My brother and I want to go hunting together. I noticed that when you put in for a general season permit online, you get to a page that asks if you want to put in together with another person. I didn't have any of my brother's info with me, so I didn't complete the application, but what kind of information am I going to need to fill out this online app if my bro and I want to hunt in the same area?
I've never put in as a group before but from what I can gather you will only need his hunter safety number and the same type of info you put in for yourself like name, address, age etc...
What are you'all applying for? what area?
Thanks. I kind of like the southeast area. I know that area somewhat. I also know the central area, but not quite as well. It's been awhile since I've gone, and things have changed since then---I last went in 2000 and for a variety of reasons haven't gone since. But I want to take it up again before I get too old and decrepit. I turn the big Five Oh this year, so I'd better get started again. :lol8:Quote:

I'm thinking I might try somewhere in there, but my goal is to find a place that's hard to get into--not a lot of access other than by foot, and then hike back in there and try to get away from other people as much as possible.Quote:

What I plan on doing is some scouting and finding the least accessible area that has deer, and hunt as far back in as I think I can drag a deer out. Since my brother has now canceled on me--I may be alone, or he might still come, just not hunt, so then I'd have a helper to drag one out. Then again, Kirt Darner in his book How To Find Giant Bucks talks about how people go right past deer looking for the "high country" and miss out on some great opportunities. So the key is scouting for sure.Quote:
