Well said Iron!! If they think you are worth a hill of beans they will ask you to go.

Keep in mind that whether you hunt alone or with a partner you may encounter others that think it is their Honey Hole also. Your first impression of it being your Honey Hole and not seeing other hunters in the area can be strictly a coincidence.  No matter how careful or secretive you are it is hard to believe that as many other hunters as there are hitting the woods every day that your spot is not a known spot. I have left home well before can see in order to get to a spot, park, walk a half mile, and then find someone sitting in their rig with the motor running. They ruined their own hunt.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

It is wise to take someone else with you into the backcountry......but not that guy. Keep looking.

"Personally, I believe you would have better luck hooking up with someone who frequents a site like this one, someone who is thinking about the hunt each day of the year."

I think Iceman hit this nail right on the head. Over the years, and there have been a few :chuckle: Ive found that finding a "good hunting/fishing partner" is about the hardest partner to find, no disrespect intended towards anyones spouses. I suppose it all comes down to your method of hunting/fishing. Obviously finding someone to sit beside you while your driving down the dirt roads isnt the qualifier here either, Im talking about "hunting". There are a few on this site that I can tell are your "hard core" hunters, and there are several that think they are but the odds of these "hard core" guys meeting by chance is higher than winning the lottery, that is until the advent of the internet. Lets face it, there arent any "bars, clubs, raves" etc for us to go and "pick up" hunting partners like there are for meeting a mate, this being my point on it being the hardest partner to find. Your more likely to find a good partner now that sites like this have come along, I just wish it had been about 30 years ago :chuckle: Oh ya, if you are one of those guys that hunts from the seat of his pants in your 73 Chev PU here is a site for you to find your partner, and, or your mate. :chuckle:

 Cool deal, can't beat it. We never see much hunting, but she has the knack for fishing. Now that she's "mastered" salmon, I'm getting her into fly fishing.
