Thread: Solo hunting; managing risk

Due to my line of work dictating regular location moves, I have spent most of my time hunting by myself, as it’s hard to gather a crew of hunting mates when you’re moving all the time.

This roar I found myself pushing into more and more isolated locations, to get away from hunters and hopefully into good hunting. This time around I had an increasing feeling of vulnerability out there - a full days walk and two alpine saddles away from help. I have the desire to push harder and go on some epic adventures (expeditions) but I’m getting the feeling that there’s a limit of what should be undertaken solo.

Does your hunting behaviour change depending on whether you’re solo or with a mate? Would you bite off the same trip by yourself as you would with some ‘back-up’?
