Heartbreaking. A man's worst nightmare. Sorry.
Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?

I am in my late 60's and have lost a lot of hunting partners over the years. Most were much older than I. Great friends and hunting buds. All but a couple have died and some don't hunt anymore. Perhaps a dozen years ago I was lucky enough to hook up with my current hunting partners. They are 10 to 15 years younger. I went from the youngest to the oldest in camp. I can still hold my own but when the time comes they will cut me some slack . Finding good hunting partners can be tough loosing one is harder.

That's a terrible thing to have happen. My sympathies.

My hunting mentor died many moons ago, my great uncle was the guy who would drag me out after school to drive for him. Learned many things from him, good and bad, I think fondly of him often. My father in law was a pretty good hunting partner, always up for any adventure, try to show me up, I miss that bugger so bad, we never got a chance to elk hunt together.
My current hunting partners are three of my very best friends, 2 of them I met from HBC, the third, my wife delivered to me 20yrs ago, my son. I am lucky to have had my life touched by many good friends, hunting partners, family, and I try to help people out as I progress through my hunting career, as others have helped me. Moosin

And here I was "feeling pissed off" with my self, cause my best friend and supposed "future long" hunting partner
keeps bailing on me, year after year, for those few short weekend hunt in the month of November.
(Every year he keeps telling me "it's going to be different, and he is "good to go" for the upcoming season,
"all in"...yada yada, but then.....nothing, no call...gone)
Because of my current situation, affordability/physical, "on my own" won't work.
I was lucky to have a father, my true best friend, to have had countless of great years and memories, always
dependable, and just as full of passion, if not more.
But age has brought this to an end....
I know many here have had similar experiences, hunting with a parent.
And others, who have also had friends bail.
I read some of the hardships of other's....
But, especially yours ACE, puts it "back into perspective for me".
I truly am sorry for what you endure each year, everyday, and especially on the "past memories" time of season.
Most people can understand, but, when you become a parent, you can then relate even more so.
What could go wrong
Really, a good thing, wow,messed up
