I've been keeping an excel spreadsheet for the last 8 years. the columns I have are: date, am/pm, stand, hours hunted, deer seen, bucks seen, description.

One thing I've noticed from this log is that I hardly ever see deer from my favorite stand unless it's during the rut. and, during the rut, it's AWESOME. I never knew that until I looked back over the years. I of course also keep track of deer harvested.

this year I will hit 1000 hours hunted (in the 8 years). ugh, that's a lot.
