Some do all the homework and know when and where a buck should be. The problem is you have to get the buck to cooperate. I have been out almost every day since October 1st. Just when I think I have a buck figured out, mother nature throws in a wrench to screw things up. Coyotes, dogs, other bucks, you name it, its going to happen. Have faith and have fun. Look at the other side of the coin, you could be one of those who is unable to go out and enjoy the outdoors. Say the Serenity Prayer and get back out there.
