RE: Who takes field notes/journals??
Trust me David.....lol....It takes me about 15 seconds to log my last hunt into excel. What I get from it is really useful to only me and my wildlife bio.
If all I cared about was putting my face into the wind and having fun......I'd ride roller coasters instead of hunt.
To me.....keeping a journal is useful and fun to recall. Of course....you could just make stuff up and spew it....then who would know.....right??
I can cite how many does/buck/fawns I saw in a single season. I can cite how many deer I saw in a particular woodlot.....on a particular wind....on a particular weather occurrence. That's useful to me.
