Just as choosing the right weapon, ammunition and hunting plot make a huge difference to your success in the field, picking the right hunting companions is also key. We’re not saying you should only hunt with seasoned woodsmen, but considering the survival skills of the rest of your party is important.

Establish your camp with hunters who have similar interests - that way you’ve got something to talk about when you’re resting or in the advent of weather forcing you to stay at camp rather than pursue game for a day. Similarly, don’t hunt with friends that can’t get along with one another - if your brother and your best workmate don’t see eye to eye, consider leaving one of them behind or taking two separate trips or you might find yourself refereeing the week away.

Finally, hunt with people who can make a positive contribution to your camp. Choose your camp mates wisely - make sure there’s more than one person who can start a fire, perform first aid and offer physical support to others in the group if required.
