How many people here hunt by themselves? I always have, but I've gotten to the point where sometimes I'm a little nervous about this. I'm finally at the stage where I realize I'm not bulletproof and that there is a chance that something could happen to me while hunting and not having anyone around to help makes me nervous. Not to mention that my hunting land has zero cell phone coverage. Does anyone else that hunts alone worry about things that might happen? I'm always carrying a gun, even when I'm out at the land during the off-season. You never know who might have a meth lab hidden somewhere on your property that you could happen to walk up on or any number of scenarios. Am I just being nervous and paranoid or do other people who hunt alone share these same concerns?
Also, I've been thinking about camping out on my property this year during the week of deer season as opposed to driving back and forth each night and each morning. Does anybody camp alone? Like tent camp alone? Not that I'm scared of the dark, but there's something about being alone in a tent in the middle of nowhere, with no cell phone coverage, and no neighbors that makes me a little nervous too. Is this being silly also?
