I have hunted both ways. When younger I had no problem being alone, hunting critters with four or two legs. Today, after two heart surgeries, I try to only hunt with at least one partner I can trust and with radios. I am not so much an older and wiser hunter as I am a lot less self-reliant. I know if I get into trouble I will need help quick.
I do suspect that the hunters that end up dead every year from exposure or injury were mostly hunting alone and without comunications.
Best,
Ed
