I do both, however when it comes to hunting unless trying to get an animal for someone via calling for them, etc I hunt solo the majority of time. I think its good when venturing out to go with someone to know where you are in the event something happens. However to sit with them seems counter productive. If its a new hunter or youth then that is totally different then of course you hang together.

Friendship and sharing can happen after and before the sun goes down...thats what the campfire, garage or drive are for.
