I don't know, I was pretty disappointed last week when I hunted 4 days straight mornings and evenings without seeing a deer. It was the first time I hunted a new lease. Had I seen even one doe 200 yds away I would have felt a lot better about the whole thing.
I think this is a normal thing though. There is always some hope and excitement when getting to hunt a new spot - and that can be disappointing when you go home empty handed. But on the flip side of that, I remember reading your post about those few days and remember you were quite pleased overall just because you had a great time, am I right, or am I thinking about a different post?
Burnie: Yes, frustration is normal, I know all too well about frustration. But during those hunts did you still not enjoy being out there? Can you look back at those hunts now and find something to smile about? If you can, than I don't think you fit into the type of people I'm thinking of. And the same goes to you LC.
You are absolutely right! I killed a hog and got to enjoy Gods creation. I was disappointed I didn't see deer though. All in all it was a great 4 days in the woods. It could have been better though!
I'll do it all again next week for 5 days. I plan to have another great trip. If I see deer well so much the better!
Also, although I was disappointed I never complained about it.
