Hi everyone

I just wanted to know how many use the buddy system and what your reasons are.
I my self like hunt with freinds and buddys, I think its much safer and we can share the thrill and memoreies not to mention take each others pictures.

I almost always go hunting with my dad. It's not only safer but it gives my wife peace of mind when I'm out.Our hunting spots usually contain a tree stand and severalground blinds within 100-200 yards of each other. We also can communicate with two-way radios to brag toone another about what game we're seeing.

Using the buddy system is the only way I enjoy hunting. It is a time to get out and enjoy nature with family and friends. It is really the best way to go enjoy Northern Wisconsin, after the hunt go oink around in the smaller towns.

I enjoy hunting with friends but like to be out in the woods alone. It is a time to be with myself and get away from everyone. I hunt both, with a buddy and alone.

I enjoy hunting with my dad everytime we get a chance. I also like going with my grandfather when he is feeling up to it. The both taught me just about everything I know about hunting
I can't wait for my childern to grow up and hopefully want to go with me and their grand dad.
I also take my wife when she has time along with 1 other friend who only gets to hunt a couple days a year in my area.

buddy is aka saftey..

i take my wife and show her where we're gonna be, stand and all.

she knows what time to expect us and if not home within 30-45 mins. passed that time and no call, she's to come looking..

that is how i was raised..

i also do this with fishing.. you never know

if no one knows where your at and something happens, no one knows where to start looking..

For 50yrs I have always had a hunting partner.

i'llalways let someone know where i am and if i get down to stalk, i tell them what direction i should be going in......2 people know where every one of my stands are , just in case....if they arent hunting , someone knows where i'll be or at least how to contact the 2 folks that know where i am.....

I prefer hunting with a buddy, usually keep withing 500-600 yds of each other. Although now with the gps units we scout out an area, determine where we want to be and mark the waypoints. The two way radios are also handy, if legal. I have hunted by myself and would not hesitate to do it needed, but I always let someone know exactly where I'll be and when to come looking.

I 99% of the time hunt with a buddy, just seems more enjoyable to share the time with a good friend/family especially if its someone you have hunted with for years.
