Five of us college classmates get together on twodays each year to rabbit and quail hunt. It is also a reunion since we are widely dispersed. My son and i get together and deer hunt Thanksgiving weekend every year.

Used to deer turkey,and hog hunt withsome local folks. It was all a one way deal.i do a lot of of pre-season scouting. Theydo not. i built a lot of tree stands that they hunted from. Noneof those folks ever offered to help build or repair a tree stand but they always hunted from mine.

Alwaystold my hunting partners where the big bucks were. The final straw for me was when i askeda hunting buddy where his wife killed her nice buck. The reply: "It is a secret place." Told all of them to go to hades and am now a dedicated lone hunter.

Since i quit hunting with a group i have killedlotsmorehogs and turkeys, and got areally nice buck last fall.Moved several of the tree stands to isolated areas that suit my solitary way of hunting. Love it!!!
