When I was younger and learning a went with somebody almost every hunt. Eventually as I figured things out I learned it's much easier to kill one alone. I'll still hunt a few times with new hunters and friends every year but I'd much rather hunt on my own.

Both. To me it's easier with my dad. One of us will sit 50-75 yards in front quietly while the other calls. The shooter can let a bird walk into his barrel most of the time. But I do like going on my own also.

Doesn't matter to me.... But usually alone....If someone is around that doesn't know much...I would rather them go with me so the birds don't get spooked or educated.... Last thing I want is to hunt a weary bird spooked by someone who doesn't know what the hell they are doing....

I go alone about 75% of the time and with a good friend the other 25% of the time....if I had to guess.

Either way. I have a lot of good memories/stories hunting with somebody.

This question was asked on turkey thugs.

To me, it seems that more memories are made going with someone. I am relatively new to turkey hunting, so the few times I have went alone, I have not had any luck at all. But it seems like when I go with someone, we are all over em. I really want to call one in myself this year, so I will probably be solo a lot of the time. I guess I prefer the company.

Much more fun and probably more safe to have a partner in crime....but I do go alone about 75% of the time. Always have a phone, snake bite kit, and a separate handheld gps.

Alone most of the time. I'm happy to hunt with somebody that likes to hunt the same way I do, but honestly I don't have enough patience and I'm not a good enough teacher to fool with rookies much. If I go with somebody and I don't like they way they hunt turkeys, I don't get mad over it or anything I just don't go back with them anymore.
It's fun when two guys that are like minded formulate a plan to kill a turkey and it works though.
More than two in the woods for turkeys is a circus I won't do that again unless my 2 daughters ever end up wanting to go at the same time or something like that.

Probably 50/50 for me...most of my hunts with someone are with my dad as we learn together...this will be our 4th season...occasionally, I get invited to go with more knowledgeable hunters and it's great to learn from them...I had the pleasure of hunting with BrentM one time last season; however, we didnt get in any action but I still learned a lot just talking with him that morning...

Other than a few solo hunts before work and the one or two times a season when I invite myself to hunt with my pals, I primarily hunt with my son. We have a good time and try to learn something every trip even if we don't kill too many turkeys.
