Huntin' Buddies

  Our Story Your Adventure Related Subjects

Welcome to the Huntin' Buddies web site! We're a father-and-son team (Luke & Martin) who are very fortunate to share a passion for hunting and the outdoors generally. Instant bonding, effortless quality time!

Any parent who's ever gone through a "dry patch" when they just couldn't seem to connect with their kid (especially a teen!) will appreciate the blessing in our having such a common interest. When I get a sullen look from Martin, it's not because "we never talk" or "I just don't understand him" ... it's because he can't wait even one more day, we need to grab the dog and the gear and get out in the woods right now! I know just how he feels - I feel the same way.

We've put together this site for several reasons:

bulletFor something hunting-related to do together when we're city-bound
bulletTo share stories and pictures of our adventures and companions (we've been at this for a number of years now)
bulletAs a resource for any other parent/child partnerships - or anyone else, for that matter - who might want to embark on an adventure like this for themselves

Inside you'll find:

bulletA history of our hunting partnership, replete with lavishly illustrated stories of our individual adventures, a description of the gear we use, the kinds of game we've hunted and what we'd like to try next, our huntin' dawg, our wilderness cabin etc.
bulletOur best advice for anyone interested in discovering hunting - where to get information and training, safety and emergency preparedness, the right equipment for the outdoors, scouting possible hunting areas, getting permission to hunt private lands, etc.
bulletRelated resources and discussions, including hunting books we love (fiction and nonfiction), other good links on the web, discussion around issues like the right to keep and bear arms, pro-hunters/anti-hunters, and so on. We also include a way to contact us - whether it be to sound off or to ask questions. Finally, we include a place where questions we get the most (or which we find the most interesting) are reprinted along with our thoughts in response.

Enjoy your visit - and let us know what you think! Maybe we'll run across each other out in the field sometime, or even get together for an expedition.
