Me and one other or me and my two sons (6 and 4) with one other. I don't go alone. I don't prefer big groups of more than 5. When I go hunting I like to hunt my dogs and the guys dogs I am with. Too many people with too many dogs is not cool with me. I don't load and take all my dogs and go through all the effort not to hunt the dogs I take. If I'm taking my dogs, I plan on turning them loose.
I am happiest when my dog box is completely empty and it is just me and the bulldog waiting on a strike!!!
I like the way u put that last part.
