RE: alone hunting
 

It is nice to go out by yourself, however, I love to share the outdoors expierence with some of my good friends. There is also times when I feel like I want to go by myself to just get away from everything.

I have an idea....Since it is more fun to hunt with someone, how about you go with someone, but instead on you going with a veteran turkey hunter, how about you take along someone new to the sport.

This way you will be doing the hard work your buddy did for you last year, but still with someone to share the hunt with, and you'll introduce the sport to someone new. Just an idea.

It's a whole lotta fun to go with someone else when you both know what you're doing, and if you're lucky enough to get a double kill it's awesome. I take a lot of people hunting down here in Alabama and it's frustrating when I take somebody they doesn't take it as seriously as I do, but I guess everybody has tostart somehow and I love introducing people to turkey hunting. I have more success going alone in the turkey woods b/c I stay in the woods longer and don't give up when the gobblers don't come to me right off. Most people I take get tired and bored afterjust a couple of hours and itmakes me feel like I've wasted a day by taking them, so I have to go alone every now and then. Go with somebody that knows what they're doing and learn little things here and there from them, then when you feel like you can do it yourself, give it a shot.

I would say go out alone.......you will learn so much more by yourself........and like Ben Lee's dad once told him as they both stood there in the early morning light - "I hear a turkey gobble, you had better go find one fer yourself!"

I hunt lots with a partner but we know where each other is or a general location. We never both chase the same bird. Turkey hunting at its finest is amono - amono - One on one!

I usally go with friends and help call for them , love to call birds for other people . But when given the chance i go alone , and test my skills to make sure im staying in tune with my experience , i say try it alone and give it a shot that is the best way to learn . best advise i can give you is pay attention to your surroundings the set up is everything and be patient good luck buddy

If you hunt alone you can do what you want when you want, I prefer it unless I can take my daughter it's great teaching a new hunter.

If your confident on your own go for it. I hunted alone my first year and got my turkey the third week, I just learned as much as could before I went. The most important call is the yelp if you have that along with advise from other hunters go for it.

Go hunting with a friend if you are not sure yet.
