RE: Hunting alone vs with others...
just to reiterate, do be careful who you choose. I know that when I walk in the woods, I am very mindful of all of my surroundings, and as the saying goes "don't stop on anything you can step over", that holds very true for me. I hunt with one of my buddies who is a bit more clumsy than I am and it annoys me sometimes, but it is still great to hunt with a friend.
