Yeah, I know it's safer with a partner but no one I know hunt's and honestly I wouldnt trust hunting with them if they did, lol. I mean the area isnt that bigand it isn't like goinginto thewoods with bears where you can get lost really eaisly.I think the whole area is 5k acres and onlysome of that is used for hunting. As for big bucks, there isn't to many of them on Long Island and my dad would help me when he came to pick me up.
