I always hunt alone except for a few hunting trips.

Normal day for us is in stand by daylight, back at camp for lunch around 11:30 & head back out at 1:30. Think I've hunted 15 out of last 18 days.
Another 65 yr old & I guided my 35 yr old nephew & his buddy for archery elk this year. Packed in on horses 11 miles for 12 days, all DIY.
If I go out hunting, I'll go out happy!!

fairchaser":gm6yaunq said:The thread about hunters over 50 still using a climber got me thinking about hunting alone. I'm over 60 and still occasionally hunt alone. What I mean is getting up and going without a buddy to meet with and then go separate ways to your stand. Somebody to share the experience with and get help from if needed. I always sit by myself.
As I sit here this morning, it's a perfect day, in the heat of the rut, and I'm wondering why I didn't go. I still have the drive but it's tempered more than before. I like to have someone there to share the experience and to have as a backup.
