I just joined a few days ago but have been to this website numerous times in the past. Been following Randy and OYOA since it started - love the show. I looked over alot of these threads and am impressed with the info shared by everyone - very cool.
I put together a DIY elk hunt every year and have a good group of guys that go. We have done pretty good in recent years but it takes a bit of planning.
I'd be interested in joining forces on DIY hunts if anyone has a good idea. I've hunted PA, OH, NY, TN, AL, WY, CO, ID, Quebec, Ontario and have a few contacts in those areas. I'd like to do a spot/stalk blackbear hunt and have some info for both spring and fall hunts in AK. I'd also like to do an antelope and/or mule deer hunt in WY.
Full disclosure on a couple of points: I don't drink in camp. I'm not opposed to having a beer but had two really bad experiences with camp drinkers. Not to get into details but I had a friend that will never go hunting with me again because of his drinking antics. I have no sense of humor with camp drunks. I'm also family oriented and take members of my family with me on occassion. Don't see the need for or humor of four letter words in every sentence. Also expect everyone to pull their own weight. Been on a few hunts with people that don't - they normally don't get invited back.
Enough with that.
Any ideas for DIY hunts?

Saying "hi, let's hunt together, stranger, but let's be damn (oops, four letter word, damn, oops again, gosh....) sure you do everything my way or the highway" just is not sounding like an inviting start to joining forces what must be a give and take relationship to be workable. My application is not forthcoming:W:
