The landowner of the ranch we’re hunting on wants to ride around with us to help navigate the ranch. He is not a member of our team. Is this against the rules?

We have allowed this in the past. It may soon be disallowed if people try to use it as a loophole.  Just remember, if that person is not part of your official “team”, then they are simply a spectator, and cannot pick up a gun, run a call for you, shine a light, pick up your animals, drive the vehicle, drop you off at stands, or aid your team in any way other than navigating their land.  We do allow you to have a non-team member drive you in to weigh-in.  We don’t want anyone falling asleep at the wheel.
