I don't know about spirit... it just seems a little anal to me. I hunt when I can. I use the wind to my advantage and set up with that in mind. I don't need to flip threw some journal from last year to tell me it's a beautiful day and the deer should be moving. Of course, all the journal entries in the world are useless if the neighbor turns his Dobermans loose at 6 PM every Oct evening. [8D][8D][8D]
