i am the only one in my household that hunts, i buy a lot of my gear on my own, i hunt alone, i hunt deer alone, i duck hunt alone, and i turkey hunt alone, i do all of my hunting alone unless my dad decides to take a day off, but, i was given a lot of advice and tips by my grandpa about deer hunting and now he is starting to duck hunt with me, back last year, him and i went on both of ours first duck hunt, i will never forget it, but i have a lot of experience and most of it is becausei do most of the hunting alone, so i learn a lot from mistakes, it seems like i learn something new every trip to the field
