My wife hunts alone a lot, partly because she likes to sit in the whitetail woods, while I prefer hiking around the mule deer hills. She will even hunt alone when I am gone on a trip. Cam,ed back from a hunt in some other state once to find a whitetail hanging in the barn. She had to float it down a creek for about half a mile to get it out of the thick stuff where it was killed.

I know several more women who hunt alone. Maybe that's more common in the West than elsewhere.
