Yes I don’t disagree a bit! Although, it makes me think about my attitude a bit! Haha who doesn’t get bummed and call themselves names when they make a bad shot?? I’ve thought the same about horses and can’t help but wonder if I have less to offer than some people want from their friends. (Seems like an oxymoron or something?) I offer my hunting spots, which don’t suck, they’re just public land. LolFIM, I know your pain...I usually "interview" potential new hunting partners at a 3D shoot or Archery league. The way they act when they make a bad shot, or aren't shooting well gives me a look into their true personality.
This is a convo to have in the spring and summer...go scouting, shed hiking or Spring bear hunting with potential partners.
But I've found being comfortable by myself in the outdoors, only makes the group hunts better. Every Relationship Meme holds true for hunting partners as well. I've found having a killer camp setup, and a way to pack out meat (packhorses) is a great way to keep getting invited. Also calling skills and honeyholes help. Why do you think Beau Baty is @Big Fin's new best friend ?
I haven’t done a backcountry like backpacking camp trip since I was probably 11, through morris meadows, CA with my dad….
I’m too frightened to do that alone.
There I said it.
