If he sincerely apologized, then do YOURSELF a favor and forgive him.

That still doesn't mean you need to hunt with him again. He needs to rebuild credibility by being a consistent man of his word.

i don't like to hunt with people, i have in the past never had a down side, but more conformable with no one else.  only you can mess something up not anyone else to blame. 

Forgive your friend,  friends are more important then hunting.   Is hunting going to bail you out of jail, or give you a place to stay if needed, drive you home from a bar if you got way to drunk.

Yep, been knocked off my game a few times by hunting with people.  Even when hunting with experienced and successful hunters it can be easy to lose focus.

Yea hard to swallow but friends are friends if he is a friend that you cherish and know that he would do for you as you would do for him.. hunting is hunting and family and friends that are worth it, are not replaceable. i hope you are able to find a great hunt this year considering the situation. if you were close to me I would invite you to join us. Good luck....

I hope you have a killer hunt, get to show your buddy lots of pictures when you get back to work and think fondly of your last BBQ elk burger every time he complains about tag soup! :chuckle: Good Luck!

Well it looks like things might work out after all.  He's definately going to ditch me and my future father in law's back up plan didn't pan out either but I'm at least going to be able to get out on a 4 day trip with a couple other guys from work.  Kind of last minute, I've never hunted that area but one of the guys has for bear and has seen sign in the past. The best part is the guy I sold my trailer to earlier this year offered to let me use it next week.  I'm still pretty bummed but trying to see the bright side.

Thats BS no doubt. I have one buddy thats always game , that being said I always plan my trip and set the dates , and have enough gear incase someone backs out . some times hunting by yourself is a great time to reflect on things . oh yeah have a kid you can always drag them along my sons 16 now and turning into a good pack mule.
