a hunt with someone.
When I go I leave at the craziest hrs. I leave sometimes after the kids go to bed and drive late at night to get up there. Then work my arse off to get things done and come home. I don't stop for food. I go go go.
I am also a last min. kinda guy where I don't know when my next trip will be. I have an idea of a timeframe but will up and go when I see I have a day or 2 to go. It's hard for others to come along with my schedule. Not sure about how others do things tho.
Hauling bait would be helpful though if I had big chunks of bait.
One real big way of helping would be if guys froze meat scraps in buckets for trappers. I know if I had guys collecting bait and freezing it in tupperware containers for me so I could just swing by and grab bait that would be HUGE!.
I had a crazy idea of a hunter drop off. I thought of getting a bin and have guys drop off their scraps after they butcher them. Issue with that is I am in town and I don't think the neighbors would like that lol
I also don't need people I don't know knowing where I live either and having people around I don't know. It's an issue every year with people tossing their scraps on roads or trespassing on some farmers field to dump them. I am sure guys would like a place to dump their stuff
