As I posted on FaceBook…
As the last man standing of my old hunting group, I have to echo this. All my hunting buddies have moved on to the "great happy hunting ground". I pretty well hunt by myself anymore and I really miss the comradery.

I bet. I go in spells where I don't mind going solo but really enjoy best when someone else wants to join me.

Having a new wife and stepkids who have started to hunt has given me a whole new outlook on it. It's all about doing it as a family and helping them get a deer. I like to let them pick the best stands to hunt and I take whatever is left. We all gather in the garage afterwards and share what we saw. I always did this alone or with my dad before.

I definately have a new respect and admiration for the "memories" and "making memories" experience nowadays.

Ah taking "whatever is left" works out sometime with dad holding some horns and laughing |

...for me anyhow. Woody, I'm sure it's tough losing the guys you used to hunt with, but by starting this forum you've gained a whole bunch of new hunting buddies to share your stories and opinions with. And for that, thank you. |

I’ve been solo for a few years now. My hunting buddy pretty much quit 4 years ago. My wife is my outlet who I can talk with about my hunt.

My father is in his waning years of hunting. It was a breath of fresh air when my youngest son asked if he could go! I also enjoy sharing the stories here, even if it's just to say hey I saw three deer today or I started seeing some chasing. This is certainly a nice Outlet to have some camaraderie even if we aren't sitting around the same campfire!

Robert Ruark was quite an author.
I'd recommend reading a few of his books. Horn of the Hunter is my favorite.
