I've always found it amazing on here how many people know all their stats and numbers. People that have been hunting for years know exactly how many deer they've killed. Always amazed me. Myself, I havent' the first clue other than ... A LOT. I probably stopped counting after the first year or two. I kill one, butcher it, eat it and go try to kill another one. I repeat this proccessthroughout the year and it is what it is.

Then there are those that know exactly how many sits and hours they have sat on stand in a given year (or hunting career). Hell there are people that even know how many hours scouting they've done and break that down into ratios. Again, I have not the first clue about how many times I sat in a tree, how many hours or how many hours I have scouting other than ............ a lot.

I feel like I'm missing something. Seriously how can someone that has hunted for a long length of time know first hand how many deer they've killed? When asked that question is the answer on the top of their head or do they have a book or something to use as a reference?

Same for the people that know the exact number of sits and hours. Do you go home and log your hunting stats someplace? When asked do you bring it up on your computer, is it an estimate or do you know the running total already in your mind?

There is obviously nothing wrong with this. Just something that is TOTALLY foriegn to me. I'm just seriously wondering how people arrive at all these numbers and what they do to have them at their disposal. In a way I kind of wish I have kept records from day one because it would be interesting to know. I'm a little late on that though.

How do you know how many deer you've killed?
How do you know how many sits and hours you've been in a tree?
