Hunting partners?
Just curious.
Do most of you have a hunting partner?
How long have you hunted together?
Different people for different seasons or just one for all seasons?
I have been hunting with Larry, my hunting partner for 14 seasons. We hunt deer with bow and ML and also pheasant hunt together.
Larry is 69 years old now, I am 41.
It all started back in 91 when Larry,who had not hunted for years,ended up with a muzzleloader after a friend of his passed away.
I worked with his son(Chris) and he told Larry to get in touch with me about teaching him how to shoot it.
We went to the range and worked up an accurate load for his gun and I asked him if he planned on hunting the ML season that year?
He had no place to hunt and no one to hunt with,Chris hunts bow and shotgun. I invited him to hunt with me that season and here we are,14 seasons later. Best friends!
2 years ago I started taking a young guy(Jason) I met thru our sportbike riding group with us. He was tired of hunting public land and I have plenty of land to hunt.
Larry's son Chris also goes with us when his wife will let him out of the house( I'd kick her to the curb)
Larry and I talked about it and agreed I should start priming Jason to be my future main hunting partner for when Larry is too old to hunt. I'm going to keep Larry hunting as long as possible,even if I have to buy a quad!
The land we hunt most is set up really nice and I can drop Larry off within 100 yards of any stand we have set up or could set up. This keeps the amount of walking he has to do to a minimum.
Just wondering about the rest of you?
