Pretty much the same including elk, only been a few I shared camp with that is was great. When I was younger we went to the rockies as a group, sometimes with as many as 10, after 7 days it can be a chore with drama imo. Last 7-10 years went solo, less stress.. With the right couple of people, it came be a real good time when everyone is on the same page tho.

Exactly

When I was younger I enjoyed the hell out of hunting and fishing with my fun and rowdy friends, never a dull moment
Once I had kids it was all about them first, then fun with everyone else second. Fortunately I have been able to enjoy both

To answer your question, I would much rather enjoy the great outdoors with my family first

I probably hunt (scout) 90% alone. There is something therapeutic about being alone with God and nature.
But my favorite memories are the cool trips with my daughters and my wife.
But them there was that time alone when a 300 pound boar showed up. I was jumping up and down in the woods and mud all by myself, and I could barely move that monster. I facetimed everyone that I could think of.

I hunt with my son until he starts to get tired of it, usually around the first week of December. Then I hunt by myself.

I’ve enjoyed every aspect of hunting both with family and by myself. It started with my dad and me when I was 10 yrs. old. Now 55years later it’s mentoring my two young grandsons along with my wife and son. I’ve been very successful and have had many great memories over the years. I’ve always enjoyed sharing the success of my dad, wife and son but for me nothing beats the excitement of seeing your son or grandsons harvesting his first deer.

I grew up hunting with my dad and his friends. What I wouldn't give to do that again. Unfortunately, they're all gone now. The older I get, the more I prefer hunting by myself. My son is in Korea on the government's dime and my daughters could care less. My wife will come out occasionally and sit by the fire. I look forward to the day when my nephews can come, the oldest one has been out some. I cant wait to share that experience with them. But until their sports activities subside (which is a long time from now), I am on my own for the most part and I like it.

One of my kids or solo. Even though my kids ate 36 and 38 now still love being around them outdoors.
