99.9% of the time I hunt alone except for this year I'v had my son with me most of the time and wow I've learned the meaning of  patience!!!

I hear that as well!! My daughter cant stop fu@$&^% around!! I have to tell her everytime we go for a walk, the elk/deer dont show up on the ground, you have to look in the woods! Then you get the thumping on the ground because they are not paying attention to where they are walking... But it has to be fun, or they wont think its fun.

been moslty hunting bymyslef since my dad died and like it but camping and such sucks by yourself. which is moslty why I'm looking for someone to hunt with, but I like most here love being by myself in the outdoors.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

I do it alot and like it.  I like not having any limitations and just being able to do what I want.  I do hunt with people as well but generally that means me taking off before light and not showing up until dark and telling them to radioe if they need something.

Usually
lots of folks like to talk hunting not everyone actually goes hunting, or get out of their truck

I said always but that will change next season.  My Daughter will be hunting with me and, unfortunately, we will be rifle hunting.  :(  She want's to bow hunt but I need her to learn a few more things in the woods so she is not distracted when she hunts with a bow.

I've been hunting alone since my Dad died when I was 15.  Now 54.  Hard to hunt with some people, just haven't found the right partner.  They seem to be few and far between.  I will be hunting the Nile next week.  I will have the 5th wheel at Sqaw Rock Resort again.  A guy from my area may join up with me after Thanksgiving Day, but didn't make any committment.  So, I hope I run into some elk there.  Good luck to anyone else heading down there.

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

Otherwise I would use most of the reasons others have stated.
I can go where I want when I want,instead of staying in a dead zone,or going somewhere that is real popular at work.

It will be interesting to haul a bull out by myself.If I kill one
