I was bored at work tonight and got to thinking of all the bow hunters past and present I'd love to hunt with. So name three hunters, past or present, you'd like to share a remote camp with for a week or so.
-
John Rook(he's blind), Biggie Hoffman(he's, ummm, Big! and he takes a joke), and Ed Ashby(He's killed more game than anyone I can imagine with a bow). All three for distinctly different reasons and completely different personalities. They are all so distinct in their composition. All three great hunters who all have heart! CK
-
I'd like to have one more hunt with my dad, (he's laid-up in an old folks home and only gets to hunt in his mind these days); 2. the brother I never had. 3. Finally, based upon the message delivered in the movie called Primal Dreams, I'd like to have the privilege of hunting with the Wensel brothers. Their concept of only taking of the excess of the land sits well in my soul.
-
1.My Father (Passed away when I was 9)
This post just reminded me.
I do remember him taking me coon hunting one night once with my stopper gun, I was probably 5-6 yrs old....
WOW ! Thanks For the memory! :thumbsup:
Wensel brothers or Fred Eichler either of these would be awesome!!!!
-
My father who I took on his last hunting trip before he passed in 1981. My brother who I look forward to sharing camp with every year. Ted Nugent, even though he hunts with wheels, I would love to share camp with him.
-
1. My dad cause we have never took a hunting trip together YET 2. Norm Blaker and 3. Ron LaClair because I have always looked up to these guys ever since I saw them shoot ASPRIN out of the air at an outdoor fair in Houghton Lake Michigan when I was just a young kid. That is a great memory from my childhood.

Teddy Roosevelt
My 3 year old in the not to far future.
Pick just about any member here and I'm good to go.
-
Well if you hunt with either the Westvang's or the Otto's, you'll eat good. I'd like to sit around a fire and listen to Torges and the Wensel's carry on a conversation. I have shared a fire with many others here, including John Rook (Even though it wasn't during a hunt) and I'm better off for it. A hunt would be great.
:campfire:

Well, I am reading Fred Bear’s field notes (3rd time) so I would say Fred and Glen St Charles with out batting an eye. I hunted the Brooks Range last year, which was an area Glen hunted in I think 1957 just before the Little Delta hunt.
My grandfather never shot a deer but always wanted to. I would have loved to take him along to deer camp with my dad, uncle and cousins. I joined my uncles annual/biannual (depends) deer camp about 5 years ago. Our grandfather died in 1991, I started bow hunting in 1996 and harvested my first deer in 1998. He would have been proud of me and he would be glad to see us keeping the family tight by our deer camp reunions.
I have a couple other good hunting partners now. My friend Bob Tastsides (Yeager on LW) and I hunt together a lot. Fred Kasch is a guy I would like to hunt with more, I think it is basically up to me and my invitations. Fred is 93 or 94 now and a great guy, in great shape. We hunted in 2005 and I harvested my first Trad deer. Last year was a good hunting year but for some reason we did not hunt together. I hope we get our signals straight this year so we can have a few hunts together.
I have posted this picture before but I want to share my buddy Fred w/you:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/bfisherman11/th_3Amigos2.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/bfisherman11/3Amigos2.jpg)
The one hunting buddy, I forgot to also mention is my dog Robbie. Typically, he goes to my place in WI when ever I hunt, so he is someone I like to hunt with too... LOL he sits at camp, does not get out much.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/bfisherman11/th_Robbie1.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/bfisherman11/Robbie1.jpg)
Long answer but Mr Bear and Mr St Charles are at the TOP of my wish list. Would have been tough to make the 1957-58 Little Delta hunts and the 1959 hunt I was 3 months old..... ;)
Based on that and that they already had a "Bill Wright" on that hunt, I am not sure I could have gone. :D
Regards,
Bill
-
Paul Schafer.
-
1. My son Dustin Who passed away almost 2 years ago.
2. My son Lance who quit hunting and shooting when Dusty Died.
3.Any Tradganger!
-
My two sons...Chris and Nick
-
1. My wife when she takes her first shot at her first trad deer.
2. My Dad who I've only hunted with once before.
3. Dale Dye, after speaking with him on the phone several times, he seems like my kind of people. I think he'd be a hoot to hang out with..
-
Kevin Stamps (My son who hunts with me all the time. No one I would rather spend time in the woods with)
Fred Bear
G Fred Asbell
-
Anyone who can appreciate the hunt for what it is and enjoy all the aspects that are involved. I treasure ethics, a positive outlook, an appreciation of game we are after and the country we are in.
Most Trad Gangers qualify, and I would love to hunt with as many as I can!
-
It's kind of hard to narrow down but I am like BillW, Glenn St.Charles and Fred Bear are definates. I have some good friends, including my father, whom I love sharing a camp with. But Paul Schafer, Jay Massey, Art Young, Monty Browning, just to name a few. I guess it would depend on the day.
-
Ishi
-
I've been fortunate to hunt with my dad every year since 1966. I could pick alot of tradgangers to hunt with as they are top notch and hope to in the future. But if I could pick just one from the past taht everybody knows and that would have to be Ishi...
-
John Nail you beat me to it by two minutes... Great minds think alike!
-
Hand down my Granddaddy, Left us when I was in the 10th grade, I miss him still...and anyone on lightly snowed field and cut over corn field for phesants... :) ...with my son Mason with me!! :D :wavey:
-
Why dream? Tomorrow's legends are here now. Get out there and hunt with as many as you can. I have hunted with at least 50 members of TG and will add a couple more to the list tomorrow morning at a southern Iowa rabbit hunt. Who's to say whether the next "I knew him when..." is not Mr Vic, Littlefeather, Wingnut, Charlie Lamb or the yet to register TG member nuber 12,000?
-
Howard Hill....
Littlefeather....
And anyother Trad Ganger....
-
To name three for me would be impossible. There are so many that come to mind. My Dad and my hunting buddy since birth steve are the two I would say If I had to but after that it is very tough. Fred Bear, Paul Schafer, Wensels, Steve H,Charlie Lamb, Guru, Terry Green,8th Dwarf.......I guess since I dont have enough room to type everyone on tradgangs name ill just use those dots to replace all the names I havent mentioned yet,and many more that I can think of. I also agree with Nakohe Ted Nugent might make for a fun hunt.
-
If it were family it would be my grandfather who passed away several years ago, my father and my two sons.
If it were TG members well thats a tough one but three just off the top of my head would be:
MikeG, Littlefeather (CK) and Guru, just because I really like what these guys are made of. You can see it in the things they write and the way they speak of others. Especially when the topic turns to family. What they write in these forums is who they are.
But by no means is that the only 3, there are many here that I would love to spend time with around a campfire :campfire: or at a table so that I could walk away and call them my friend.
Rick
-
My son (age 4), my daughter (age 2), my wife(not allowed to ask/say). All are well on their way to being deadly with their trad bows. My dreams will be a reality someday soon!
-
This is really hard... but I would have to say
1) Curtis Kellar (when I move back down to Texas this Year), Terry Green, Charlie Lamb
2) Fred Bear, Saxon Pope, Ishi
3) Ted Nugent, Barry/Gene Wensel, Fred Elchler
I know you asked for just 3 ppl, but like I said that's hard. PLus there is so many Members on here I would like to hunt/camp with too...Hell just pick anyone from the board I'll be happy to hunt with them..
-
Of living bowhunters, I would like to hunt with Barry Wensel, Chuck Adams, and Uncle Ted.
From reading Barry's posts here, articles over the years, and seeing him in videos it's clear to me he would be a plain hoot to share a campfire with. I could learn a ton from him at the same time.
It's a fair assessment that few people know more about bowhunting & archery than Chuck Adams. Again, a guy could learn a ton from him.
I was ND State Director for Ted Nugent United Sportsmen Of America for 10 years. In that time, I got to know The Nuge fairly well, but we never got around to hunting together. Controversial? Yep. Shoots from the lip? No question. But also dedicated to the sport, passionate,knowledgeable, and fun to hang with? Take it from me, you'll be hard pressed to find another like him.
In regard to those who have passed, I have to include some that weren't primarily or only bowhunters. The list would be Teddy Roosevelt, Peter Capstick, Davey Crockett, and Paul Schaefer...
-
Hard to pick only three but I'll have to say
Paul Schafer
Paul Brunner (I hear he's quite the cook!)
Don Thomas, deffinetly one of my favourite writers
Of course it would also be nice to share company with the likes of the Wensel Brothers, Monty Browning, Howard Hill, Fred Bear, Earl Hoyt, Pope and Young, Aldo Leopold, Glen St. Charles, Dennis Kamstra, and many many others
-
Too many to choose from. Of course I would go with my current buddies, but I am going with them anyway and I thank the Gods for such friends.
I would, in this life time, also like to meet and hunt with many others of like mind, and mostly that means TradGangers.
Some of you have more credentials, face it...everybody knows the Wensels, and Too short, and Biggie and Curtiss...and... and... Of course it would be neat to get to know them all better. I envy those that actually get this opportunity.
But for every one of them, there are a hundred just like me, who, like me, are known by only a handful of people. I think there would be a ton of knowledge and comaraderie passed if more campfires were shared. This appears to be happening more and more lately, spontaneous hunts springing up. I think this is a good thing.
ChuckC :campfire:
-
Fred Bear
Davy Crockett
Daniel Boone
-
Sasha Siemel
Jay Massey
Ernest Hemingway
-
VERY hard to choose only 3 but here goes:
Vernon McClanahan. He kept me in the woods or on the water thru all my teen years. He's been gone for 26 years now but I still think of him often and all the times we had. I owe him lot's.
My son who's a senior in HS now and has everything else on his mind but, I'm sure he'll get back to huntin' with dad someday.
My cousin Jay aka 'jdc'. We live in different states but hunt together as often as possible.
-
My Son - passed 15 years ago (he was 22)
My Dad - passed 11 years ago (he was 71)
Some of those guys in Tom Mussattos squirrel hunting videos I bet would be a hoot. Maybe even Tom hisself
:bigsmyl: :bigsmyl: ...Van
-
Jay Massey,
He was the real deal,
Adam
-
Aside from my son when he gets old enough, I would choose 1 Paul Schafer 2 Fred Bear 3 Either of the Wensels with Fred Eichler in the mix.
-
My father in law who died in august, Howard Hill and any and all other trad gangers. On a driven Pheasant hunt out west were there are birds. That would be a blast.
-
G. Fred Asbell
Ron LaClair
Bill C. or Ishi
-
This is an easy question for me to answer. Fred Bear on the Valiant Maid with Ed Bilderback and Glen St. Charles hunting for bear. What more could a guy ask for?
-
My 2 Sons (which I do hunt with)
My Wife if she would start hunting again like she used to.
As many Tradganger's as possible.
To me, everyone out there has something special to offer if we just take the time to watch or listen. Whats in a name is not so important as what is inside of them.
-
Robert Ruark and his Grandfather ( The Old Man and The Boy )
Monty Browning - enjoyed his solitude articles in TBM.
-
Well, here's a great hunting camp: 1. My son, the Apache Longbow pilot. 2. My good friends P.E. Forte, the professor and Rich Kearney the Irish storyteler. 3. E. Donnall Thomas, the camp medic. 4. Fred Asbell, the camp bowsmith. 5. My lovely wife Rita, who will feed us all until we can't swallow no more. 6. Saxton Pope and Art Young to show us what real Traditional Archery is.
-
Any of the Trad Gang would be welcome in my camp and the coffee is always on.
-
No way that i could keep to just three people....too many great memories. Daddy and Grandaddy......My son's.. Chris, Justin and Caleb......My bud's.... Bozie and Rick !
-
My DAD, Ron LaClair, Monte Browning.
Eric
-
My Dad and my buds Curt and David. I like these guys and the huntin' is just a bi-product. Shawn
-
Jesus first, My dad, next who passed when I was a young buck- he didnt hunt, and Ishi.
Jesus- to see if'n I was doin alright,
My dad just to share a campfire with him,
Ishi to thank him for being so unselfish.
-
James Kroll
Chuck Adams
Sitting Bull
-
I'd like to hunt with my father, mcgroundstalker, and Fred Asbell.
-
My father so he could see what bowhunting really is.
The guy I have hunted with for the last 3 years. Charles is an excellent hunter and one who gives up far more tha he takes. Example. 2 years ago I got deathly ill during elk season and couldn't hunt the rest of bow season. It just so happened I had a sheep tag(ewe) but was far 2 weak to do it myself. After trying several times with a bow, Charles and I went out with a rifle( my fathers faithful 30-06 my only rifle) and I got my sheep. He knew how weak my legs were and after dicing her up he thru it in his pack and said here is my coat and my rifle I'll meet you at the river( about a mile below us) and off he went. He wouldn't even take any sheep meat and I know he loves it as much as I do.
After that it is Dan Toelke. I hunted with him last season and would do it again in a NY second.
-
My son Joseph that has other things on his mind, he`s 20. My grandad thats passed on .I`ve had the blessing to have hunted with a lot of tradgangers and look forward to future hunts. I realy enjoy hunting with Mudfeather aka Keith Bruner,John Bookhart, Jeff Holchin, John Pardue and Lance Coleman.RC
-
Can't wait to hunt with my 2 sons (Ricardo & Marco)!
But I would also love to meet and hunt with Mr. Fred Eichler. I believe his excitement is for real. I know he is a great Role Model for traditional Archer's across the globe.
-
1. My dad who I never went bow hunting with. He has passed and as far as I no never shoot a bow of any kind. Would like to have shared this with him I think he would have liked it.
2. My sons who I hunt with often, but never feel like I get to spend enough time.
3. My grandchildern who are all a little young right now, but I am looking forward to sharing this trad experience with each one of them and hope that it somehow sticks.
-
Easy-of the people I never hunted with:
1-Will and Maurice Thompson(two for one deal I hope)
2-Jay Massey
3-Paul Schafer
All in one camp either on the St Johns, the Moose John or the in wilds of Montana
Of the people I have hunted with before:
1-Dad
2-Dad
3-Dad

I'd love to hunt with my late father again, Howard Hill, Jay Massey, other hunting notables, many trad gangers. I guess three ain't enough.
-
Yeah, I'm having big trouble narrowing it down as well.
I'll go for alive and dead to make it easier :-)
Alive:
1. Ron La Clair (there would be a canoe involved)
2. The Wensel Brothers, I would just hope some of that deer mojo would rub off on my clothes or something
3. Any Tradganger kind enough to take a newbie like me under their wing.
Dead:
1. My grandfather, for sure -- he hunted to feed his family through most of his early years and I would love to have been there, bow or no.
2. Ishi -- I figure a couple years or so with him in the woods I'd probably start to get a clue.
3. Howard Hill -- cuz, well, he's H.H. LOL

Reading the thread saw names like Monty Browning, Dean Torges, G Fred Asbell....
My club (Appling Archers) is putting on a shoot this April. The grand prize is a 3 day hog hunt WITH our guest host in hog heaven (swamps of low country SC). The guest host include the names mentioned here and, Tom Parson, Dave Roose(Founder of Christian Bowhunter ofAmerica), and Cliff Hunting. As well, these guys will be doing various seminars and stuff. Check out the web site: http://www.applingarchers.com/festival.html
Go ahead and get your registrations in... this is a pre-register event and we are going to have to limit it at 800 this year. You will not want to miss this one.

OK, I've given this thread some time but times up>
Since Curtis and ChuckC are the only ones that want to hunt with me, I hereby extend the inviattion to come hunt with me on my place in south Florida. Oughta sound good about now to a Wisconsin boy :-) It's 70 degrees down there right now.
I'll pick you guys up at the airpport and take care of everything after that. 2 or 3 days killing hogs and eating southern cooking. We'll get Marty McMahon to come and keep us entertained. He's a riot and cooks like a chef.
Now aren't the rest of you guys sorry you didn't say you wanted to hunt with me? :-)
-
Biggie, FLA. is just to many doughnuts away from my camp in NY. or you would have been first on my list. :bigsmyl:
-
Ethan Rodrigue
Jeff Cumberworth
Russell Lantier

Set the dates Biggy! CK
-
Bob Swinehart
Jay Massey (Did it once. Would like to have been able to do it more.)
Don Thomas
-
Dang, Biggie you were gonna be #4! ;o)
-
My third choice is Biggie Hoffman so we can eat Campbell's soup and talk about someone we know who really would eat Campbell's soup on a hunting trip.
-
1.) My father
2.) My father & his buddy George
3.) My father, George, and Fred Bear!
-
Paul Shafer
Jay Massey
Still with us:
Ray Hammond
Terry Green
Biggie Hoffman
Greg Campbell
Joe Coots
Robert Carter
Joel Smith
Ahh Heck just about everyone here!!
And Steve , I think you and Biggie could find something better to talk about than Shoeman!!

Not for nothing, Biggie, but I think most of us listed TradGangers as well. So...in essence,we did say we wanted to hunt with you.Ergo, I think you can expect roughly 10,000 folks to accept your invite. :bigsmyl:
-
No no Aaron....that dog won't hunt. You guys had your chance..........
:-)
-
I tried ,fellas. And failed. :(
The rest of you get down there and have a ball !! :)
-
Ishi,
Will Compton,
Jay Massey.
-
1. Dad
2. Daughter
3. Little brother
Bob
-
Biggie knows me I'll just show up at the house and say lets go!!!
-
The first 2 people come to mind very quickly for me. They are my Father who has past away 11 years ago, my son Andrew who will be old enough to hunt next season and because he and my Father never had a chance to meet.
I suppose the third person that I would like to share a hunting trip with would be my friend Paul. Even though he shoots a cross bow because of medical reasons. He used to shoot all sorts of bows when he could still draw them. Paul took me under his wing after my Father passed away and has taught me a lot about deer hunting and learning about the outdoors. He has killed more deer than anyone that I know or have known.
-
Fred Bear
Jay Massey
Ron LaClair
-
My "whitetail camp" would be -
Roger Rothhaar, The Wensel's,my friend Donnie.
My "western camp" would be -
Fred Eichler, Larry D. Jones, Dwight Schuh.
My "turkey camp" would be -
Denny Sturgis Jr., Darryl Quidort, Bill Langer.
-
My children Alex, Daniel and Melina and wife.
After that hunt;
Fred Bear
Paul Schafer
G.Fred Asbell
Jim Reynolds
-
Gene Wensel, Barry Wensel, and Ken Beck
-
mine list would have to include,
the Wensel Brothers, Paul Schafer, and Fred Bear.
I know this is 4 but, I don't think anyone would argue with me......
-
Jerry Pierce
Chet Stevenson
Will and Maurice Thompson
If I could add one more...Paul Schafer.
-
Tiffany Lakosky
-
The Wensel's.
-
Paul Schafer
Fred Bear
Saxton Pope
Still around:
I have checked a few off this list over the years.
Curt Cabrera for whitetails
Joe Coots
Ray Hammond
Terry Green
Doug Campbell
Bob Walker
Gene & Barry Wensel
And a bunch more but i'm way over my limit. I hope to mark some more off this list in the future.
-
My Grandfather. He was born and raised in Michigans UP back when it was REAL wilderness, and he lied about his age to get into WWI at 16. He was a true woodsman and taught me so much in the short time I knew him. He died when I was 13, but I spent summers with him from about age 9 until then.I still carry his knife. He defined "Man" for me.
-
Biggie...Thank you ! SOMEDAY I would love to take you up on an invite like that. Chasing hogs and eating southern vittles sounds awful good right now. I am currently at work in Romania and probably won't be able to free up the time real soon however. I haven't killed a hog yet and would love to someday. Oh well..
Some day.... invitation goes both ways ya know. I have no wonderful property of my own, but I have spots for "up north" whitetail deer.
Later
Chuck
-
My children Alex, Daniel, Melina and my wife. Like to show them what all the fuss is about.
:campfire:
After that hunt;
John McDonald
Jim Reynolds
G. Fred Asbell
Paul Schafer
Jay Massey
Fred Bear
-
One more hunt with my Dad, who passed in 2015. My daughters, and brother. I’d love to share a camp with the Shrewhaven crew, and Steve Turay, as I’ve become a very big fan of his bows, and can talk with him for hours.

Just found this awesome post and I'll readily admit that I didn't read all posts (yet). While I would truly enjoy hunting with many of the past and present legends of our sport, I believe I would choose to spend 3 full days hunting with 3 individual anti-hunters. I'd love to have them experience a long, quiet walk in the dark and a peaceful, expectant sit awaiting daybreak. I'd enjoy seeing the look of wonder on their face while hearing and seeing the magic of mother nature springing alive all around them. An informational Q&A conversation around a campfire lunch would be sweet. Next, a sunny, yet cool, afternoon walk through the Michigan forest and a restful sit until dusk just might help motivate a spiritual change of heart. I'd most likely pass or intentionally miss any shot opportunity for good measure. Ending each day with some good venison jerky, a not-so-short glass of bourbon and a farewell handshake or hug would bring a warm smile to my face and heart. I'd most assuredly take sufficient time to reflect on each encounter while savoring my second glass of bourbon.
-
1. Definitely my grandpa. He and my dad were the ones who introduced me to hunting, and since dad usually had to work on week days, grandpa was always the one waiting in the driveway at home when I got off the bus. I killed my first deer with him, and I'm extremely thankful for that since he passed away the following spring.
2. Fred Eichler. I love his shows, and he seems so genuinely excited about everything, whether it's a monster buck or a doe. He just seems like he would be a fun guy to be around, and all the people I've talked to that have met him say the same thing.
3. Fred Bear. Who wouldn't? If I could be even more specific, it would be on his Little Delta hunts. (That way I can kill multiple birds with one stone, since Glenn St. Charles would be there too. :thumbsup: )
-
Jim Dougherty, Fred Bear, G Fred Asbel, the Wensels.
-
Dennis, I like the way you think. :coffee: :thumbsup: :bigsmyl: :campfire:
-
1) my dad. We bowhunted constantly together. Still wasn’t enough to suit me.
2) Paul Schafer
3)Barry and Gene Wensel
4)Fred Bear

Damfino! I'm not sure I could find three willing to hunt with me. But I'll try.
1. Gregg Dudley - I met him years ago when I first drove down to TBOF events, and we have been friends since
2. Biggie Hoffman - he lives just up the road a few miles, and he's a pretty fair archer and a nice guy
3. Steve Turay - a nice guy who shoots well, makes great bows, and he appreciates fine Scotch
-
:dunno: I'll hunt with anyone who will have me.........hopefully it would lead to more great things. Those who are gone.........Fred Bear, Dean Torges and maybe Howard Hill........The list could go on and on........... :notworthy:
-
Well, no one any of you would know, just some old friends who are mostly gone now but I still have the memories.
:campfire:
-
I've made lifelong friends with guys in camp I wasn't sure of early on.
The Lord can surprise you with people who can change your point of view and open your eyes just by sharing a campfire and a meal with someone at hunting camp.

Of course Fred Bear. I think a hunt for Elk or Grizzly bear with Paul Schafer and Bart Sheyler would be awesome. :archer2: :archer:

They just know “stuff”

Don Thomas and Jay Campbell. I blame / credit their writing for my return to traditional equipment.
Marty (Akdd) Rinke. He has been gone almost 2 years now, and his generosity made my lifelong dream of hunting Kodiak Island happen.
My uncle Leon. Now in assisted living and has severe Alzheimer’s. He was my first bow hunting partner 42 years ago. When his health took away his ability to hunt or shoot he gave me the Damon Howatt Hunter he carried into the woods hunting with me so many years ago.

You just don't realize what you have until it is gone, both family and bows.

With five grandchildren, a son, daughter and son-in-law, I'm in good shape for hunting partners until God says I'm done here.

Paul Schafer and Bart Schleyer.
Lost both way to soon.

Best answer!!!

I would really like to hunt with the Wensels also Fred Eichler but most of all Fred Bear.

I started to mention Paul and Bart , then I got to thinking about all the working out I would have to do to keep up.

While I could probably name some of the icons, I’d pick my Shrewhaven crew day in and day out. Those guys are as good as they come and they’re like family.
-
I’m no idolizer of other men. I just don’t think anyone is more special than the next. Doesn’t matter what they accomplished. I’d pick anyone safe and sporting that respected the game and the sport.

I think it would be very interesting to hunt with Byron Ferguson. I have had the opportunity to visit with him for nearly an hour and he is very entertaining.
Ron LaClair would be a good choice also.

My dad, Calvin my 2 year old son, and Monty Browning!

I would hunt with my brother Jerry who was killed in Viet Nam February 20, 1970. I still have his bow, a Bear Kodiak Hunter, 58" 45#. He bought it new from Bear Archery Center on Leonard Street, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
-
My Dad because I miss him, bless his heart he was a terrible hunter but he could kill, you had to put him where he needed to be.
Paul Schafer because I think he is one of the greatest true hunters that has ever been and nearly super human as well as a humble guy.
I'm thinking maybe Kevin Dill, because we share a lot of the same philosophy's and experiences. But we both tend to hunt alone so that could be problematic.

I'm the only bowhunter in my clan so that rules out my family.
1) Ishi
2) Art Young
3) That feller in the leather vest with the recurve in Deliverance :biglaugh:

Hunting is not only a way to spend time outdoors, but also an opportunity to strengthen bonds with loved ones. Hunting partnerships play an important role in ensuring mutual support, participation and understanding. Choosing a hunting partner is a personal decision based on compatibility of interests and experience. Openness to unusual types of hunting, which you can learn about from post https://www.agmglobalvision.com/unusual-types-of-hunting (https://www.agmglobalvision.com/unusual-types-of-hunting), can bring new impressions and unique experiences, allowing you to expand your horizons and rethink your approach to the hunt itself.

My Dad and Grandfather didn't bow hunt, so if I had a model 94 I'd go with them.

I might have to bump Ishi for Mike.

My grandfather again. I remember our last rabbit hunt together. I’d give anything to be able to do that again.
Live person it would have to be the Wensel brothers. Bet there would be plenty of laughs along with some serious hunting
-
My main hunting partner is my Dad.
However, hunting with either Barry Weasel or Gary Logsdon would be top on my list.
