While your preparing to cook he collects firewood without a word being said.
When he says I will gut your deer this time and help you drag it back.
He says "here let me gut that for you".
Wish I would have been able to see usmc's answer before I pu the same thing!
When you don' have to wake up an extra hour early just to go wake up your buddy and still be set up in time.
when u dn't come home with buckshot up ur ass
When you wake up in the elk camp tent it is warm and the horses are saddled. If he is a great buddy he sat in the frozen saddle to warm it up for you but most folks have trouble enough warming their own saddle so that is not expected. Like Jim in MO said the firewood aspect is very important since in the wilderness we can have no motors which equates to a handsaw. The firewood warms you twice, once while cutting and the other when burning.
When he gives the be prime spot to hunt.
When you make a mistake, he tells you how you can be better, and then gives you crap instead of the other way around.

What your sure that he will be by your side nomatter what happens in field.
When you do not have to schedule a trip. You know each other well enough to know that he will show up on time or be ready when you show up. He will have his gear and some extra in case anything breaks. You do not have to ask him for help with food plots or blinds or etc. He has never watched you clean an animal because he was helping.
Probably the easiest way to know is when you are just as excited about his kill as he is.
You arrive at the deer you just shot and there he is with a bunch of bags of perfect cuts of meat, and a mounted head.
I agree with everyone espcially guting your deer for you that is a good friend
I good friend shares his TP when you run out, in the woods there is no more valuable commodity and none that is more needed when you don't have it.
Golfing Sporstman,
LOL, this last deer season I realized the 1/4 roll of TP I've had in my backback was four yrs old. I thought it was a time for a change.
I hate people who are late. If I'm not 1/2 hour early then I'm late.
Cook breakfast and dinner
I knew who my good hunting buddies were when i shot a big one 5 miles from the truck. The ones who weren't with me came in to help. Some other good buddy qualities...they show up with beer after the kill, put you in a good stand occasionally, or pick up the blood trail after you've lost it.
When your hunting buddy doesn't share your spot with his or her friends...!
you teach each other what you know.. Loves to kill animals as much as you do..
whats with all these "he" hunting partners... for a start... "she!" could do alot to be a great hunting buddy, but just having an atttractive female hunting partner who actually hunts, AND could possibly be a relationship... haha, then you got yourself a hunting partner!

bowhunter352,
Having a she hunting partner can be great, but it also makes it tough get out of a warm bed in the cold morning!
he's more concerned about you getting your tag filled than he is about getting his filled.
A good hunting partner doesn't talk politics nor NCAA basketball while together in the field?
When SHE stays at and tends to camp.
At the end of the day you all can return to camp, laugh and tell great hunting/fishing stories. Getting along and humor is the best attributes a hunting buddy can posses.

When he makes so much noise, he scares the game your way.
Someone who cares about hunting and wildlife as much as you do.......
someone who wants to learn from you and help you to learn at the same time.
Someone who will be genuinely happy for you when you are successful, and who can rest assured that you will do the same for them.
he offers to let you take the first shot.
