Alone, I kinda like it that way. When my dad was alive he was always out there but he had to stay close to the car because of health reasons.
On the private land I hunt I see my former neighbors so that makes my wife happier knowing someone is in the area that knows me. I may only see them once in a season though. It is easier dragging/loading a deer with 2 guys instead of one but that's one of the few positives about hunting with someone else.
At times I wish I had someone else to go with to possibly open up new areas, but I've done all right alone the last 11 years.
I did take a freind (new hunter) with me the year my dad died (1999) and got to listen to him whine about not seeing anything, but he passed up 2 does that walked right by him. He thought he was going to see herds of monster deer and was disappointed. That was the last time I've actually went with anyone.
