I wrote this article for GoHunt.com about the challenges of solo hunting. The majority of my days hunting in the backcountry are solo trips. I wrote this article to share some of the challenges and trials that you will face when you go solo.

There is something special and almost magical about hunting solo. In some ways, going solo has become a rite of passage! Solo hunting was a forced necessity for me. Like many hunters, I have an unquenchable passion for big game hunting and dreamed of moving and living out West. It was like western hunting was woven into my DNA.
