I don't want to hijack the thread so if this is off base, let me know.
For those of you who tried this type of hunting with a previous unknown partner, looking back, what warning signs popped up prior to the hunt? If it turned out to be a good experience, what do you think made it "successful"?
I know I'm not a perfect hunting partner for everyone, sometimes I don't even get along with myself
. There are surely those on this website that could and would out hunt me, go longer and harder than I ever thought, any day of the week. Hopefully, through the process of talking with someone, that would come out. I'm pretty honest about my expectations and abilities, both physically and mentally. No doubt, physical and mental stress can make a person crack.
I didn't start this thread but I do enjoy reading the replies.
