How many of you keep a record of your hunting season and what do you record in the journal if you do keep one? Deer movement stand wind temp....

I keep one and update iteverytime I go hunting. I try to be as detailed as possible and leave reminder notes for next season. I record the facts(weather, time, location, sightings etc) and I try to write a narrative each timeso that othersmay readin the future.

Always have one. They're neat to read a few years down the line.

Temp.... starting from when I get in the stand, and then temp when I get out.

And then any notes, such as what date they picked the corn or beans.

I used to keep one just for successful hunts, but started keeping one for all outings last year and this year I'm recording conditions and not just what happened on stand. It's fun to do and will only help later on down the road.
