I am interested in starting to log my every hunt, so I can start better prediciting deer movement and whatnot. I would love some advice on how to start a good log on my computer. I think some people use excel. I would love to know what you all keep track of weather wise, movement wise, time wise, ect.

All the advice will get greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

im not shure on how to do it on a computer but i do it on a calendar. I write down the temp,wind,other weather cond., deer movement and time and # of deer.

I started logging all my huntslast year. I use a Word document and create a table with columns for date, time, location, weather, and observations. You could do something similar, whether it be in a spreadsheet or on a piece of paper. I guess a spreadsheet would be good if after a few years you want to do some sort of analysis ofthe information.

Keeping a journal is a great idea, I wish i did it!

I put mine on a deer an deer hunting calendar that has moon phases on it an rut prediction forecast. I keep itan go back an look at it the next year. 800 258 0929, krause publication less than$12.00 .

I keep a journal. I just write down all the conditions and what I seen, killed etc. Take a little note pad with you so you don't forget anything.

I think this is a good idea. I would use wind speed ,temp, and everything else.

I found a great access database over on archery talk that a fellow hunter put together for free use. It's been great and I enter everything in there.

Mine's in excel. I note:

Date
Location
Weather conditions
No. of Deer seen
No. of Does
No. of bucks
No. in bow range
Notes

It takes about 30-60 seconds to make a journal entry.
