Why do people post this stuff?

I really appreciate the replies. I do feel better about my decision. Looking back over the years, you guys are right. He was always the one that used me. I felt sorry for him growing up because he did not have a good family life so I put up with it. At some point I think that should not be an excuse though. He now has a better job than I do and was still using me. Thanks again for the replies and good luck to all for the rest of the season!

My buddies and I have a saying when we help each other do things that we would never ask of anyone else...its called "friend time." Its usually the last thing you want to do, but you do it because you know they would do it for you. We give each other hell over stupid stuff, but when the rubber meets the road, I have 6 guys that I know would do anything for me and I would do anything for them in return. The reverse of that is we never do anything to screw each other over. Sometimes you need to trim the fat from your life. Its not always easy, but its worth it in the long run. IMHO, he should be calling/texting you to ask for your forgiveness.

Why not?

Is there actually a post that you do like, because when I look back through your previous post...you pretty much have a negative attitude in all of them

He wasn't a friend, he was an aquaintance. Life goes on.

Just wanted some opinions on this as I have felt guilty about it since it happened last season.

I had a friend that I grew up with all my life that called me and wanted to know if he could get on my deer lease. I told him that we really didn't have any openings but I would discuss it with the other members and if they didn't have a problem with it I would let him join us. I talked to the other members and allowed him to join our lease. I gave him sole access to about a 200 acre section of the property. He would be the only one hunting on it. I told him that he needed to go down the county road to enter that section so he did not drive through other's hunting areas to get there and he agreed. 2 weeks into the season I noticed that someone had been driving through my hunting area and right beside my feeder. I knew it was him so I called him and told him to use the other gate like I told him to and he said he would. But he didn't, he kept driving through my area all during the week when nobody was there. I found out that one time while driving through my area he shot a doe under my feeder that turned out to be a nubbin buck. I called him again and told him to stop. On work days he would never show up. When we would plant our food plots he would always tell me to get his seed and he would pay me back but he never would. When I would ask him for my money he would say he just didn't have it at the time but he always had several 30 packs of beer in his trucks. Apparently he had money for beer. Finally, I had been gone for a week hunting down South and when I got back I found a large hog carcass hanging on our skinning rack, full of maggots. I was pizzed! I called him and told him to get his stuff off the property and keep what he owed me for a refund on the remainder of the season. He begged me to let him stay and said he would do better but I was so pizzed that I told him he had 1 week to get his stuff.

That was last season and he has not spoken to me since then. He will not return my texts or calls. I really feel bad about what happened and I lost a life-long friend over a dang deer lease. How would you handle that situation? Did I over-react?
