Lone hunters ?

[Jakeemt]

I hunt both. I often enjoy going alone but, my dad is the best hunting parter I have and we have had some of the best hunting together.  Other guys I will take out cause they want a buddy and are casual hunters but, given the choice I would rather leave them behind and often do but, not with the old man we are too "in tune" to make it un enjoyable.

[Bjorn]

I like to share a camp and hunt alone for the day unless my son is along and then we hunt together.

[Orion]

I usually have another person in camp as well, but I/we hunt alone most of the time.  Will sometimes hunt as a pair on elk, one calling, the other in front, up wind 30-50 yards.

[Tater]

I don't mind sharing a camp at the end of the day, but prefer to hunt alone.

    I hunt and backpck alone 90% of the time, I love the solitude. My wife's not real crazy about it though.

I truly love sharing a camp with other hunters.  Most always hunt alone these days even out of a camp with others.
I also, though, love turkey hunting with others.  I truly get as much satisfaction out of working a bird for a buddy as I do working one for me.
If we're talking trad only, then it is me, and only me.  No hunting buddies that hunt trad.

[BWD]

Leave the home alone about 50% of the time.
Leave the truck, heading in a different direction from a hunting partner, about 50% of the time.

My Deer hunting is strictly by myself. Wish I had a Trad buddy to share camp with though.Would be fun to have someone to Turkey hunt with, and small game is almost always better with two or more.Still, I end up hunt by myself 90% of the time.

[DamselflyFarm]

I hunt alone just about all of the time, except small game a few times a year. Would like to have a hunting buddy, though.

By and large when I am serious about killing something I hunt by myself.  When I am just going out to hunt I often take a newby with me.  All of that aside the last deer I killed here in AZ I shot on a rainy day after church with my wife by my side.

I think most hunting is an alone experience, however it's nice to come back to camp and share that experience.

I prefer solitude in the woods....hunting, canoeing, camping, etc.   Other than my wife accompanying me in canoe and on camping trips...have only had a couple gentleman that I really enjoyed spending time with on hunts.  not their fault....just I like to be on my own schedule.

a recent PBS Hog Hunt in Georgia was first time I had spent time with someone around a fire or in the woods while hunting since maybe mid to late 1990s...

Mostly it is the feeling I have to be with them during hunting light...  The PBS hunt was great as I did not have to worry if they were on game, in camp waiting, or not enjoying themselves....all were experienced hunters so we could do what we wanted and then share stories around a fire.

Lately been getting family and friends into traditional archery....so might be doing it more as I help keep them interested....

all in all though...a few days alone in the woods helps to cleanse my soul....reset my body clock...and bring me closer to humanity while be far away from them.

keep em sharp,

Most always hunted alone, my time, my way and loved it. Times are a changing though, last couple of years my oldest son Briar 11 has started going a lot more and I really have enjoyed it, Ledge 8 is getting the itch and Creek 4 thinks he can do it all. My daughter Jacey 13 is every now and then talk about it but mostly just loves to shoot a bow. Yeah times are a changing for me, days alone in woods getting rare. Looking forward to some company, sometimes!!!

[LONGSTYKES]

I am a lone hunter, but I shared many camps with my Dad ( Passed on 12 years ago ), Best friend for about 45 years and still going.

I hunt alone 99% of the time, but often have a buddy hunting the same property.  We arrive and leave separately, but have discussed where we will hunt so as not to infringe.  After dark, always wait for the other guy to get out.  If we hunt on different properties, we call to be sure there are no problems.
