I don't like people much so I hunt solo mostly...no offense to anyone.. it's just how it has to be.

And i can barley stand myself sometimes....i know, i added nothing worth while to the thread.

You’re honest, that counts for a lot in my book. Good luck to you this fall and wishing you many, many years of good hunting bud.

I don't mind a couple guys in camp from time to time..camp fire stories and bourbon... :tup: but I just find so much peace being alone. Especially hunting alone. My pace, my direction, my gut decisions....me and my quarry.

1. Equally shares the chores: cleaning, cooking, packing out
2. Doesn't complain
3. Has fun
4. Self sufficient, can keep up...or better yet, blaze the trail.
5. Doesn't stink, snore or drink to excess

I hunt solo most of the time, but when I do go out with someone, it’s usually my older brother. He’s fairly un-reliable, scouts with me about 10% of the time, walks loudly, coughs all the time, hates to get up early,  but we have a great time out there! That’s all that matters to me!! In his defense, he’s a very hard working single dad of two teenage boys, so I never give him to much chit.😎 just glad we get to spend the time together.

My dad was a WWII Air Force belly gunner on a bomber and a really good hunter.
Whenever the discussion of friends or partners came up his go to question was this..........
Who would you want to stuck in a foxhole with?
Does he/she has a sense of humor, share work, sleep with one eye open, stay in shape, capable, shoot straight both rifle and honesty, also can they get out of a jam?
As a side note, they have to have a few $$$ cause hunting aint cheap.
Dependable vehicle is also a must.
I have had a few hunting partners over the years and those are traits/things I look for.
So far I have been pretty lucky following his advice.
Later,
Rob.

2 long ears, 4 strong legs, and a good back are what I want out of my partners.
