is any one hunting alone this year?

[hillbilli]

I'll probably deer hunt on Whidbey by myself, and so far it looks like I'll be going out for elk early season by myself, I'll probably just get out for a few days.. (if I get back from the middle east in time) i dont mind it, but sure is nice to have help once you have one on the ground.

I'm hunting with my father for both deer and elk this year. Trying to call in a bear and cougar I'm solo... You ever think you're season is completely backwards? Or maybe this solo predator calling is a bad idea? I'm trying to grow eyes in the back of my head right now.

I am calling bear by myself this year as well.  Despite  talking to everyone at work, none of them are willing to go with me.  After much debating in my head, I decided to put up a tree stand.  It just seems a little safer than having a boar charge you in the thicket with no one to watch your back.  Despite the tree stand, cougar still scare the hell out of me.  They are so dang sneaky!

  I hunt alone after I pack in 12 miles with the horses. Only way to hunt. Killed 4 bulls and a cow in the last 5 years doing it. Just cow call to locate them and shut up and get close. Practice shots to 60 yards. Asunimg you are bowhunting.

Actually hunting with someone or sharing a hunting camp with somebody are two entirely different things. I enjoy the company in the evenings around the fire once in a while but also enjoy the solitude. I have tried physically hunting with someone and it has never worked out, call me selfish but the act of hunting is my time.

  Success or failure is best when I can only blame myself.

I hunted and camped alone last year. It sure makes camp lonely, but I didn't mind the solo hunting at all. I did take one fall that had me wondering if they'd find me a couple years down the road, but made it out after all.

I hunt alone most of the time.

I've gone from more solo hunting to more hunting with a partner. So far this year I have no immediate plans to hunt on my own. I've never killed a big game animal hunting solo.

I generally hunt with a buddy 1) im still kinda new to it all 2) its cheaper 3) buddies help pack stuff out 4) friends are are part of hunting.    however hunting by yourself is nice when its just gotta be you, the critters, and mother nature.

I had the most exciting time dancing with a bull last year when I was hunting alone. But, I still miss the evening drink and chats in camp, and the wake-up coffee with my bud. Hunting camp is best shared with a good friend over a campfire.
