For many years I hunted in a cloud because of the amount of alcohol I consumed each night of hunting season at camp. Always had a good time (I think?), but wouldn' t bring home the bacon until the second week when I hunted solo in a different area. I quit doing the " camp" thing about 10 years ago, and have been hunting solo for the past 5 years, except for the occasional outing with a friend or family member. And as far as alcohol goes, I had to give it up a few years ago because of health reasons, and I' m starting to realize how nice it is to hunt when I' m feeling good!
