Mobo,
Thats what hunting is all about. Its a game of strategy - hide and seek. Its gathering all the puzzle-pieces together and trying to assemble a good picture of whats going on. I have used topo maps and counted as much of my land as possible. Just keep at it. It took me years to finally take my 1st buck. After that I always tell my friends you 'Break The Bad Luck Cycle' and start taking bucks. Your earn it thru trial and error.

WHAT MAKES THE WINNING BOWHUNTERS IS SHEER DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE and a I WILL NOT QUIT ATTITUDE.

Eventually, you WILL prevail!
