Title: thanks found a hunting partner..
Post by: backwoods_boy on August 25, 2009, 08:37:14 AM
 :cryriver: :'( :'( :'( :'(
My brother decided that he cant go with me next week for opening day deer archery.  He doesn't have a deer tag so i guess i dont blame him, but i was trying to talk him into bear hunting while i deer hunt.  

So a week before we were supposed to go he tells me he cant go.  :bash: Now im up Sh*t creek and don't have a partner for opening day.   :bash: :bash:

We had a couple of ideas where we wanted to go, but nothing in stone.  

So do i dare ask.......i have Friday September 4th off and i planned on leaving on Thursday September 3rd after work until Monday September 7th.

If you need a hunt partner or would be able to offer me to come along i would rather not go alone.
i have all my own gear and food but just would rather not go alone.

thanks in advance guys!

Sorry to hear about the sudden change in plans  :( I know it makes things more difficult.

I would not mind going with you ( l like meeting and hunting with new people) but i have other obligations already.





If it was me, I would just go by myself.  :twocents:

Why not just hunt alone?  I am just curious as I prefer going out alone.....
Title: Re: So here is my dilemma....
Post by: backwoods_boy on August 25, 2009, 09:20:44 AM
this is a personal choice.
i would just much rather go with someone.
i have only been hunting 4 years and this is my first archery season so i would rather have someone to talk to and walk the hills with.

Well as far as a location i had a couple of places that we picked but not sure about hunting archery in them.
if you are really serious about hooking up PM me.
thanks guys

At least your persistant.  Some of your post remind me of a Bum I see everyday on the side of the ROAD holding a sign up asking for everybodys hard earned money, rather than just getting out there and earning it on his own...  :dunno: :chuckle:

Just go.  It's a little spooky the first time you camp alone for a few days but you'll learn a lot by doing it.  Your ears will work better than they ever have before.   :yike:

I'm glad you guys found each other. I've hunted solo before.. I don't necessarily dislike it. I actually seem to go farther than if I had a partner.. Not that they've ever held me back. But it's nice to have someone to play cards with back at camp.

I suspect that I will be hunting solo for some of my time in the woods this year.

Wife friggin hates it when I do that.

Well, it is nice that there is someone that worries about me. Cares about me. Knows when to send the recovery party after my belongings. I'm sure she'll be happy that someone finds my body someday, that's the way she can make the life insurance claim.  :chuckle:

Post by: halflife65 on August 25, 2009, 08:59:11 PM
Hunting solo is actually my favorite thing to do.  It allows me to make my own decisions about how far to walk, how long I should glass an area, if I pull up and go to a new spot if I don't think one is working out.  I also hunt a lot harder when I'm by myself.

I'm ultra serious about it and I don't drink at all until I shoot something - ever.  But if I'm successful or the season ends I'll have a beer or two to celebrate either a successful conclusion or a good hunt (or both). :)  Anyway, hunting by myself limits other people doing distracting things like staying up too late drinking and pissing me off in the morning when they have trouble getting out of bed. 

I don't want to give the impression that I'm against beer - I'm a HUGE fan.  Just not while I'm on a hunting trip.

+1 Halflife, I am almost always alone when hunting. Its nice to meet up at the end of the day at camp when camping, but when bowhunting its a solo act for me, go in our seperate directions

So i dont get this post, you have all your own gear, all your own food, but from what i understand you really have no idea where to go and are hoping someone will take you there or invite you there and keep you cozy/occupied?
Really, its the nite before the prom and you dont have a date huh, If you want to come and split a few cords of wood next summer, i'll have ya in camp after next year, but this year, sorry im hunting solo,, :chuckle:

So i dont get this post,

True statement.

you have all your own gear, all your own food,

i have all my own gear and food but just would rather not go alone.

from what i understand you really have no idea where to go and are hoping someone will take you there or invite you there

We had a couple of ideas where we wanted to go, but nothing in stone.  

I have no real need to defend backwoods (he does a pretty good job of that on his own, despite occasionally walking right into a slam), but I don't think that his request was ever begging to get into someone else's camp. He is in fact inviting me to his camp - and I don't even have to chop any firewood.
