I like solo myself for the most part, If your confident in your woodsmanship then I'ts not as dangerous as some may make it out to be, one of the downfalls of solo is no one to share a great experience with. But the freedom it gives you is great, but if you have a hunting partner that you know real well then it can be pretty free in itself.My Dad and I alway hunt together but I can still go off on my own and meet up with at cmap or the truck whenever.
