hey i'll tell you what i work at cherry point, (civil service) we can have a guest hunt with us. if you'd like to be a guest then let me know. i'm in the same boat (looking for hunting buddies). there have been some monsters killed out there over the years, and just today i passed on a spike. it's shotgun/muzzleloader only or bow only in the bow areas. i'm not looking to pay to hunt or anything, and it sounds to me that you're just like me hoping there are some descent people out there who would reciprocate.
