Even climbing into a tree stand may be too much. If you put on drives, let them be standers, and choose locations where they don't have a long hike. Working With Groups Trying to put together a long-distance hunt with three or four pals may be an exercise in futility, because everyone has personal schedules and conflicts to work out. More than once I've heard friends tell me they couldn't confirm a hunt because the news had to be broken gently to their spouses. One way to solve that problem is to establish an absolute, ironclad deadline whereupon each hunter places a substantial, nonrefundable deposit with the group leader, who collects the fee and engineers the hunt.
Some people have a way of changing plans suddenly or breaking promises.
Be wary of them the next time you plan a hunt.
