Sometimes hunting solo can end up feeling more like a chore than fun, that's for sure. Especially in rough, thick country.
I've found that mixing up the solo time with some time spent hunting with a friend really makes a huge difference. I look forward to hunting elk in Wyoming each year almost as much for the quality time spent with friends as for the time actually out hunting elk.
It also helps to be successful occasionally.
I would have a LOT of free time if I gave up hunting!
Something about hunting still gets my blood pumping though. I just shot a pig the other day and it was just a regular sized pig, nothing special and it was about the 20th pig I've shot in the last 3 years and I still had to work on controlling my breathing and keeping steady when I squeezed off the shot.
Plus I was out of sausage!
