Default Patience and brute determination paid off.

For all the hunters out there that may get frustrated with seeing little or no deer consider this hunt in Saskatchewan last Nov.:
Nov. 9-10 hours straight on stand-40 degrees-no deer
Nov. 11-10 hours straight on stand-38 degrees-one doe at last light
Nov. 12-5 hours on stand-2 p.m. in the afternoon-out walks mister big
It goes to show that you have to been persistent. If you are in an area that has big bucks, like I was, they will show, and not necessarily at last or first light. My outfitter buddy says MOST of their deer are shot between 10a.m. and 3 p.m. So stay out there, keep still, and enjoy the view.
p.s. I always take a book with me, and a crossword book to take some breaks. It's impossible to stay focused for 10 hours straight.
Good Luck
