I am , like the majority of the guys that responded , a loner when it comes to bow hunting. I have 2 good friends I hunt w/ occasionally but I belong to a lease they don't belong to. I spend 75% of my archery time there and they aren't allowed in.
Most of the time our schedules conflict or we'd hunt more often together.

I am not a shop kinda' guy at all. I do all my own work and buy my equipment from myself. I shoot a winter 3 spot league some years with a buddy down the street , but since I'm not a regular with that crowd they don't have much to say.
I have a very reliable partner for rifle season though. My wife is with me then. Or should I say I'm with her.

To give it a number.....I'd say 6.
