Matthew I am for the most part a lone wolf myself when it comes to hunting, but those days are drawing to a temporary close for at least 5-6 seasons, my twin daughters started going out with me during gun season last year and this year they will be taking their hunter safety course and probably start off gun hunting, it will be another year before I will consider taking them out with the bow. Once they are in my opinion old enough/ready to hunt solo, I again will become a lone wolf. I have hunted with others over the years, but we are not talking about sharing a stand or even being within sight of each other, probably the closest I have ever hunted with somebody else was at a distance of 400 yards.
