RE: Starting to doubt myself. This sucks.
Frustration is a hunters worst nightmare. Dont ever doubt yourself. Find other stand locations ortry other types of hunting tecniques likestill hunting. You will learn a lot whiledoing it. In hot weather the deer are probably bedded so sneak along the edges of their bedding areas. Sneak around their drinking areas. Dont move too fast and be looking for a flicker of an ear or tail or a patch of white, an antler beam etc.If its real hot check shady areas where its cooler. If you havent done much still hunting you will probably jump some deer,and will probably get thechance to take one on the run if your comfortable doing so. Dont get frusrated just change it up a bit. Now is a good time to learn new things. It wont hurt and like everyones saying you have plenty of time.
