I try to go every morning I can with my grandfather, but he is laid back and generally follows my lead. He will also be the first to say "I ain't going there on that gobbler" so he goes to one and I go to another. We work good together and have been the death of dozens of gobblers over the years.

BUT, other than him, I am a one man show cause I just hunt different than my friends. Occasionally my wife will go, but I know before I ever pull out of the drive I will be back by 8:30 cause she ain't gonna sit any longer.

I like to go by my own schedule and come and go as I please.

Never travel without my own vehicle.

The majority of the time heading to my lease in Kentucky, I have my Lease Partner with me. I have several times though, and including last Spring just headed down myself and hunted solo.

I would be more up to traveling if I had a partner but just can't seem to find one.  I'm just waiting for son to get a little older and then I might have one for a few years.

Ilove to travel to different places to hunt and usually go it alone.I used to invite "buddies" along but somehow never got asked to go on any of their hunts so now its just me and the road,unless its youth day.

Either way is fine by me.  The people who hunt with me or visa-versa have the same drive that I do.  So we each know were in it for the long haul whe hunting with the other.   And people know not to be late at my house.   One or two have learned that "were leaving at 4:30 means I'm leaving at 4:30" period!
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Got a 8 hour drive to my destination, not looking forward to that drive by myself.  It'd be nice to have somebody to split the driving time.

We always go on my rig so I can call the shots.

I hunt pretty much solo here in my home state.Me and a buddy travel to diff states though. We went to nebraska last year and going to florida in about 1.5 weeks, and prolly go to tennessee this time to.We havent yet hunted in kentucky together yet.I like hunting solo here on my home turf.

I go about 100 miles South and East of our house to Hunt in MN.  I had some friends that used to apply with me but they slowly quit.  One friend applies buy his house now.
I take the camping trailer and the wife and I stay down there for the 5 day season.
I also hunt in WI and that is always by my self. (unless I am getting videoed).
I hunt grouse. ducks, phesant by myself mostly once in a while friend or brother comes and hunts with me. (the dog comes along except for turkey).
I enjoy both ways.

Respect the land as well as the game you hunt.

I don't mind hunting by myself around the house, but prefer to have a companion when traveling for safety reasons.  Nonetheless, I'm going to OK by myself this year I guess.  I've got access to ~500 acres of private land and I can't pass that up.

I hunt MN and WI by myself.  I sneak hunt a lot, which doesn't work well with two.  I'm in sales management so I deal with employees and customers all day every day.  And, I love my family to death, but having young kids means nonstop activity.  Between work and home going hunting by myself is the one thing that keeps me sane!

I hunt with friends 75 % of the time.  I have times where I will go by myself, but it just isn't any fair for the turkeys if I do that!  I like to call in kills so....I really prefer to buddy hunt.
