I like to bow hunt solo if I can. I like my peace & quiet and if anyone steps on a branch, it's me so I only yell at myself internally instead of somebody else. None of island crew has the right gear anyway. Steep timber is a whole other ball of wax and those guys are pretty lazy.

This past hunt was my first time in this area and I learned a lot over 2.5 days. There are some animals around including a 6x5, but finding them is hell. The good news is the new 600 acres of private land I got access to is LOADED with deer and nobody hunts it. It backs up to 35K acres of timber company. There's a book buck in there 100% guaranteed.
