RE: have put countless hours in the woods
deerhunter1224,
man, I hunted nearly eight years before I even killed a deer, so I know how you feel. Of course, some of that time was learning time so I probably made some critical mistakes, but for the most part, I hunted hard and correctly, I just didn' t have a good place to hunt deer. Or else it was something like I' d have a buck tag and only see does. Really, I was 19 before killing a deer! It takes some time. I probably put 30 hours on stand before killing a deer this season. With some patience, I' ve already taken two this season! Just hang in there. Good luck!
