Don't give up. I tell you I started hunting when I was 12 years old I never saw the first deer from my stand till I was 21 I didn't take my first one till I was 30 now that was 22 years ago and I have got at least 100 since then. It seems like after your first one they just keep comming. Its just that first one is a tough nut to crack. Keep your chin up and keep after it. If you get one before your 30 your doing better then me. just goes to show you persaverance. Now I got to go look for a deer I hit last night wish me luck. Mike
