My very first trip I did a ton of work and gathered information and shared it. Near the last minute the peanut gallery (friends) started chattering about other options.
I came back rather quickly with the sentiment that Hank shared.
"I do what I want to do, and if someone wants to come along, that’s fine, but nothing hinges on it. The hunting comes first."
This is where, this is when, choose if you can make it, if not fine, I'm going. I did, they joined.
I have had more trips alone than with others. I enjoy my own company and meeting new people. I can also sit in a blind with a PH and say 10 words in 8 hours.
Do what you need to in order to feel comfortable and safe. Happy hunting.
