Never give up. This goes for hunting, as well as preparation. If there's a will, there's a way. Money is extremely tight, believe me I know. But sweat equity is worth it's weight in gold sometimes. Get out there, get creative, and get it done.

On the hunting end of things....Season ain't over till it's over. Also.....we talk an aweful lot about location around here. I believe I'm a prime example of this.....If you aren't happy w/ your current location, find another one.

I hunted my home area hard for several years, and became positively convinced they weren't there. So, I did a little work, found a new spot, killed a good one the 3rd morning in. It's not going to be handed to you, you gotta go get it. Never give up.
