I'm headed out for mulies by myself again this year. Seems like everybody I know thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am! Just curious to hear how many others are like minded.
I will be headed to the bootheel of NM with a Coues tag in my pocket the 2nd week of December.
And then, right after Christmas my wife, son and I will be going back for Javelina!!!
My friends/family can't wrap their heads around driving 20-30 hours each direction to chase animals and almost always (hopefully this year will be different) come home empty handed. And most of my buds are hunters too.
Doing my first time out west solo this year l. Going from VA to CO. My wife doesn’t seem worried but the rest of my family is acting like I’m am sky diving without a parachute or something.

Same! Been going solo for a dozen years or so.
That's a good way to put it.....wrapping their head around it.....
Every year there are a lot of questions, many of them repeat and of the same variety....
The drive (as if it is much different than sitting behind a desk or on the couch for a day)
What happens when I "catch something"....(I release it)....
Sleeping at night in the terrible forrest
"Who do you talk to.?".....(uhhh, nobody, that's the beauty of it all.......)
The ferocious bears!
LOL
Heading to Montana archery elk hunting in September. This will be my first solo trip, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous about going solo.
