hunting with other people
 
whats the best way to hunt with other people?
like if you were to go out hunting with another person (2 people all together)
what would be the best way if both people want to bag a deer? is it best to split up and go sperate ways or stay in a blind together?
rifle hunting

If you want the best chance to both tag out and have the room def split up.

I usually hunt with 4-8 other guys at a session. Sometimes less .. sometimes with as many as 15 in camp. We hunt on about 3150 acres. We coordinate where we are going to hunt and post out as near our exact position as practical using a highly accurate map. HAs worked out great over the years.

I used to hunt with a big group until we moved. We would all split up and then share notes at the end of the day. The results were usually pretty good for our group.

It's ahrd to share the blind with some people some guys just want to shoot the first thng and then be done since they are tagged out. I had a guy once shoot a deer after we drug it out he hauled tail home and was done for the season. I thought he could have hung around and helped out the rest of us but owell he did come abck the following year.lol

I will typically hunt with one other person, sometimes two or three but not very often. We always split up and position ourselves so that if one guy spooks a deer they would typically head towards another guy. Then at the end of the morning/evening two guys will do a push towards the other guy, hopefully scaring up a deer towards the third hunter.


Its always a good idea to wear orange when hunting with others, even if its not required.

Completely agree.
Whatever you do. Don't hang in the same blind with another Hunter. It's not productive. You'll end up talking to each other and making noise. Unless its a Hot chic then I say do it. :)

Hanson423 10-08-2012 06:57 PM

so would each guy go to seperate ends of the woods and they pretty much meet in the middle? what do you guys think about using walkie talkies? is it a good idea?

daleintampa 10-08-2012 07:19 PM

You don't have to be miles apart. You just don't want to be in a position where both of you see the same deer at the same time. Me and my cousin are sometimes just 150 yards from one another and I might see Deer and he won't or vice versa. Wilkie talkies are ok but texting is quieter.

Hanson423 10-08-2012 08:00 PM

ok i was just woundering cause i might go hunt with a friend or anlone not sure yet, im just new to hunting....never got the chance to hunt when i was younger and now that i have i kid i want learn everything i can so i can be able to teach her everything she need to know when she gets old enough to hunt cause i always want to go hunting when i was younger.

whyd you copy me?

scottycoyote 10-09-2012 11:28 AM

there are some good 2 man deer drives you can do, you can both hunt into the wind with one man trailing the other (if the first guy doesnt spook the deer too badly it will circle downwind and possibly into the sights of the 2nd man), you can hunt parallel on either side of a ridge top, one man can get in a stand and the other can walk a cloverleaf pattern around him, etc. In my mind 2 people can hunt an area better than one, why split off when you can use it to your advantage.

how could you both bag a deer...wouldnt a gun shot spook off deer?

I hunted with a buddy of mine for years.We normaly sat at least where we could see each other,and always used text. now we dont hunt together but still text when were in the woods.

daleintampa 10-09-2012 05:17 PM

Hunting from a tree stand is the easiest and most productive way of Hunting Deer. It is very difficult from a blind. Trying to push a tract with other people is Dangerous especially if your a beginner. Dangerous by means of getting shot or shooting one of your buddies.

I suggest invest in a Climbing tree stand. Range from $150 to $350. You can take them anywhere. My cousin and I have our own climbers. We Mostly hunt public land so leaving a stand in the woods is not smart. We go together and hunt the same general area. Within a 1/4 mile of each other but we are never set up on the same field or view. We both want to get Deer.
Unless I was Hunting Private property where I knew Deer would be, I wouldn't use a blind.

would you guys ever both bag a deer in the same day?

denisSD 10-10-2012 03:42 AM

I don't like to hunt with others...I prefer to hunt alone and maybe only with my family members. https://www.rx247.net/cialis.html

Just do whatever you have to do to stay safe. If that means not gun hunting with someone so be it. Gun accidents take a loved one away and leave a scar for life on all those surviving. The "what if" questions never end.

ok hunting stand sounds like a good idea but what if you like chained it to a tree or somethung? cuase wouldnt you cause abunch of noise trying to put it up when you get there?

well it just depends....if you are hunting all day then its possible you could both bag a deer. You prob have a better then average chance of seeing deer doing this.
