RE: how do you hunt solo?
Seriously, how old are you?
If you are 14 or 15, then you must honor your father. If you are 16 or older, then you and your father should compromise so that both are satisfied with the issue. Buy a buddy stand and sit with your Dad a time or two. Tell Pops that time waits for no man and every moment you two share is one that can't be lost to time. No man is a slave to his job. If his job NEEDS him so badly, it also NEEDS him to be refreshed and happy and not at odds with his family. If the wheels don't get oiled once in awhile they will quit turning prematurely. Don't be selfish either in that sometimes kids want what they want, all the time. You have to understand your Dads responsibility to provide for you and keep you from harm. You will be grown very soon, sooner than you realize. so be patient, son....
