    I usually hunt alone, I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Re: Hunting alone

    I'm definitely a social hunter. I love getting off work and the boys all meeting up, loading a truck up with gear....lunch back at camp....sitting around a campfire.... sharing successful moments. For me personally, it's better with friends. But it's gotta be the right people.

    With all that said. If you are competent and comfortable in the outdoors. Nothing wrong with going solo!. I go out scouting solo sometimes. And it can be nice getting some time to really be alone. Just always play it safe. You got no one to bail you out. So sometimes you'll have to let an animal walk, that you might have taken with a couple buddies around.


    As mentioned abunch. Inreach is worth the money. Solo or with friends.

    Bears are an odd animal. Kinda like sharks. The odds of one actually killing you are incredibly low. But some people can't help but let it get to them. I lived in Australia for a short time and a guy I knew, would go out every weekend to the city, do random drugs with strangers and party all night.... but wouldn't swim in the ocean because "there's sharks in there mate! I'm not trying to die!".

    Bears are there. They hopefully always will be. Be smart and the odds are in your favor. Hunting solo.. be extra careful...especially once the animal is down and the knife comes out...

    then you take my dad, hunts exclusively alone, and if there is even a gutpile in the vicinity, and is believed to be taken
    by another hunter/go, he just "has to" go check it out!!!
    Crazy guy, with very little fear!
    Worse now, cause his "hearing has gone to shit"....lol
    Well if you are ever in Croatia I'll be happy to take you spearfishing. It seems strange but I have no fear to jump in the open water at the plateau that is 13m deep at top and has a cliff dropping to 100m deep and no land in sight for 2 miles, but I have tough time being in the BC woods alone.

    I realize there is only so much you can pack going solo but a hell of bush knife is a BK9

    Re: Hunting alone

    I hunted solo when I first started years ago camped alone , and now love hunting alone .. but do enjoy company time to time . But nothing beats a long hunt when you have your dog along
