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

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.
