Looking for hunting partner 204
Bogie85:
Hey There,
I have a special tag for 204 for a second deer tag, I want to go but my hunting partner can’t go due to life getting in the way. The dates that my tag are legal are from October 17-26th. I haven’t put in time off request, because I have been unsure if my hunting buddy would be able to go. Now that it’s a clear sign he can’t, I am on a last ditch effort. I am a newer hunter, I haven’t gotten any big game yet. But I am happy to just have someone there to help me spot and me help them as well.
I can carry a lot, I don’t complain. But just want safety in numbers, I have areas to hunt but just need someone to go with me. Hoping to find someone or a group that wouldn’t mind me being in the mix. Thanks everyone!

I was gonna respond to your other thread but I'll do this one instead:
Honestly, while having company is nice - there's nothing like hunting solo. You hunt on your own terms, when and where you want. You don't have to take someone else's feelings into consideration and likewise, if you feel like having a lazy day you don't have to worry about disappointing someone else. You also don't have to worry about someone dragging you down if you really want to hunt hard.
Theres no reason to worry about "safety in numbers". If we had griz it would be a different story, but we don't.
Another thing to consider - I know you guys have been given spots by people on the forums, before you invite someone else along you might want to check and make sure those folks are okay with you bringing other people along. Some people don't mind, but a lot do, and its bad form to share that kind of info without the blessing of who let you in on it.
Trust me - if I can do it so can you!
edit: Honestly, if I had the time to spare this season I would totally be down to come out even without a tag. It would be cool to explore new country... unfortunately between having a kid in April, and the hunting I've already done and am still gonna do(a week in eastern Montana in November) I just don't have the free time this year.

Agreed on the spot sharing, I wouldn’t share any spots without talking to those that gave me spots. I have a few other spots that weren’t given to me due to the dang fires I did e scouting a bunch. The only thing I worry about is other hunters possibly shooting me since I don’t know the area or how risky it is in general. I hunt the west side solo regularly but I know the area better.

While some hunters get a bad rap most of the guys in the woods are fairly safe. Just make sure you're wearing more orange than required and you'll be fine. Id at least run a vest and a hat. Make sure to bring some orange of some sort to put on your carcass as well just in case.

That’s not a bad idea, I was thinking of bringing a wagon as well so the animal would never be on my back to make it safer.
