Most of the time I hunt alone but what can stink sometimes is when I do bag something like the Buck in my avitar "Yesterday morning" I had to drag him out myself. Sucker weighed 173 lbs and had to drag him 250 yards. Really wished I had some help cuz he felt like he weighed 300 lbs! When I do hunt with others it is only with a choosen few. My brother and a couple of friends. We have been hunting together many years and so we trust each other to do all the right things. So far 5 deer between us and it ain't over yet!
