I've got three, and we can any of us go alone or with any of the others. My wife, my brother-in-law and father-in-law. Me and the father-in-law get to go most, but the wife goes every weekend at least once.

Until recently, only my dad would fit the buddy name. Now that my son hunts, it is the three of us. Oh the things we talk about! I have other friends I hunt with but by far, my favorites are my dad and son.

Most days in the woods it's Dad. But he really hasn't been bitten by the bowhunting bug. He'd rather rifle hunt for deer or pursue small game and such.
My brother in law is starting to bowhunt, but I have a hard time with him. He uses a crossbow (legal in Ohio) but doesn't realize that shot placement is the key. I have already spent an evening tracking a wounded buck that he shot when he got "brown" in the scope. Where were you when you shot? "somewhere around here" where was the deer? "I dunno out there somewhere" Ok fine where is the arrow? " I picked it up, it's back in the truck." What did the deer do after the shot. "Ran Off" Where? "I dunno across the field somewhere" arghhhhhhh. 2 hours later still hadn't picked up any sign. Went back and looked at the arrow. It had some blood and fallow on it. To his credit he did go back at first light the next day and searched and searched the area, no luck though.
needless to say I enjoy his company but not his ethics. Yes he needs educated, and we talk about details and such but since he is new and excited sometimes it's in one ear and out the other.

RE: Who is your hunting buddy??
I hunt with some putz named Michael Willand. Unfortunately for the both of us, we've been friends since high school and continue to annoy each other throughout hunting seasons, year after year. 
My main hunting buddy is still my dad though. Been hunting with the old man since I was a wee boy and I try to spend as much time with him as I can, hunting or otherwise.
