Hunting partner for modern?
« on: March 15, 2011, 03:17:42 PM »
So last year was my first year going modern for elk and I had my spike down right at shooting light. I didn't have a partner and there was 3 more spikes that where in the herd. I'd like to find a partner to hunt with this year, I hunt rimrock normaly because I know where the elk are in that unit.

If I make it to that side this year I'm in  K  ;)

Generally, I'm a bowhunter but if I draw a multiseason and am still looking to fill my tag I'll look you up.  I actually went down to that unit last year to help a couple of guys out (no tag or weapon, just a spotting scope and packboard) just for the fun of hunting, so not looking for a free ride.

Just because that's what you do 400 doesn't mean everyone is that way. Just kidding bud. It was a good trip packing that bull out.

If I was modern rifle would go. Will be archery again this year. Demontang is a good guy and skilled hunter. Anyone would be lucky to go with him. :twocents:

Thanks ribka. If you need help with elk this year let me know, rimrock is a good place to stick a cow with an arrow.  And I'll gladly help anyone that needs help packing out an elk or deer. I pack my elk out mostly alone and with a bad pack last year (lesson learned).

Demontang,
I hunt right up the road in Little Naches. If you ever need some help packing one out let me know. We have some strong guys in our camp that would help anyone out. You can send me a pm if you want and exchange emails, phone etc.

Also, hell of an offer you put out there on getting some elk. There needs to me more hunters like you and I out there......
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

The Whiners suck!!

Do a search there has been quite a few people looking for partners in the past couple years.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!

Dude, I am archery hunting this year again, but if you want company and help, I would come upand be there   :IBCOOL:

I don't know if my daughter is going to elk hunt this year, if she does, I will give you a call. If not, I would be more then happy to join you in camp. I have joined others in camp just for the fun of it before and I am sure I will be doing it again.



Besides, being away from the wife and kids is a plus any time of year  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Lol it's dinner to have people to come back to camp and share stories. I've almost always been hunting alone for elk that last four years.
