How Many Still Prefer To Hunt Alone?

Since my dad passed I now pretty much hunt alone, but there are times such as rabbit hunting,and a annual quail hunt where there are a few friends along, my son seems to have lost interest also, The one solid partner is a Marine buddy I served with we have known each other since we were 17 he is as a brother should be. Other than that I actually like being alone the wife dont care for it much though.

As an introvert and general pain in the ass I do prefer to be out in the woods alone, and I've never really loved the raucous hunting camp idea. That said, it is fun too connect halfway through the day and see what's happening, and to go get a burger and a beer after the days hunt when that fits the schedule.

Depends on whether I'm on a Camp Ripley daily bow hunt or a week long Montana elk hunt. It also depends on whether it's my dad and brothers or my personal friends. Those are two very different situations.

I got spoiled big game hunting in Alaska and gave it up when we moved out of state.
Now in Montana, I solo bird hunt 95 percent of the time.
I typically hunt 6 days per week from sunrise to noon alternating the labs.
Solo hunting, I can be quiet which is so important with late season roosters.

I always email my wife the exact location where my pickup will be parked and my
hunting direction plan and stick to it. And I text her when I am headed home.
I also always carry an InReach mini in case of an emergency.

I hope to be able to bird hunt like this into my 80s...I'm now age 68.
I like the dog work, the long season (Sept 1 - mid Jan), shooting a shotgun,
and exploring every morning a different area.
