When friends ask me to take them hunting in my spots, I often invite them to go scouting with me first. If they are willing to put in some sweat equity they typically respect that secret spots are earned and are less likely to show it to their buddies. Very few are actually willing to come along in July and August and put the work in. As a result, very few get invites to come along once the season starts.
This is a great way of doing it. Recently my sister has been going out with me to scout and make the rounds of the trail cameras. She started doing because she wanted to get in shape and hike more and to take her dog on longer walks. After I got home from this years Elk hunt she mentioned that she would be interested in hunting next year. She already knows my spots and has done many trips out there so I don't feel bad at all having her go out there, besides she is not going to be in good enough shape to get the really good spots.
