Tominator Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 When it comes to bowhunting, do you prefer to go out alone, or hunt with a few other guys/gals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Always used to hunt alone when in High School and just out. Then my brother got more into bowhunting instead of duck hunting. Now it is usually the two of us, but I normally am limited to the weekends. He gets to hunt after work everyday. The deer are pretty smart by the time the rut rolls around with that kind of pressure. :hammer2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_70 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I usually go at it alone unless I'm hunting in La. Then I've got my cousins that usually go with me. We'll see how the new lease in Fl. pans out, might find some good people to hunt with. It's always good to get another perspective and you never know what you may learn from someone else..

HUNTINGMAN Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I hunt on a 360 acre farm and hunt all alone,with exception when my dad goes.He has no legs and hunts one spot,even though he cant go where I go its still a great feeling being in the woods with him.

woolybear Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I enjoy sharing time in the wild with others. I like to show them the things I see. Being a sport of close encounters bowhunting is an escape for me. With so much that can go wrong I don't like to introduce another element to the equation. Bowhuntings success' and failures keeps me in touch with reality of the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 95% of the time I bow hunt alone. I take my kids sometimes and I have been bow hunting with a friend a couple times on his property last season. As my kids get older I imagine I'll be taking them more, but I have a couple more years yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhine16 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm a loner during bow season except on the weekends... then my dad is with me. Hard to be a loner once gun season rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzorp Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Unfortunately I hunt alone. This economy has driven the last of my bowhunting buddies out,, I miss them,, I'll never forget the times we used to have, deer or no deer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I was a loner until my oldest son Joe started bowhunting. Now we hunt a lot together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I hunt by myself 99% of the time. Maybe once during a typical season will my daughter come up for day or two of bow hunting. Archery season for me is a time for chasing the mighty wapiti, with only a day or two actually hunting deer. It is hard to find someone willing to put in the miles and climb the mountains the way I do. I have often wished I had someone else there to experience the encounters I have had with the various critters that roam the country I hunt, or to even see the scenery of the area. While pictures tell a thousand words, there is no substitute for being "there". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Loner during bow season, my son goes with me from time to time during gun season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yep, a loner. But most times I am never really alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Am I a loner? Yes, unless someone asks. Then I'm more than willing to go hunting with them. Matter of fact, I'm still awaiting the day my girlfriend will go out with me, with her bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was always a loner.............wasn't interested in having anyone else in my zip code. That's why I bought the property I did. Started hunting with a guy here or a guy there. Took a few years to figure out that was a bad move. Going to start hunting with my favorite person again, this year.......me !!!

ILAntlrAddct Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I typically go alone, however I do hunt a few hundred acres with a few friends on their ground. Its nice to get out and experience it with others from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Now that I'm retired, I spend all my hunting time alone. It seems that all the people that I used to hunt with have dropped out, moved away or died. Yes, I did enjoy having hunting partners. We never made a "gang thing" out of it, and seldom did I ever actually hunt with anymore than one other person. The boys have grown up and are off hunting in other parts of the country. It's funny, now that I have reached the age where I probably shouldn't be wandering around the hills alone, there simply is no one left to hunt with.
