[deerless]

37 year old man from Calgary looking for a bow-hunting partner / partners.

I am hunting white-tail and elk, mainly in WMUs 314, 220 and maybe 406. I have no draws, just general tags this year.

I will be hunting on foot. There are a couple of public-access spots in 314 and 220 that I’ve hunted / scouted in past seasons, but they are foot-access only. Not planning on any overnight backpacking. I own a small 4x4 pickup but no quad. I will be using a bow during Sept and Oct, and will switch to a rifle for Nov.
I am looking for a partner (or partners) who have been successful in bow hunting deer or elk at least once before. I’ve learned a lot in the past few years, but there is still so much I don’t know about stand & blind placement, trail-cam placement, calling, scent control, etc. Also interested in a partner for safety reasons – I’ve had some sketchy back-country encounters.

This will be my third hunting season. My previous two were not successful for deer, but I had several close calls. I’ve also bagged about a dozen ruffed grouse.

I am single with no family commitments, so my schedule is pretty flexible.
