I just want to know incase I decied I was to solo Bounty Hunt how many of you are out thier  , I "might" be able to take on.

2 years of training into combat and your just now getting into pvp? Thats somewhere between 18 - 24 million in combat skills.
My god man...
As for your original question I solo pvp as often as I can fit a ship and keep my sec status high enough.
Currently working on a alt that should be done with learning skills some time in May in witch case Ill be running her 100% solo pvp and the main to fund her through missions. I hate having to wait, but going red on the only money making toon I got with a very small corp... just doesnt make sence. If I have a bad spree of ship loss Ill be screwed.
So on the weekends Im out and about in the belts in lonetrek and during the week grinding missions for sec status and isk till my lil alt is done

i solo alot, it is however, extremely difficult because of current game mechanics. I also die alot when i do it because i get so insanely bored and I attack things like Dominix's or Stababonds.

the more I play the more it seems like groups are the way to go, I mean I know its a MMO and all, but there is a group of us players who do like solo pvp and find it frustrating when you continuously bump into a 6 - 10 man squad of a-holes.

You will learn more from soloing about PVP than any other way...
When you are in a fleet you are just taking orders, you don't need to know what to do, you just need to execute the orders you have been given. Thats why so many alliance blobbers think their PVPer's when they haven't a clue how combat or tactics work.
For me soloing is a nice break not having to lead fleets etc., but its not nearly as fun as it used to be. Now everyone uses scouts at chokepoints and people fit so many stabs that it is very unusual to be able to scramble someone when you are solo.
If CCP did something to nerf stabs it would make soloing a viable option once more.

Baz m8, its the sad truth.
Ewar is the win button in game currently.
Having said that im always out there SOLO, but if my corp m8s are online then ill probably be strutting around with them.
^^^ that is when i get 5 mins to play nowadays, aint R/L a *****.

I pvp solo, and i like to fight noobs other pirates and anyone else looking for 1v1 action.
I despise blobs, although theres nothing wrong with a well thought up gang of ships and setups, unfortunatly most other gangs are pure gank which is where solo pvp and EWAR comes in.
A solo pvper may need to hav a 'gimic' to win fights, or at least give them the edge, a big tank or a big gank setup on your solo setup used to work, but ppl are wiser (copy those who dont suck) and fit EW and stabs - so the pirates hav to adapt. If you dont adapt you will die, dont blame the pirates for using what is nessary.
I reccomend you fit a half decent tank and fit one type of EW (ECM OR damps OR tracking rupters), also you may need good dmg OR nossing abilty, as you WILL find ppl using all kinds of stuff and while theres no uber one fit kills all there are some fits that will see a few battles before being trapped or ganked - or trapped and ganked 
To answer the question, there are planty of solo pvpers (some pirates some just out for a fight), but you will need to hav more than just good skills as it takes many types of 'skills' and knowlage to pull off solo pvp - braindead morons tend cruise in gangs 24/7 some the fear of loss is so bad they are litterly never without support (the usual gank squad low sec gate gankers and petty pirates).

I solo everywhere I go. I do it with no instas or SS's most of the time. I think it's the best for me atleast and the most fun.
Everywhere I go is mostly 0.0 and alliance controlled. I can't count the number of insults I get from groups and groups of pilot asking for duels and fights knowing they have 20-40 others in system with them. It's all rather funny because I'm always a noob to them yet I don't fly with people holding my hand =)
Quick Reminder for the soloist/ECT
-Dueling-
Dueling is not PvP. Yes you're fighting against another player vs player. Yet if someone magicaly calls you out in deep space to fight in a duel, it's almost always because
A) They want to gang you.
B) They know your ship but you don't know theres.
C) They want to gang you.
Dueling is not the same as real pvp. There is no "Stun Factor" in the fight. There is only tactics, experience, and just plain skill. Dueling is just another way for people to have it easy. Not to mention almost all duels are dishonored anyways.
-Overpowering-
Lets face it, if you're solo and flying around elite setups and ships trying to pick on stuff that's obviously a no brainer default win for you. Then noone will engage you in combat. Which is a must because people use Instas/SS's in space. If you can't pull them off that gate then there is no point to be out there. Only people who will engage you are people who you're not looking to fight. So if you can fly setups that look to be not the popular pvp choice and not so overpowering. Then you will get more engagements from people than you would of the popular flavor of the month.
:Popular:
Vexor, Thorax, Dommy, Rupture, Raven, Claw, Taranis, Crow, and ect
Cruiser vs Frig, Battleship vs Cruiser, Battlecruiser vs Frig, ECT = Not happening
:Not Popular:
Stiletto, Most Tech1 Frigates, Covert Op Frigs, Some faction frigs/cruisers, and Stealth Bombers.
It's like fishing you know? Bait it and wait...

The best 1v1s happen without pre arrangement. Pilots flying around looking in local doing background checks and trying to work out what ships whos in and if they're in a gang all warping about trying to get the jump on the other..... thats how low sec can be.
Once you find someone even if they do hav freinds near by they will want the kill to themselfs usually so only call in backup if their death is immannant. So if your winning finish it quick
Well thats what i find sometimes, and it can be lots of fun
All the good action is in 0.0, pfft just bossy alliences, low secs where its at... unless the gate campers are out

I often camp a system solo (well except for 2 alts) as this is the best way to make isk. However, I would NEVER engage another BS 1 vs 1 if he appeared in local with the sole intent on fighting me. The reason is, anyone can setup to take down a gate camper solo or counter the ship i'm flying.... it's just not worth the risk.
NOS, Jammers and Scramblers are your tools to kill any low life flagged at a gate. Dom and Scorp are the two that are best...

i do [:pie:]
i have under 1 million combat skillpoints, and i fly a rifter.
yesterday, i killed 2 cruisers, a destroyer and 3 frigs solo (including 3 of the pods). i also made a couple of other cruiser kills flying with a corpmate.
If you can't PvP after 2 years, you'll never be able to.

when i go around doing solo pvp i either :
1. find/catch ppl unawares and tear them a new bumhole
or
2. die horribly to a much much better setup/ship/ganksquad
it's been a long time since i've really been 'successfull' at solo pvp. odd how i was able to do it better when i had under 1 mil sp. hmmm....

Apparently real soloers are rare in 0.0. "Soloing" with a scout alt seems quite a bit more popular.
So in order to do some feasible "soloing" in 0.0:
1) Use a cheap agile ship (like ceptor)
2) Have an alt to scout ahead/behind. Even those trial accounts work well on this, till you decide you really need 2nd real account.

I solo pirate 80% of the time - always in low sec, usually in a wolf, sometimes in a rupture.
Also 90% of my targets dont use stabs FYI (where are you WCS whingers flying)
I'll keep my eye out for you Jet in case you want my massive 1 mill bounty
