I actually enjoy hunting alone and do so quiet often. When I go on the weekend this year my best friend, wife, will be tagging along which I'm looking forward to but I enjoy hunting during the week when things are quieter...I tend to see more and better bucks when there are fewer people there.

More times than not i hunt alone now. My FIL used to go with me every time, but he's pushing 85 now. I enjoy being up there with him and also without him. I sometimes invite a friend to go with me, but it seems like I'm always having to make concessions for him (he needs to hunt the blind (best spot) because he doesn't feel comfortable climbing a tree stand ans he snores pretty bad.

Time by myself is something that I never get at home, so it's nice to get it at the farm.

I hunt by myself quite a few times during the season and enjoy it.

I tend to hunt Quail by myself, simply don't have many hunting buddies in the area that care to join me, that part I simply don't understand.

Hunting alone can be very therapeutic. I enjoy being at by myself at times.

I do.

I swear Sasquatch, every bobcat in the county, and the Fouke monster are watching me walk in and out in the dark.

Get some good dogs and you'll have all the friends you want.

I enjoy deer hunting alone, but like dove/bird hunting with buddies.

Until last year I hunted alone 95% of the time. My wife has started going with me now and I like the company.

When I hunt alone I prefer to be by myself. Have my own place about an hour away and let a few friends and family hunt it. They all generally tag out and/or are more into football by Thanksgiving. I give it a few weeks to calm down and hunt Christmas to Closer. Just about every year I'll take a buck none of them ever saw. This has been going on for about 25 years now and they still haven't figured it out, which is fine with me.

I wish my fiends were more disciplined big game hunters. Dove hunting they are fine. But deer hunting; they don't put in the time during the year, and when in the woods they don't sit still, they cough, hack, fidget, and may as well just play grab [censored] with the raccoons.
So I have hunted alone for many years.

I still share my venison with them, 'cause I got friends in low places.

My best hunting occurs during the week, almost always alone. Weekends are more about keeping the other guys up late, around the fire....Funny, they don't seem to enjoy the same success as I do confused2

never have figured out those guys that drive several
hours just to stay [censored] faced and have the radio up loud.
i rather be at home with my comfortable chair and
toilet if i wanted to do that.
they must just have a poor home life.

Just my wife and I on 600 acres. It's so relaxing. Occasionally a child will tag along.

As much as I love hunting alone, there are times I really like to have someone with me. My stomach sometimes will make a bowl growl that is worth sharing. I even get to laughing at myself when I start percolating and those air bubbles make a bend around a corner in my gut. They sound so much louder when you are in the woods.! flush
Then finally comes the escape. I start questioning my diet and intake of foods and worrying if I have a perforated bowl, or something is wrong with my liver. This seems to always happen when there isn't any wind and I have nobody to share it with. But almost every time right about 7:23am I can no longer hold back the pressure and have to leave my blind and duck walk somewhere and rid my body of the foul substance I'm carrying. taz
But it has never effected the hunting for me as I've had the same deal every year and almost every trip to the blind. Then shortly thereafter round 2 starts. I can't wait for the grandsons to go with me and start stacking up on stories they will tell their kids. flehan
