Just reading the thread on the Elk Hunting forum regarding "I might be running out of hunting partners" that was started by Rock Chuck.
We used to have a "Swap Hunt" forum. But it got overloaded and eventually discontinued. Or maybe that was another forum?
It occurred to me that we might consider a "Seeking Hunting Partner" forum.
Take reasonable precautions. Swap information:
describe your hunting experience,
describe your general health and physical condition,
what kind of hunt are you looking for?,
what are you looking for in a partner?,
something about gun safety, etc.
What do you guys think?
Risky?

I might be interested. My hunting partner got a job offer out of state he could not turn down. I haven't found a suitable replacement yet.
An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

It's worth a try,
My hunting partner has hit bad times both personally & professionally, and lost another because he didn't like killing anymore ?
I mainly bowhunt/gun whitetails, hunt Ohio, Illinois every year...looking to add Missouri or Kansas to the list.

I'd consider hunting elk, deer or antelope down south with a fellow Fire member. Have a good amount of NR points in CO, NV, UT and WYO. 55 Y.O., Getting into "sheep shape" for this fall's Alaska Range hunt out of Tok. Generally just try to stay in shape. 40 years hunting experience in AK. Have multiple pairs of broken-in hunting boots

KC, We used to have something like that here for fishermen. It was a Yahoo Group called ReelFishermen. A typical post would read something like "going under Haulover Bridge at 7 a.m. Help with gas and bait. PM for instructions to meet at launch". Unfortunately, the group died out slowly after the founder passed of cancer a few years back. Geat guy. RIP, brother.

Solo hunting has it's moments, but with hunting and fishing I have way more fun with a good partner or two. I think I need to go hunting with muskegman.

KC - I think it to be a helpful idea worth a try, especially for those new to areas or who have lost old pards.
Almost always I have hunted solo (simply the preference). But, have enjoyed some very special hunting times with a few good fellows.

I've seen a forum on another site that had this, and it was pretty successful. Lots of people hooked up that way. The forum would need rules though, such as hunt swap/hunting partner only posts. Otherwise it just turns into a place for people to lease hunts, or sell hunts. No money involved would need to be a rule. It just keeps things the way it was intended.

After too many times waiting for others to show up, I prefer to hunt and fish solo. You wanna be late, cool, if it's your ground or boat, but that's rarely the case for me.
I'd swap an Osceola for a mule deer tho

For me shared hunts are an outgrowth of a friendship. Not interested in awkward situations with strangers.
