No question, some our longest (and unfortunately, shortest) friendships are with the people with whom we hunt.
EXCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS AND RELATIVES, what is your longest running hunting friendship.
I have a friend with whom I have been hunting for 23 years now. For some it is not always those we have hunted with the longest because life has a course that will bring separation for a new journey as we grow older. From relations lost to starting a new family, to the eternal arrival in the Happy Hunting Grounds and new friendships gained along the way. Bonds with those we hold dearly, those we accept as family from relations, friends, and hard working companions we call dogs. The memories spent in the Great Outdoors are those that I hope to never forget for those true bonds live on in my daily experiences pursuing my passions we once shared. I reconnected with my best friend from high school in 2008 and we are reliving the past, making new memories and we both Thank God for bringing us full circle after thirty years. There is not a day that goes by that I do not honor those, especially my labs, that were apart of my hunting/fishing memories no matter how short or long and for me they will always be with me in spirit so that would make it 38 years.

About 27 years with my brothers. 24 years with one of my best friends. I consider myself very lucky.

6 of have been on the same lease for 30 years. And I bet the only time someone new joins your lease is after a death or someone moves away. Such is usually the case with the very best leases.

I've hunted on this place for about 13 years but the group has had the lease since 1961. Places usually get handed down through the families.
Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Read the first post, family does not count, eventhough I know who your are talking about.
