My hunting buddy just flaked on me!!! I already have the day off and I’m not about to let the opportunity pass by. Going to hike out in D15 before sunrise tomorrow, Wish me luck!
First solo hunting trip D15
- Thread starter HunterMcBuckKiller
- Start date
You don’t need a buddy. I hunt solo 99% of the time and I love it. Have fun
Didn't get anything but had a blast, found some good signs, going to keep scouting the spot for next season.

I hate when buddies bailed. But honestly you will learn more on your own.
Definitely a buck track...Keep this spot tight to the vest... 
I'm in a similar situation as you beginning my hunting journey solo. I was also in D15 and I saw similar sign. I actually got onto a "forky," but he took off into some pretty thick brush and I couldn't get a shot on him (my inexperience). I hunted D19 and saw lots of sign and ideal habitat, but I only ended up seeing three does. I did stumble across a covey of Mountain Quail deep and high up in D19 that I'm going to head back to next week and see if they're still around for the taking. You definitely have a good spot to scout and keep tabs on for next season. Good luck!
That's the plan, once dispersed camping is allowed again I'm planning on spending a couple days in the area to find him, then check in on him a couple times a month till next season.Definitely a buck track...Keep this spot tight to the vest...
If i wait for my friends to go hunting or fishing, i may never go hunting or fishing!!!
Sure, you can quote me on that.
