I bow hunt mostly by myself or with my hunting buddy and/or neighbor. Not much private land here in NJ, but I have some. I/we bow hunt about 7-10 Saturdays in the fall and some late afternoons when I escape from work early enough to get home before dark. Shotgun hunting I do the same, but more with my old hunting buddy as the private land is land that he secured.

Although it's neat to hunt with a buddy and trade status reports on what we saw or did not see...I do prefer some hunts to be by myself as it's more peaceful and less disturbing by not having another body in the woods spooking deer.
