Hunting by yourself

[ammo]

I guess I expected a little better from this community. Sorry to disappoint you but I exist. Thanks for re enforcing my concerns.

Lady, you joined this forum 24 hours ago and your first and only comment was a worry-wart/negative nanny goat vibes. Seemed bot-like

The woods are safe. Well…talk to me in 2 hours after reporting on the efficacy of my dad’s treestand put-up-in’ skills…

I think it’s good practice for people to know both methods of field dressing. I used to only gut them skin and quarter. Like mtmuley I was hesitant to change. I’m glad I know gutless to now and use both.

For me it depends on the circumstances. How big the animal, how it fell, if I have help or not. For solo hunting elk I would want to know gutless.

Is hunting by yourself as a lone woman even safe in today's world? I have been too worried to even try it. Now more than ever.

I guess it would depend on where you are at and other factors. My opinion is no less than doing any number of other things. If unsure I would start with day hunts.

Have you hunted at all or brand new to it? If new hunting with a partner first would help in a number of ways including confidence.

I asked my wife and she said “as long as I was prepared and had the proper gear I would feel safer hunting by myself than walking a city street.”

I guess that's a good way to see it

Anybody gives you shit in the woods and you are forced to defend yourself it is acceptable to aim for the guts.
