Its nice to hunt with another person that shares the same values about hunting as you do. There is annoying parts about it too. Like the one spot on a 60 acre plot we hunt that seems to always have a buck within 70 yds. Well we found the spot and I can't get him out of it. Next year I am hunting an area alone just for me! I have to get out one of these weekends and start talking to landowners. I will still hunt with the family though. Like the previous post and a little from me it nice to hear the stories after the hunt and the more eyes in the woods the better. You really know better were the deer are moving. I think that is the number one pro.
