One thing I would like to add to putting in a lot of time and not killing a deer. Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in my stand not seeing anything as per usual. I watched a squirrel running upa tree with leaves in his mouth to make his home warm and comfy for the winter. He was doing this same exact thing the previous day. Up and down he would go. I lost track of how many times I watched him doing this, but it took the "edge" of of not seeing deer. I found this sillyness amusing.I think it's these neat little things that we need to appreciate while we're hunting.
There are many people who live such hectic (sp) lives that they will never be able to see the simple little things of life. I think that's a shame. We as hunters are a verylucky to witnessthese things even if we're not seeing deer. We learn much about the woods and the animals that live there. I love hunting even if at times it feels like a job.
