oohhh a dating site for outdoor Bromances.....LOL....
I have often used the criteria; would I be able to spend 3 hrs in a canoe with this guy before I'd be looking to stuff rocks in his pockets
It's not always easy to find someone who you can enjoy your time with. I'm fortunate that I have two close buddies that I enjoy time on the lake with and being retired has the benefit of being able to go out anytime.
I'm also 'on call' for a few other guys who just need the 2nd set of hands at the boat launch. Short notice outings after dinner on a nice evening.
So far it's been a slow summer for fishing, haven't been out yet...but the canoe is ready !!!

Careful with that one. Dogs can stab you in the back as quick as one of our town councillors. Buddy was telling me about the cops visiting his neighbor for a simple traffic accident across the road. Apparently this guys dog came running out of the house with a ziploc full of.......dill weed. Yeah that's it.
How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

I have been lucky enough to hunt with a few members off this board and have met some great people and had some fun hunts.
My gf calls this site e-hunter.com and she thinks its hilarious i have met dudes off the internet, but its a great way to meet people with like minded interests, and atleast you can have a fairly good idea what theyre like from their posts.
A seperate forum area for this purpose is a good idea, but has been mentioned in the past and still hasnt happened.
My name is BOWJ..... and I am a waterfowl addict!

(was i wrong)
i took a guy i happened to meet at the store downtown..
we used to set and drink coffee and shoot the breaze
i took him fishing and it wasnt too bad. he was alittle
bit off ,but then arnt we all.so when hunting season came around
i invited him to go south and hunt with me. i picked up the tab.
all he needed was his gun ,cloths,and such.
everything started ok at first untill we got to our hotel
he was ripping his bed apart looking for bed bugs..i was like ok
well that isnt too wierd.then i ordered pizza because i had just drove
a couple hundred miles and was glad to be out of the truck. first
he complained there wasnt any hot peppers on his pizza..but he
didnt ask for any when i ordered it. then he borrowed the truck to
get something to drink,,he came back with a case of beer, now i
dont mind drinking setting around the motel..but i did ask that he not
drink while we hunted.the next morning i couldnt get him moving
because of the beer and pain pills he had took.
the second day we hunted till noon and came out of the woods
and we went to a store i knew that sold gormet deli meats and such
i picked up a couple pounds of in house smoked ham,and rolls some
chips and some soft drinks..he complained i didnt get any mustard.
we were in the store drive so i told him if he wanted mustard to go in and get it
so after we hunted that eavning i stopped to my ex brother in laws to visit
and my brother in law uses some rough language at times. my friend was upset
that my brother in law was swearing around his daughter. and at the motel
told me he didnt think it was right and that he was upset. i didnt know what to say
i couldnt tell a man in his own home to not swear, what could id do!
i decided to end the week long hunt, to a long weekend hunt,and come
home.on the way home he felt the need to tell me my 03 silverado was a pos
after we got home and i cooled off ,he came by one day to visit. i had to tell
him we were not compatable to be hunting and such..i speak to him ,but that
is all.

My best friend and I grew up together in NB, he moved to Ontario about 8 years ago. He loves camping and we always camp together. He's not big on fishing but likes the occasional fish for a meal. He also doesn't hunt but likes to target shoot. When were camping we now bring are own canoes and canoe around together. He doesn't care much for hunting but might start hunting grouse this year he like to call them "Tasty little birds"
.
My wife calls him my other spouse. The two of us have built trucks together, camp, hike etc. We don't have all the same interests but we work around it and it's a trade off. I trust this guy with my life since we were kids. We don't have all the same interests but we make trade off.
I have also met and hunted or fished with a few fellas off this site and all were great people we just live a great distance apart.
One of the most notable who I met and he took us out fishing this summer was a retired CO up above Sudbury, my budy caught his first Walleye. Another fella I met outside of Ottawa is a from the USA down. I use this forum to network and learn (and also argue about Politects
).
There are lot's of opportunities on this site to go fishing and hunting with other people.
Sometimes finding someone to "fit" in your group takes awhile. My best friend and I are still looking for someone to join us on our camping trips and we have yet to find someone.
