Do you prefer hunting alone or with company?

I do enjoy meeting a friend in the wee hours in the morning for a coffee before heading out, and meeting up afterwards to discuss what we might have seen or not seen. I have not had that for a while and its part of hunting that I really miss the most.

when it comes to deer i like to be alone so i have nobody but myself to blame if something goes wrong. but, with any other type of hunting i figure the more the merrier

I like solo. I do go with a friend who has heart trouble when he wants to go.

Once ya ge up there in years It's probably smarter to hunt with a buddy.

At age 70, I'm just afraid there could be an accident like a fall or health problem so I would like to have someone I can call, just in case either of us need help.
Also it makes it much easier to drag out a deer if you are successful.
My wife does not hunt so she also would prefer I have some one go with me.

I still go by myself but I do not climb trees then but have decided to just hunt from the ground and maybe use a ground blind. So I may not be successful but I do love just being out there.

There is no cell signal where I hunt until I climb a pretty steep ridge plus a friend and I can move deer toward each other sometimes.

I can agree with that. Some of my favorite memories are squirrel hunting with my friends . . .there were so many, it was kind of like skeet shooting.
