I am always trying to get my buddies to hunt with me, but seems like all the military guys I ask don't bow hunt.  If you are in need of a hunting partner, I may be up for the job.  I live out of Roy...stationed at Lewis.  Granted, I do have an 8 month old son that demands a huge chunk of my time, but every now and again I am able to get out.  Thankfully my wife likes the taste of wild game more than beef.

Let me know if you still need someone.

Hunting alone I have done good but just as well with a partner or newb but usually alone love to have people at camp and elk hunting partners are helpful even cows an calves are heavy.

I normally hunt alone.  This year, I will be taking my 9 year old out with me.  He'll be doing the calling.  We'll see how that turns out.  ;)   He's pretty good at the basics but, the little chirps and tweets and voice inflections, he's not gotten down on what to use when.  Basically, grab the horn and blow is where he's at right now.

I always hunt alone to. Many great encounters with only me and the Elk! Still like to share a camp with my buds but never go out in 2's.

:dunno:
I usually hunt alone, but going to try hunting with someone this year.
I have always hunted alone for elk with the bow.  I'll be hanging with someone this year, hope it works out for both of us.  By yourself you can stop ands take a nap anytime/where you want to.   ;)

I might have to make you take a nap while we wait for a wind-shift.....
Although, after meeting me at camp, you might decide to head out on your own..  :chuckle:

I'd much rather hunt alone, but once in a while I have to take along a buddy. I'd take advantage of that private land if I were you, All by yourself.
To God alone be the Glory!!

+1 Good Luck !
I had a friend that bragged all year about getting to go hunt on some private property once......
After he showed up in camp a few days into the season, we asked him "what happened"
He said that they spent the first day chasing tresspassers off the property, after they got rid of tresspassers, the elk were gone too !!
He said it was great to finnaly have the property to himself....but he wished the Elk were there still.......

I hunt alone but I sure like others in camp.  Hunting alone and camping alone is hard on the motivation sometimes.

I'll be hunting alone. I really need the time by myself to think and decompress.

Good luck to all!
