I prefer to hunt alone. I work a crazy work schedule and have 4 kids and a wife that runs her own business. sometimes I have to cancel hunts and sometimes when I do get a chance to hunt I stay in stand all day. I have yet to find anyone else willing to do that. I have a couple buddies that I hunt with once in awhile, just because they ask and I dont want to offend anyone. we usually have fun, but i look forward to solitude.
