Hunting takes a lot of patients and time,now that Your older You may do better out there Hunting,the main thing is to enjoy the Outdoors and Wildlife and not to put a lot of pressure on yourself to get a Deer,another thing to learn is to stay as scent-free as possible and hunt the wind so You can be more succesful!
Glad to see Your back Hunting....make it more enjoyable and it will be a lot more fun the second time around!
