Journals/Records/Diaries
Who all keeps a hunting journal or log? I believe that it can prove to be major asset and scouting tool.
I personally keep a journal and write in it after every hunt. I have date, time, weather (wind speed and direction, cloud cover, etc.) weapon used, stand location, how many deer i saw, where they came from, where they were goin and why they were doing both, calls used, scents used- whether they were effective or not and a short 5-6 line story and recap. of the hunt.
My family also keeps detailed records of our harvested deer. Age, body weight, antler size, stomach contents, location of harvet and time of year, obviously.
This year I started keeping a record of how much rain we get, which will help monitor our food plots and fruit trees while hopefully producing some helpful information in regards to the mast crop in the fall.
So I was just curious who else keeps a working journal, and if so what are its contents?
