"Huntin Buddies" can be more than two hunters joined together in a common hunting camp for an indefinite period of time, a day or years. Hunting camps can be temporary "Drop Camps" or more permanent fixed lodges. Huntin Buddies can be life-long friends, or two or more people meeting to hunt for the first time. Some of my more memorable huntin buddies have been those guys I met at a pay-to-hunt camp, where the hunt was usually limited to a week to ten days. I have also experienced the true bond of huntin buddie friendship that comes from sharing a week-long hunt with a professional guide. So, the huntin buddie idea is broad and inclusive. In fact, you may have your own ideas about your huntin buddies.
"Huntin buddies" does not define how a hunter hunts, There are plenty of hunters who prefer hunting alone, and yet are part of a group, sometimes called a "camp" of huntin buddies. Hunting camps are replete with hunters whose individual methods and hunting preferences differ. However, there are huntin buddie relationships formed because two hunters share a passion for a "particular kind" of hunting method, such as bowhunting.
The concept of huntin buddies is as old as the human race. Our primal human task of survival was successfully negotiated by hunting, and by forming buddies, groups, families, communities and tribes. It is doubtful that the human race could have survived without groups of hunters coming together for the purpose of providing food for themselves and their families. History records these hunts through primitive pictures on cave walls, and hunting artifacts. The pre-hunt ceremonies and the post-hunt celebrations are also well documented.
"Huntin buddies" are import for any number of reasons, none the least of which is safety. Hunting can be a dangerous endeavor, and a huntin buddie can be a life-saver when accidents occur. Second, hunting can be an expensive sport. Hunting buddies often share the financial load. Third, sharing events with others often satisfies a deep human need to communicate and carry on the "story" tradition. Forth, involving children in the hunting community, by making them our huntin buddies, is one way to spend quality time with them and ensure they have an opportunity to forward the hunting legacy.
So, the purpose of this new blog is to celebrate the legacy of huntin buddies.
