Does what he/she says he will do.
Does it until the job is done.
Gives/takes advice like a man/woman.
Trustworthy.
This ain't hard.

Now that's good partner input.

Now that your getting up there in age you need to get some oversize stirrups on your riding saddle so your hunting boots fit in and come out easily.The stirrups fit my White's pack boots just fine. I got plenty of "old guy" input when I ordered the saddle. The only thing I really deviated on was a little taller cantle for some extra back support vs. going a little shorter to make swinging my leg over a little easier.
Now that's good partner input.

I pulled those exact stirrups off and went oversize and sure like em.
Nice roach job on the mules.

The answer is the same, whether "elk hunting partner" or "fishing partner" or "business partner" or "spouse/life partner."We've got a winner. Thread can be closed now!

Duck hunt only with a couple guys.
Turkey hunt with same guy every year and maybe a couple others.
Elk hunt with the special five.
Deer hunt with the whole camp.
Spring bear with someone else.
Hunted 20 years with a guy on disability. He was...
opinionated , picky, wouldn't cook, broke all the time , pointed out your flaws in a heart beat. could not get along with anyone but me.
But when I wanted to go ,he was always ready to take off somewhere around the sate. Was a patient hunter. But when he shot his animal he was finished.
We don't hunt any longer together, but are still friends.
You are not going to change anyone ,they are who they are , you either take them for who they are or look else where.
The best partner is more excited when you are successful than he is with his success.

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

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.

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

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.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200210/59589ad1cbeeda0ef08c86f9c103643e.jpg):yeah:
