Thread: Solo hunting; managing risk

Do you find that you talk to yourself more when hunting solo ? I tend to I've noticed. Don't know why but could be it's a sort of self assurance mechanism ... ? These days I tend to hunt more solo, which I enjoy, but don't have issues hunting with a companion either, especally my one hunting son. Sadly though, with his work demands, he only gets out with me once or twice yearly.

Yeah talking to yourself is ok as long as you don't answer yourself back as that is the sign of madness

OK.... not at that stage yet, thankfully, haha. Think there's more risk of going mad if I don't hunt, so the more I hunt the more sane I am. Admittedly that's my theory but it sounds good, to me.

its a worry when you still cant win argument and only a worry when cant get a word in edgeways.

Sometimes you need adult advice and your the only adult around

Yes but I try not to. As age advances the talking more often than not turns to arguments, mostly because Im going deaf and I misinterpret something Iv said. The good thing is memory loss means I forget which side of the argument I was on.

Thank god it’s not just me.

I keep thinking I’m going nuts, but it’s become the norm for me to debate the best route or the plan for the where to stalk next.
