RE: alone hunting
I would say go out alone.......you will learn so much more by yourself........and like Ben Lee's dad once told him as they both stood there in the early morning light - "I hear a turkey gobble, you had better go find one fer yourself!"
I hunt lots with a partner but we know where each other is or a general location. We never both chase the same bird. Turkey hunting at its finest is amono - amono - One on one!
