Hey buddy, it seems like you're doing alot right. Don't give up yet.

I shot my first deer, a 9-pointer, my first day of my second season. It was 6 years and 13 misses before I got my second. Thank God I stuck it out. I've got 5 deer under my belt, and the last 2 were a piece of cake. Then, just this morning, I left my stand (I know, it's the rut, and I should have sat ALL DAY), and was knelt down at the base of the tree getting my stuff together when up runs a doe and the BIGGEST buck I've ever seen in the woods! He looked like one of those Ontario-deer you see on T.V. He was over 250 pounds, at least 5 years old and probably scored 150-155. Beautiful 10-point buck, broadside and unaware of me, AT 10 YARDS!!

I killed a branch.

Get you a stand, setup where you see the most activity, and watch the woods. You'll get one, just be patient.
