For the past 3 years I been keeping a detailed hunting journal associated with my hunting day such as game seen, time, conditions and locations. By doing this I got the deer and elk rut down to the exact time. Its really for my own reference, but it also comes in handy when the game and fish commision calls at the end of the year and wants to know how many man hours I hunt in relationship to my success.
I don' t make my own maps up but reley on several maps to get the imfo I need and then I cross reference them. Many of these maps are computer generated and therefore some errors may exist, so I do a lot of cross chequeing, but there is also such a thing called actual field condions which vary from the maps. It doesn' t hurt to have too much imfo and I am always looking for an edge. Good luck Bobby
