Friend or not. It's your trip to enjoy. Never be scared to speak the truth.
What is it about hunting that strains friendships? Happened to me too.
Go with the family hunt.
Give him one more chance after having a discussion about your concerns. Some guys need to be told before they understand. He might turn into a great asset if he learns from you. Good friends are very valuable as you get older. I guess it depends on the scope and length of the hunt.
I have a friend that I hunt with occasionally that drives me nuts but we still go(road hunting for grouse). No way I'd take him overnight anywhere. He showed up for a mountain hike a few years ago looking like a grade schooler on a field trip. Jean cuffs rolled up, boy scout pack pack, T shirt and heavy jacket. We separated for a bit and he almost had a panic attack waiting beside my truck for me.
As far as the dope, I'm not sure I know too many people that don't smoke or eat it these days. Welcome to BC.
A father and son hunt is hard to beat, my best hunting trips have been with my son
Some real good advice on hear.Some not great.Smoking weed is fine after the hunt not during it.I'm not a hypocrite.Used to smoke weed 25 years ago.The guy is just too much work for me.As mentioned by lots of you I'm there to enjoy ourselves not babysit.Gonna call him and tell him its my son and I this time.I'll take him some other time.Thanks to all for your suggestions!Good and Bad.
