Go hunt it seems like you'll feel you're missing out if you don't, just be safe, as far as the friendship goes be patient things effect different people in different ways good luck with both situations.

I lost of few of my hunting partners about five  years ago. We all did alot of hunting and fishing together for about 10 years. We all hunted alone but would base out of the same area and had some great times. One fell to alcohol. One moved for work. The other had a boating accident. After his long recovery his whole personality changed. After the accident he became a different person all together. Not bad but different. I spend a lot of my hunting time alone now but I still fill that burning desire to go. Things can be different at times when your alone for days but I have found a fondness in the solo hunt.

I go at it alone. Don't let that stop you from getting out in God's creation and enjoying yourself.
Just be safe!!!!!

If you have to go it alone for a bit.....do it. Your friend may come around and if not you may find another mentor or friend to spend time with. Many, many years ago I started alone and if I had waited for somebody to go with I would have never gone. To me hunting is a very personnel thing and sometimes going solo only enhances that! I hope it works out for you........
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Historically I hunt far more by myself than with another; however since I've been mentoring some that percentage is changing.

I love the camaraderie when I get back to camp/home, but I almost always hunt alone.
