wellI think I fully agree with you
I started hunting by myself, and stayed a solo hunters MOST of my yrs
as I got tired of excuses and waiting on folks and finding out there idea of hunting and mine were so far apart
BUT I do admit over the yrs I have had a lot of fond hunts with a few decent guys, and maybe more so, enjoyed taking some first timers out, that showed sign of a strong desire to HUNT< and not just be spoiled on things
I lost count of all the guys and gals I took out on there first "X" hunt , be it deer,. turkey pheasants or crows or coyote
and seem them develop into strong hunters today
so there is some times a bigger reward to showing the ropes than doing the hunt yourself all alone
BUT to be 100% honest, MY best times hunting were with my Dog, the memories will go to my grave with me and NOT a bad one to recall
and he never complained about a single thing, ate what was giving to him, and the best darn hunting partner a man could ask for!
just sadly his life was shorter than mine!
so, NOW I am back to hunting alone when I do
