Hunt solo or with your buddies?

Solo mostly, but I enjoy tag teaming with my dad. The hunt is great but to see how excited my dad gets when we hunt together is priceless. You never know how long you have with them so I enjoy every minute we get to hunt together and the memories I will take with me one day when my hunting partner is no longer around.

I'm going to take my son out, then my nephew. I generally hunt solo, or with my lab.

Mostly solo, I usually have better success solo also.

I prefer to hunt by myself. Once in a while I will hunt with a partner.  Usually calling the bird in for a friend. Tag teaming however can be a very effective trick if you are hunting with someone with experience and knows how to hunt turkeys. Get two really serious experienced turkey hunters together and it can get fun.  Just not for the bird!!

I enjoy both. Teaming up is fun with the comraderie and different ideas and sense of teamwork. Solo is a full on attack of your adversary, one on one serious matter, lol. I enjoy hunting with my wife who is only a couple years in and learning fast as well as my teenage daughter, who is a riot to hang out with. Both are good shooters and follow instructions well. It is more pressure but is so enjoyable. We shot a triple together last year and it was the best day of my life. Cant go wrong either way. Good luck and God Bless. Al Baker

When I kill one by myself, I always think "well that would have been better if I had someone else with me.   And filmed it."   It's hard finding someone to go these days. However, this is blind hunting over decoys on a tiny private piece.  But that's how we grew up hunting with our grandpa, so there is the nostalgia component.  It was most fun killing one with him.  Now I can't get my brother to even go anymore, he'd rather crappie fish. 

All that being said, I'm going to try an out of state, public land, run and gun, solo hunt for the first time. I really wouldn't want anyone else with me for that.  I can go at my own pace, hunt when I feel like it, move when I feel like it, call when I feel like it, and best of all, mess up without any witnesses.

I usually solo hunt, or with my lab.Hunting with other people can put more factors into it.Also, other people can give out hunting spots to other  people, and that's not good. No, it's best to hunt solo, you will have more success, and become good at Turkey hunting,  at a faster rate.

If I am actually hunting I prefer solo. If someone is with me then they are the shooter. Pedro is about the only one that tags along with me but now that he is 16 I have started to gradually kick him off on his own. Not because I dont enjoy hunting with him but because he needs to start learning how to do it by himself. I do occasionally take a friend and his son but honestly if I go out with another serious Turkey hunter my preference is for us to split up and do our thing. We can meet up later after the hunt to tell lies.
You will
get better
, faster, going solo.
