Solo or with friends and family?

That's a good question.  I enjoy both.  I've killed a lot of birds both on the gun and on the call when hunting as a team, but I've without a doubt killed more hunting solo.  Personally I enjoy both, but remember when hunting as a team your level of enthusiasm can't push ahead of the other hunter to the point of making it unenjoyable for them. 
Nothing like seeing a kids eyes light up upon hearing that first gobble.

I enjoy both. I absoloutely kill more birds solo, but I think I enjoy it a little more now with a partner. It is my wife now and it is awesome. She is no "Joe", he is one of a kind, but we have fun. I say enjoy every hunt no matter the circumstance. Not hard to sell hunt time to a turkey hunter. Good luck and god bless, Z

I enjoy hunting alone, with my son, or with certain friends. It's all fun to me. Some of my favorite hunts are ones where someone else pulled the trigger.

I just enjoy being there. Doesn't matter if I'm on the gun or not to me. I like sharing the hunt with other close family members. Really don't think I've taken anyone other than family though. Wife, kids, Dad or  brother.

If I am trying to kill a turkey I will almost always go solo. If someone else is with me then they are on the gun. Come to think of it I have never had someone else call up a bird that I have killed.

I'm a solo guy,but open to teaching anyone about turkey hunting.I think more about the people in my family I sure would  like to have taken but  never got the chance. I think it was Ben Lee who said "Turkey hunters and Old turkeys were meant to go one on one."

No one in my family was a hunter, everything hunting related has been self taught. I usually go alone however sometimes, when I can get him out of bed, I'll take my brother.

My kneejerk response is "alone".  But when I think about about my most memorable hunts, they're overwhelmingly with other people. 

I've passed the phase of needing to kill a bird so perhaps that's why.  Last year I called up a longbeard for a family member and they promptly missed him at about 25 yards.  They were :angry9:   It didn't bother me in the slightest.  To me, that just meant we got to chase another one.  Which we did BTW, later that day I called in the largest gobbler he's ever killed.
