RE: Putting your friend on a deer..
I've never put friends on deer, but I absolutly LOVE putting people on their first turkey.
I'm 5/6 on putting people on turkeys. Been with for 4 of them, it is a rush. Especially when people haven't hunted them before. When they hear their first gobble 20 yards away on the roost, they look at me like they saw a ghost..
Look forward to putting a good friend, and fellow HNIeron a bear, next september.
Talk about pressure.

Is it just me or does everyone else get more excitementout ofputting their friends on a deer rather than shooting one themselves?

This is a picture of my son's girl friend. I put her in a blind for the shotgun weekend and she stuck it out like a trooper through some severely cold temperatures. On Sunday Dec. 7th, in the last 15 min. of legal shooting light, she nails this nice 10 pt. Her first deer ever! I know it's not a bow kill but nothing thrilled me more than seeing her shoot her first deer, let alone a nice buck like this. She capped off a great year that started with killing her first tom in the spring. By the way, this is also her first year of "hunting". I'd say we introduced a new hunter to our sportthat will be hooked for life!

That's what I told her! It could be a lot of cold hours on stand to shoot a buck like that again. I gotta hand it to her, she put in the hours. It wasn't just walk out there and shoot one on opening day. It couldn't happen to a nicer girl!

RE: Putting your friend on a deer..
I had Matt/TN here over Thanksgiving to hunt with me for 3 days, the first too we were hard at it, bow in hand seeing nothing, I wanted so bad to put him on a deer, and you really do feel the pressure, even though youve explained to them, "We may not see a single deer", and "I cant garantee you anything" and you know thats not a concern for them either.....
BUT that is after all what they are there for, and when its not working out, I started to feel the pressure, the last morning, Matt decided to take my rifle out, and took what ended up being a spike.
What a relief.... but it was a Blast! Hopefully will be doing it again. I'd post a pic, but I got a new comp. and havent transfered any files yet.

RE: Putting your friend on a deer..
I enjoy trying to get my buddies on some deer because we do a lot of good stalks together. Sometimes i know i will push the deer to him and sometimes he knows he will push the deer to me. We usually surround small bedding areas and start creeping. Its exciting and helps to teach you to walk quietly through the woods.

RE: Putting your friend on a deer..
I agree with Jeff, Aaron, and Rory. I wouldn't say "more", but rather "as much". When I'm hunting for myself, I have drive. when I'm hunt with others, I have pressure. It is a pressure I love-wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China!
So how many of you are going to show up for a Colorado elk hunt?
