Q: Prefer to Hunt Alone Or With A Buddy?

[bamagtrdude]

Sorry GuessWho - had another moment of weakness before season & watched another huntin' show!!    This question came up in the show...

*BUT* great question - curious to hear your answers...  I'd say for me, early on, I preferred to hunt alone; began hunting with a buddy, but he wouldn't let me call much!  So, I hunted alone for years, until I moved back to Alabama in 2004 & began hunting with my cousin, and got another buddy of mine into it.  Now, I really like hunting with someone else; the experience just seems more fun, although I've learned it's a bit tougher to get 2 folks coordinated on a hunt!

Thoughts?  Pros/Cons?

Oh man, to me there is just nothing like turkey hunting with a buddy!! With filming hunts now we almost never hunt alone anymore which makes it fun, but even if I werent filming I would definitely prefer to have a buddy there. 

My two best hunts last year were with two of my best friends with me. The year before that my best was with a great freind of mine and my dad.  Just having them there and sharing those moments together and talking about God and how awesome he is that he allows us to enjoy his wonderful creation like we do makes it so much more gratifying to me.  I have hunted alone quite a bit and have killed several birds alone and it was alot of fun, but just nothing like having a couple of buddies there to make those memories with! To me, thats what its all about!

I enjoy both, but I do most of my turkey hunting with my BIL.

Now that my son is off at college the majority of my hunting is alone. I will hook up with a friend very occasionally but not often.

When I'm deer hunting I prefer to be alone hands down. But turkey hunting is a buddy sport to me. I do enjoy hunting alone but enjoy it even more when I have a good friend along

I like to take my grandsons when I can but otherwise by myself.  Partly due to the private land I hunt....I'm very protective of the locations and relationships with landowners.

I enjoy both. It's almost like the Ginger or Mary Ann question.
