Yeah, there's a lot of trial and error. Have eliminated a lot of potential hunting partners in one or two trips over the years.
I tend to have several hunting partners, depending on the type of hunting. If I'm hunting big mule deer then it's very limited, but if hunting some other stuff, whether pronghorns or birds, then it's less limited.
Luckily, my wife really likes to hunt, and we really don't care who gets the game. She's also a good hunter and shot.
Her physical capabilities are different than mine, but we have a lot of common ground. Often we've even gone to the same drainage and she'll hunt the creekbottom for whitetails while I hike up higher for mule deer. And I get to pack out her moose for her when she draws Montana tags (I never have).
