Most of them have already been said. I would add one thing.

Anyone who has never been before.

I take more pride and have more fun watching somone else shoot their first(fill in the blank) than I do shooting my 100 and first.  :)

Heres my list.

1. Really hot looking
2. Willing to cuddle on cold nights
3. Cooks Great
4. Willing to hunt wherever you take them
5. Willing to cross tiny fallen trees over
   gaping chasms.

4 out of 5 aint bad.  The wife is my hunting partner and #5 was a flat refusal! Elk right on the other side or not she said no way.  

It probably didn't help that I was bouncing up and down on the trunk to show her it was stable.  The trunk was moving up and down about a foot or so.

1.  Good moral compass.
2.  Sticks to the plan, but knows when to improvise.
3.  Cheerful in all weather.
4.  Understands that it is a hunt not a contest.

Add actually shows up and gets in the truck and doesn't bring a bottle or a 1/4 pound of weed with him and you'd have my list.

I've had so many bad experiences with hunting partners I stopped trying. It's me and my wife Tracy or solo for this boy.

Thinking hunting with my friends Tom and Dave down in Homer might be the exception we will see after the Bears wake up. [/b]
Rick, I'll have to have someone to show me the ropes once I get up there. Don't give up yet.  :help:    :archer:

1. HUNT MORE THEN A 100 YARDS FROM THE TRUCK
2. NOT SCARED OF THE DARK
3. CAN BE ON TIME
4. STAYS IN SHAPE
THATS PART OF THE LIST

Heres mine #1 rule:If it aint your spot you dont go back w/o me!

#2 Just because its public doesnt mean you have to tell everyone where we're hunting.

#3 No smoking.

Doesn't come in from out of state, get in your favorite treestand that you graciously put him in, and then complain that the stand should be spun around to the other side of the tree.

Doesn't nit pick everything, like above, and think that his way is the only way.

Does it sound like I am speaking from experience? LOL!

It's hard to find a good hunting partner, usually they are like fish, after 3days they begin to stink. If they don't after 3 days you got a good one.- Steve
