I'd hunt with anyone on this forum if they can safely handle a firearm and didn't vote for Democrats.

Without a doubt I would choose Happy Myles.

not quite sure who but I know you (bioguy) live in my neck of the woods and know quite a bit about animal behavior and seem to understand deer well. Also I seem to agree with the majority of what Jamesti has to say. It's no fun in the woods if you are out there with someone you can't stand

I'd go with PigHunter or RES1956 so I wouldn't have to buy an out-of-state hunting license. They seem to know what they're talking about.

I'd go with turkey hunting Beekeeper to see if some of his knowledge would rub off on me, and I might be able to talk him out of some of his tupelo honey.

Edward J. Palumbo. He strikes me as a sincere, considerate individual not given to boasting or exaggeration.

I think most of the posters on this site would be ok to hunt with. That said , it would be fun to hunt with someone who was just taking up hunting. I think to be able to teach what you know is a gift. Dont know if santa hunts all that much, but would like to fish with him, or just make a big ol pot of gumbo. Firstbubba and I seem to think alot alike so maybe him. Pighunter and 99explorer are two others who come to mind. Let me end this the same as I began it, really wound not mind hunting with most of the people on here.

I would probably hunt with first Bubba, he seems to know a lot about what he is talking about and I like his insite.

i would hunt whitetails in OH with deerhunterrick. nice guy, helped me out with a muskie problem...

id like WAM to put me on some elk.

wouldnt mind if RES called me in a nice alabama eastern.

firstbubba and i would have an enjoyable afternoon over a dove field i believe.

last i want to play a round of golf with sarge.

Too many to list, and I would hate to offend anybody by not remembering them. I'm sure that I could learn a little something from many of the long-timers on here.

great question by the way

Anyone that is hunting in the snow, I have only hunted in snow that stuck a couple of times, and it is a blast. Obviously, Happy Miles goes on exotic international safaris so he has a unique wealth of knowledge and a great attitude. I drank 2.5 gallons of gatorade/water refurbishing my Ol' Man's four wheeler trailer and I can't wait for cooler weather. Hunting in the cold is a real treat for a Southerner, just not too cold. I have to admi

Most of you guys probably think I'd talk too much if we hunted together. That has been a problem but usually only if I have had regular coffee in the morning. Then I often can't stand myself. Keep my drug free and I'm tolerable. Pighunter probably thinks I voted Democrat but of course I can't vote in US anymore.

I would like to hunt with many on here, even some of the folks who probably don't care for me much. RES would probably be at the top of my list. I'd really like to see his dog-handling skills in action. I worked in New Orleans for a while just before Cathy and I were married and travelled through Alabama. Lovely state with great folks. RES, as far as I know old game violations will not bar you from crossing the border (that offense is in a class akin to traffic violations) and they don't do a background check for game licenses. Just bring a current resident game license from Alabama as proof that you know which end of the gun to point. And make sure it is one you can replace easily when you return because they now insist on taking the original. Guess the MNR has had trouble with licensicng agents forging documents. So when are you coming? We have tons of grouse around here to and I'd love to show you some of the watery backcountry. Or perhaps we could connect for a bit pheasant hunting.

I'd love to go elk hunting again and WAM and his buddies would be my choice for that.

I have never had the opportunity to mentor some fresh blood in this sport. I was once a HS teacher and coach. Very, very much enjoyed it and would like to try it again in hunting.

Oh, and I would go with ANYONE who could show me how to bag a tom turkey.

OHH, i would be happy to put you on some gobblers if you ever make it down this way.
that being said, i would hunt with just about anyone on here. i'm just used to hunting by myself.

My travel partners and i were taken aback by the hospitality buckhunter extended us and awestruck by the evidence of his past successes. Great dude who can seriously hunt. Hope to hunt with him again. there are quite a few guys from the northeast on here i'd like to hunt with. Out west idahooutdoors, wam, sourdough dave to name a few. too many to name really.

Dave Petzal, or myself.

007, Mason County. You're from the eastern part of the state correct?

Hunting with Sarge would be like having a spare conscience:-)

Sarge01... I'd hunt with you in a second. I respect anyone who has dedicated their life to wildlife conservation and would be honored to spend time with you. I have enjoyed your posts and feel a hunt with you would be a great experience. Since I try to follow the law, I don't think being a conservation officer would get in the way... LOL!

Just beat me to it Jay.

Thanks, WVboy. What part of God's country do you hail from?

Bioguy, you'd be on my list too(northeast) but i don't see a GA hunting trip in my near future. Work taking you there? My wife is about to go from part-time to full so I'll really have to pick my days the next couple years. I guess there will be plenty of deer left to hunt when i retire, assuming hunting is still legal then. Or maybe they'll outlaw retirement for public service workers.

I didn't think that anyone would want to hunt with me. A buddy of mine told me one time that hunting with the Conservation Officer was like sleeping with your sister. Thanks WVboy.

FirstBubba, Waurika WMA is quite a bit west of me. I am in Eastern Oklahoma out toward Lake Tenkiller.

According to my map, about 250 miles, mesarich!
Ever navigate the MKARNS any distance? How's the fishing along it and is navigation with the barge traffic much of a problem?

Bubba

FirstBubba, barge traffic isnt too bad. Good catfishing, especially below Kerr Dam. There are some areas where you can catch bass and even some good size walleye. The lower Illinois is one of the best trout and striper rivers in the state. Hows the fishing out your way?

Waurika has hybrids and sandies with good numbers of blues, flatheads and channels. In the spring it's primo for crappie. Especially along the rip-rap. Caught several last spring in the 14/15 inch class!
Rio Rojo is down to a trickle with the drought we're having. All lakes are VERY low.
Just had a BIG die off in a local, small town,"water supply" lake. Probably due to extreme heat and oxygen loss.
You can still catch pretty good stringers of crappie in deep water. Can't fish past noon. Too everloving hot! LOL!!

Bubba

I'll second WAM's comment on 007, Carney and Sarge01. Sorry I forgot to mention you gents the first time.

James, your on! Where the heck are you located? I presume you're talking spring hunt? Goose season opens here on the first of September and though hunting is okay early, it doesn't get fabulous till October. So, go quit your job and get on a plane!

Too damn bad this forum doesn't have a private message option. I haven't chased many blog sites but it seems to me this is the only one I have looked at without that option. Darn shame.

Bio, Have a daughter going to school in Athens GA. Am down there often. Great place.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to you Ontario Honker but was on a short vacation. I live in the southeastern corner of MT, and like most of Montana this past winter was real bad. That being said I have been seeing quite a few birds, not a whole bunch yet as they have just started harvesting here. I would say that the bird numbers will be down some, but that hunting should be good. Not many pheasants down here, the cutoff line is about 18 miles north of where I live unfortunately they just don't seem to last down here. I enjoy eating sharptails, I even like eating the prairie bombers( sage grouse)but tend to favor hungarian partridge as table fare. As for ruffies, it has been a decade since I walked the logging trails of Minnesota waiting for a thunderous flush.

Moishe, you and I can get together to burn some powder at a skeet club somewhere, I think I can still catch a High 2 a third of the way to the center stake and you can show off that relic of a m/32 Rem. LOL

AJ McClure, Mountain Hunter, and 007.

And since no one else picked 'em, I 'd get a kick out of fishing/hunting with Hoski or Rock Rat. Why not?

Well, it's pretty good for a couple of weeks. Over in Manitoba is where it is ridiculously "great." It is kinda neat to see that many birds working the air but to be all done shooting in twenty minutes isn't a big thrill for me. If it's busy, I'll pass quite a few shots at forty to fifty yard range just because I want to make it last. The perfect day for me is when it's slower or geese are spookier and I have to work for my birds. Then I'm more likely to take the longer, harder shots. In any event, if either of you guys come up, don't expect to burn up a lot of ammo. But you can probably expect to shoot your limit. Most of the time anyway. Had my dogs down to the park for a swim and some retrieving yesterday and they went ape on me. I was not happy! I'll need a week or so to get them back in the groove.
