I hunt by myself almost exclusively. Wouldn't mind teaming up with somebody for elk, but is hard finding a good hunting partner and trust them with your spot - goes both ways of course.

Hunt archery elk by myself, usually to wierd of a schedule to set up anything definite with others.  Do miss the camping part with others, had fun rifle deer hunting with a couple guys from the site this year.  Still trying to figure out what to do for wetside elk this late season....  Had a great spot on Long Island but missed a couple years and two years ago there were a bunch of guys where I had been alone for ten years.   :'(  Maybe I'll try it late season this year.

I don't have a choice, I cannot find anyone willing to put in the time and miles I do without complaining about it.

Been doing alot more hunting by myself the last couple years. Most of the people i hunted with either switched to archery or cant get time away from work.

So far, I've only been successful when hunting alone.

I grew up hunting alone, and I still love hunting alone. But being the father of two boys changed that. I now have a responsibility to the sport and more importantly to my boys to take them in to the woods and "show them the ropes". I know my father liked hunting alone. But he took me along. In my later teens he often stated how proud he was when we would go out on a days hunt and he wouldn't see me again until nightfall. My oldest son is getting more and more independent and he will one day be a "lone" hunter. The younger one has a fierce independent streak It won't be long and I will be back to hunting alone.

Nobody can stand being around me that long. And if they can, I don't trust them with a weapon.
