How old were you?
I was just thinking about the season coming up shortly. It'll be my first bow season and I'll be hunting alone. I had planned on hunting w. my uncle, but he recently passed, so now I'm going out alone. I'm 20 and I've always shotgun hunted with Dad except for one season (I was 17 and the Old man had a hip surgery haha.) I think it's going to be a stange feeling, but I'm pumped- can't wait!!!
When did you all start hunting alone? I don't mean sitting in a stand away from your dad, I mean driving to the woods by yourself and doing it all alone.
This will be my first year- 20.

15 for me.. but I didn't see it up there.
My ole' man used to let me just take the car when I was 15 and without a license yet. He was an odd bird.. still is.

The woods were behing our home and I was hunting them by myself at 12 years old. Lucky I didn't blow my face off. I wonder if my folks had an insurance policy on me?
