RE: I may be a lone hunter
Sounds like you had a great hunt! Hunting with people can be fun, and it is nice to have someone to share the experience with, but I definately, definately--oh, and did I say definately?--see more animals when I am hunting alone. I don't mean am in the woods alone, but that there is noone else to think about talking to later, or meeting up with at such and such a draw at what ever o'clock. Alone puts the total focus on the task at hand. Can be lonely too over a few days, but that is also a unique part of the experience.
