I wish my mom would let me go alone so then i could get more time in the woods, always working around me and my dads work schedules get kind of hectic so i dont get out much but if i could go alone id be out all of the time.

I also hunt solo (including travelling for out-of-state hunts) by myself and have for many years. I really enjoy the solitude and not being on anybody else's schedule except my own. If/when I get a good one it's the same story as when I get a smaller one or a doe. (I am not a trophy hunter, just enjoy the hunt and tagging a buck if I've worked for it). I gut it and drag it outmyself. The last good one I got was just before last light the year before last. I waited for 15 min of so before looking to where the deer went out of site. It's surprising how short a time it takes to get twisted around when it's dark are you're in the thick stuff. Anyway, I found my buck (about a 125" 8 point....good for where I live) and dragged it out. Got to my truck at just after 11 pm, completely exhaused.

99 % of the time alone.Not by choice ,but the only friend to take it as seriously as myself is eight hours away.Gutting and dragging ,bucks,just take my time enjoy the moment. Does, i tend to move a little quicker,usually skin and quarter as soon as possible.

I bowhunt alone 95% of the time. If Im lucky I usually tag and gut then I'll go back and get my ATV. If I have to I go looking for help. I have lotsa buddy's with strong backs.

I go alone 90% of the time. When the weather is nice my wife will hunt in a ground blind while I'm in my tree. When I get one I take my time, drag, rest, drag, rest etc. Getting older but I still enjoy the solitude and of course the excitement of the hunt.

When I first started hunting 3 years ago, I wasted a lot of time because my hunter safety course taught me not to hunt alone (if possible). Once I figured out it was OK to hunt alone, I started getting out in the field. I definately prefer to hunt with a buddy, but don't have a problem hunting alone (just make sure you tell someone reliableexactly where you are hunting and when to expect you back).

Yeah, I always end up hunting along, although not by choice. Can't seem to find a hunting bud to go out with. Does kinda seem like a solitary sport though.
