    Actually he is not a member. All I wanted was some advice and guys being guys turned into brokeback mountain thing.
    I responded to it to show I can handle a joke and not be defensive.
    Back on track my friend.

    Maybe im getting old... WTF does “catfished” mean?

    OP: Don’t overthink it. I hunted ducks tons with one guy I know, and we got along great. We did a multi day trip after a couple of years of that, and I couldn’t ever do it again. The whole trip was fun, but the hunting sucked. We didn’t share any sort of similar styles in the woods. Even people you know fairly well won’t end up being the best hunting partners...

    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

He turned it into a phuckin therapy session. My advice is to have a "clean exit" plan somehow. Don't have it setup where the 2 of you are stuck together. Maybe have motels and means of transportation mapped out in your head in case it's time to ditch....know what I mean? I honestly would of gone on a small trip with him first to see his personality but I know it's hard since you live far.

    It would be an added expense, but would there be any way to do a weekend opener for deer around Quesnel just to make sure you both gel?

    Mostly because I'm liking people less and less......
    This is how I feel.

    And this is how I would also approach the situation.

    Just don't go hunting with a guy called "Boner"
    That's a little suspicious.

    I took a couple Albertans on a tough goat hunt about 15 years ago. Had spoken to them on the phone a couple times. That’s it.

    My wife asked what I would do if they turned out to be a couple jerks.

    Told her I would leave them in the mountains and come home. Fortunately they were good guys. We killed a goat and a bear and I’m still good friends with those guys. Our kids are even coming on hunts with us now.

    Sorry had a good chuckle about leaving them on the mountain.
    One never knows how it will turnout eh!? Do you have any advice for me?
    I'm leaning towards going. My wife hasnt said go or not to do it. Majority of the people seem to be leaning towards going.
    Eric seems like a great guy . It's me who is aprehensive do to my lack of experience.
    Thank you
