Yep. Plenty of places which one can "drive" to which never got walked to. No one gets to be 20 years old forever; and even fewer 20-year-olds know enough to be able to take advantage of the places they may be capable of getting to.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Howdy Folks,
I know I am old and crotchety It could be when they see how old you are they feel compelled to check on you, maybe to ease their own mind that you're OK out by yourself.

If you want a friend, then you have to be a friend.

Sometimes, you just don't want to talk to strangers, especially when you spent time trying to find solitude. I used to dislike people stopping uninvited to "visit" with me when I surf fished on the Texas beaches. Don't think this makes me unfriendly, just means I am not available to entertain anyone who comes by - that's not what I was out there for. I understand the original poster completely, maybe some others don't.

Alaskans are generally friendly, and the o/p comes across as pizzy, rather then someone that just wanted solitude. Perhaps he's a transplanted Texan

I have always enjoyed the conversations I have had with fellow hunters while out on teh 4 wheeler trails. I agree that the friendly wave is probably your best option but sometimes you can learn quite a bit from a short co0nversation and have even made a few new friends that way.

Sometimes it can be: "we just shot a 60"er and there is another right there!"
worth a howdy.

Not if you're on a 60 degree greasy slick incline about to do an about face...
Assess the situation, if favorable well then chat, if not move on and save trouble...
