Shankl-do not despair. Hunting partners do not come by every second day...really good ones-the keepers, may come by every 10 years.
Crossbow hunting is generally-as bowhunting, a lonely affair.Many ppl would not comprehend group hunt-with reason.Bow hunting and crowds do not mix well.
Be patient,and keep in mind-many many old hunters already have their buddies(the keepers-the "not so keepers" and even the "so-so" ones).By raising Your hand You may never find someone to team up with.
Do some search,get involved,make friends.

Just be aware-not every friend is a true one.Be ready to lose more friends ,then gain "keeper"friends.

Thank you gbk, great advice

Join at rod and gun club? Make friends there with common interests. It would be a start.
I'm very hesitant to bring new people with me. It seems to never work out. Now I only bring kids with me. They seem to want to learn.
Welcome to the hunting community.

I understand it's hard to go such a situation with someone you don't know, I used travel to UK and Australia when I was in the 20s with people I never knew them, I was lucky and I learned alot, Brons and cons...

Maybe go to the public lands that you are thinking of, see if there are already hunters there,
Ask where they are hunting as you dont want to step on their toes,
Ive met a few that way, but bow hunting is some what a solo affair
I go with my son and he alone now, too many issues with other people and a big difference in ethics, like people not hesitating to Trespass,
