Who Elk hunts SOLO?

[runamuk]

My first two and only two elk hunting seasons...I hunted wetside with Lokidog part of the first season and then on my own...I havent had time or money to hunt elk really since then....

group camp solo hunt in a general area , If I have a buddy with a bull tag I will team up and call . I found that when calling alone make a move at the last minute and then shut up so yo dont get pined down.

I hunt solo and with partners. When I hunt solo, I am more careful about how far in I go.

Same here. I used to hunt solo for years because my hunting partners were either deceased or were too old.
You need to separate hunting solo as going into the woods alone versus having a hunting partner in camp.
I define solo as camping and hunting all by your lonesome.
BTW. I had to stop due to back operations and old age. I have found a hunting partner and now camp and hunt with him.
If we get an elk, I will be of no help. I can process the elk, but that is about it.

If I don't hunt solo, I hunt with my 11 year old

I hunt elk solo but my wife does not like it. I have a common problem and that is finding an quality elk hunting partner who is willing to put in the preseason work and put into the season what I put into it. I have a great deer hunting partner who is willing to work his butt off but unfortunately we don't elk hunt together because he enjoys MF elk season. That seems to be another issue I run into when trying to locate a quality elk hunting partner is most elk hunters I run into like to hunt MF for elk. I enjoy hunting solo but sometimes it is nice knowing someone is around to give you a hand if you need it. I am still looking for a quality elk hunting partner to hunt the wynochee, satsop, and other coastal units.

I hunt with whoever wants to go as long as they dont give away my spots and they know how to hunt... preferably i like to be alone but it is nice with elk especially when u want somone 75 to 100 yards behind you so that nice bull walks right by you for a shot

First time I have even purchased an elk tag (usually just buy the deer, bear and cougar) so I figure it'll be a solo year this year, and to be honest I figure if I happen to stumble on one it will be PURE LUCK.

i usually hunt alone since "deerslyr" went to montana for college.  but my brother has the same approach as me so now i hunt with him. but i really like going allone every once in a while.

[billdo5]

[zackmioli]

mostly hunt alone. me and bigmayn from this site have teamed up the last couple years for a few days at a time or at least camp together and hunt the same general area. prefer hunting alone but camping with others. wouldnt mind teaming up with someone who can call so we can help each other out!

I usually hunt alone for everything, including elk.  Sure it is a pain in the butt when you get one down and there are advantages to having another person but I got tired of unreliable partners.

Yep, that

I hunt alone......to the sound of George Thorougood

Solo for 20+ years.  The right partner could change that though.

I hunted with my dad for twenty years, now he is 70 years old and basically retired from hunting. So I'll hunt solo until my daughters get a little older and then it's my turn to pass on all that my dad has taught me. My dad and me tried hunting with differant guys over the years brought them into our camp, we never could find anyone that was dependable or not a mooch. So it was just us and we liked it that way.
