Possibly looking for a hunting partner!!

I am toying with the idea. I normally hunt alone and for good reason.My luck with hunting partners in the past has been frustrating.However i know there can be some advantages to hunting with another person. I have lots of property to hunt so im not looking for somebody to reveal their spots to me. Im looking to hook up with someone in a similar situation so we can both make the most of hunting oportunities.

Criteria!!

You must already have land to hunt! If your looking for someone to show you their spots cause you dont have any of your own move on cause it isnt happening!!

Must be mature, ethical, safety contious and respectfull of others.

Must be reliable.

Must LOVE to hunt.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in PM me. We,ll chat, maybe have a coffee and hopefully develop something beneficial to us both.

Happy Hunting.

You sound a bit negative, perhaps even douchy. No wonder you hunt alone.

Good luck though. :)

Far from it ! I hunt alone by choice, other than the moose hunting group im in. If i,m douchy for not wanting to take someone to my spots only to have them start showing up there behind my back doing stuff like leaving garbage behind or shooting at everything that moves and ruining it for me than so be it. It took me 5 yrs to build a repor with the land owner and get access to all his properties.I now have acess to 375 acres of land and i,m not about to throw it away. Ive read too many stories of people who have taken others to hunt their spots only to be burned. I also dont want to waste my time hunting with people who are unreliable and careless. Been there done it. Hunting with others can be quite enjoyable. It can also be downright dangerous. So i thought i'd put it out there , but if it doesnt pan out than no biggy. Your entitled to your opinion but judging by your comments you sound like just the kind of person i,m NOT looking for.

Your comments although for the most part true, kinda come across as a guy with a glass half empty. I too have access to thousands of acres of private property but I choose to find my partners thorugh word of mouth and friends. Rather than coming on an internet form with a bunch of demands. Welcome to the forum, and good luck in your quest.

I don't think the "criteria" is unreasonable, just the delivery of message a bit off-putting perhaps. Behind the tone of the OP's post is a somewhat generous offer though, so, welcome to the forum BC! :) Remember.... potential "takers" might have the same concerns, and are equally wary of you and their own land.

How do we know you not just looking to take their spot's ? ;)

I have tons of land and occasionally offer to take someone out after meet them.

Just your negative attitude gives me bad vibes.

Starting a friendship / partnership with a long list of rules and demands rather than meeting and determining their qualities may be what's throwing people off. Being new here, people don't know you or your personality. It may be best to strike up conversation and align yourself with people you seem to agree with.

You are criticising him,with out actually reading the content of his post and understanding it ,

I am toying with the idea. I normally hunt alone and for good reason.My luck with hunting partners in the past has been frustrating.However i know there can be some advantages to hunting with another person. I have lots of property to hunt so im not looking for somebody to reveal their spots to me. Im looking to hook up with someone in a similar situation so we can both make the most of hunting opportunities.

he already says that he has lots of property and looking for someone in the similar situation so they " can make the most of hunting opportunities."

Yes but the way I interpret his comment is he doesn't plan to share his land but want's access to someone else. Maybe if he had worded it differently with a different tone. But his intent was to come off as extremely aggressive and rude as possible.

Just by his attitude he would be the last person I would show any land to. But eh to each his own.

Lol. Idontthinkso.
I dont think the op was douchy. Just strait forward. That was a generous offer and I hope it works out well as it sounds like a good opportunity. I mostly hunt crown land near Vankoughnet for bear, grouse and ducks and private for deer close to home on small properties otherwise I would love the opportunity offered by the op.

Same here. I think laying out a basic criteria for a hunting partner is the right way to cull out a lot of quasi-serious hunters.

Everything was looking good for me as a partner until I got to the mature requirement. Rats!!

What is it that you do not understand by his statement ; " so im not looking for somebody to reveal their spots to me. "

By being straight forward , HE IS BEING CRITICISED !

why knock him.... if you want to hunt with him contact him if not ignore him

I agree the OP sounds a little off putting. Offer would likely only appeal to desparate people as I have a hard time believing that anyone who already has a place theyre hunting would bother to take such a risk. Get rid of all the Must this Must that. Youre trying to be in a dominate position but when youre not offering anything, its not a good way to start a relationship.

I see it as a genuine request. I see a couple of issues though.
- You do not mention the species you want to hunt together. Important, since, for example, some people have bird land, but no deer land.
- You say you are not after anyone's spots and will not show yours. Sounds honourable, but then where would you actually hunt together?

Nothing wrong with the original post, posting criteria is great too.
I don't know why you guys are against a fact of the matter post like that?

The only thing I don't like is you'll never know how sincere the responses will be on internet with pseudo names....

This must be another episode of 'Housewifes of the backwoods'.

LOL

No offence but this guy is scared of his own shadow. Lighten up buddy - hunting is - among other things - about friendships and good times. Not only about the chase and kill - ooops - "harvest" for our liberal comrades.




:)

He laid all his cards on the table,,,,,,,,,,,,,he wont make a good car salesman,,,not smooth enough,,,,,,,,,does his land belong to someone else,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have 10000 acres of crown land,,,,,,,,,,,,????

Kinda sounds to me your looking to get someone land. Maybe you don't have land. Possibly your the one unreliable. Who knows, just sayin.

Your interpretation , is not how I read it and what it means ,[ I say Tomatoe , You say Tomahtow ] to each their own !

He did specifically state , " I am not looking for some one to reveal their spots to me ", cannot be any more clearer than that.

LOL you girls make me laugh. Anyone actually corresponded with the guy or are you happy with gossip and innuendo?

You guys are ridiculous. Arguing over something so stupid. Get off the Internet and do something productive.

Just trying to get my post count up close to "greatwhite's" he has 12,996 verses my 3,768 . lol :silly::)

I did, went to look for a violin, couldn't find one so I got a haircut instead!,:D then I stacked firewood for most of the afternoon and went a scouted " geese " for tomorrow.

Hilarious thread!

"Must be mature, ethical, safety conscience and respectful of others."

I don't know if you'll find many on here with ALL of those traits.( Just kidding gentlemen :) )

Well I'm ethical and safety conscience and respectful of others. Hmmmm the mature part I'm sure my wife and others would debate that.

Im not mature enough.

But i'll gladly hunt on your properly - youre not far from me. ;)

I have a 1000 acres,I could use another partner!

As a newbie, I am just looking to wander in the woods and learn from an expert. I have no land or spots, so I do not qualify. I was hoping to accompany a family friend but due to his age and health, he may not be going out again. I think my best bet is to find a local club and attempt to make friends.
