I'm very similar except I like to tell folks I'm going and that is for several reasons...I am excited and want to share my excitement about going, I want someone to know where I am in case I get mauled by daddy rabbit, and I want to get a feel for which of my buddies I can call after the hunt to help me haul out my monster hawg buck!

Otherwise, I'm all alone and do prefer that way as well. I very much enjoy sharing stories after the hunt though.
