I myself am becoming more of a solo guy. just something you cant beat. I don't mind base camping with someone but I prefer to hunt alone! why double scent and noise? Plus the personal challenge it gives you. we are all gonna die someday just make sure your life insurance is paid up! A hardcore hunter as yourself the chances you are gonna spend your last day on earth out in the wilderness is an accepted fact of life... its what we call home.

Sounds like a blast, Lojax. It's hard to find someone you can trust for 10 days hunting out of a drive-in camp, never mind back country.  I hope you find the right partner.  :tup:

Lol I find this post funny. When I first started back country hunting the guy who took me was in his 50’s. In 30 plus years of hunting he never brought anyone new with him. Until he met me. As he put it, I New as soon as we first talked you had what it took mentally. He was an animal! I always shot the animals and he was a pack goat like you wouldn’t believe. 6 years later he no longer goes due to aches and pains and getting old. Now trying to find a new partner is tough. Finding someone with the right mindset is hard. Good luck filling your position! I would just recommend going by yourself it’s much easier!

I agree! Finding people who want to hunt the same way you do, with the same values as you, AND who can keep it quiet where you are is challenging. I’ve had a few missteps along the way... lost a few hunting spots... but finding someone you can look to your left and high-five in those special moments is definitely worth the search in my humble opinion.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.
