I like going to deer camp with the guys I hunt with,although I lost my last to hunting partners due to old age.I love going back to the camp at the end of the day and hearing about what everybody saw during the day and telling them what I saw,but I have always done much better when I hunted alone,not antwhere near the other guys.We used to try hunting in the same ares,thinking that maybe 1 guy would move deer in front of someone else,but that was rarely the case.We tried controlled drives and we would see deer,but most times,because we hunt BIG woods,the deer would be sneaking away,out of range or it was unsafe to shoot.When I hunt by myself,which I've had to do for the last 2 seasons because I dont have any hunting buddies,I always do better.Last year I shot my biggest racked buck and saw twice as many deer as I ever have before.The year before,I shot a nice buck in an area that most of the guys I used to hunt with,always said didnt hold deer when the shooting started.So hunting alone works for me,but I miss the comradery of being in camp with the guys that you (I) enjoy being with.
