Hunting with friends or family
 

With all the thread popping up about greed, and other similar questions, it got me thinking.

I personally have SOO much fun hunting with friends, successful or not. It's just one of those things I don't experience too much. The last few years I've become more independent when it comes to hunting. Which is OK, but I enjoy hunting with friends a whole lot more, just because I don't get to experience it as much. I believe I would rather hunt with friends for a few days and kill a doe, than kill a buck by myself.

The most fun I've had in my hunting career was this year when a bunch of family went on an Oak Ridge hunt. We hunted 2 days hard, went out to eat at night,stayedat a hotel, and it was literally a blast.

Do any of you guys share the same opinions?

I absolutely love hunting with my family! (My dad and my brother) My mom hasn't hunted now for a few years but I hope to get the bow back in her hand once again. My mother isn't a rookie by no means. This lady has shot 5 bear and about 10 deer all with a bow.

I have one very close friend thats a hunting buddy of mine. I wish there was a couple more but I just don't hunt with anyone. I'm kinda picky who I choose as friends and who I choose as hunting buddy's. Besides I tend to be a loner when it comes to hunting.

Well last year in October i went down tomy best friendsgrandmas in buffalo county wisconsin and i had the best time of my life... I hunted with him one morning and we only seen 1 buck but let it walk, then that night i hunted with his dad ( he was on Minnesota Bound) and we never seen anything but it was a time i'll never forget... No one got me into hunting when i first started, my dad hunts bu the wouldnt take me or anything so i had to buy my own bow and gun by myself... Alot of the things i had to learn from everybody on here, thanks alot guys.. Also the next night i was down there i seen my first 190 inch buck of my life so that meant alot to me also...

During the youth gun season, me and a bunch of my friends and family go out and do deer drives all over the township. It really is a blast. We used to all go down to Green county and hunt some public land, but the deer were killed of really bad a few years ago and the hunting is not as good.

I hunt with friends and family all the time and love it! Now, I don't mean in the same stand. I mean from the same camp.
Rarely are we in the same area of the propety, though I often set up withineye shot of my dad when we're hunting together. We enjoy seeing eachothers work at the moment of truth :).

The family bow camp is what got me hooked on hunting in the first place. Now it's just me, my dad, and my cousin but we have a blast hunting together. I pass on the chance to hunt better properties alone just to hunt with my family.

i love hunting with family and friends, normally dont sit in the same stand as them, but were in the same stretch of woods.

My older brother and I are hunting buddies--been hunting together for well over 30yrs(except for the years he was in the military).He's not only my older brother--he's my mentor and best friend

While I do enjoy SOME hunting with others and have taken and helped a new bowhunter each of the last two seasons and already have a sixteen year old friend of my sons lined up for this season, I have to say that day in and day out, I prefer to hunt by myself.

Maybe it is because I am constantly in contact with others in my work that I enjoy the solitude and peace of being by myself and not having to worry about anyone else.

Having said that, over a course of a 90 day whitetail season in which I am fortunate enough to usually hunt around 30-40 of those days, I'd say I take someone with me about 25%-35% of the time.

I always elk hunt with a good friend for about 7-10 days, but I also always make one long weekend (3 or 4 days of hunting)elk/mule deer hunt in Colorado by myself and a satellite telephone for safety. This is usually the highlight of my hunting season each year even though I've only bagged one animal over the years while doing so.

I love hunting with family and friends. If it was not for my family I would not have started hunting at all.
