Thread: Solo hunting; managing risk

Spent 46 years hunting so far. Sometimes as a team of two but still hunting separately for two or three days or so. Rest of time mostly hunt solo. Doesn’t matter if you’re hunting solo or as a team, you have to assess and manage risk the same. There’s quite a few members on here who have done the same. We lived through a time without GPS, cell phones, radio communication like today, or many other such aids. We had to rely on our observations, risk management and at times good luck. Most of us also utilised modern aids as they came along but I would guess that most of us all still rely on our own gut feeling, “if it looks too dodgy don’t take the risk”.
