Default how many of you keep a journal for each hunt???

I have started to carry a journal with me to the woods and record pertinent information for each hunt. Seeing how i am in the preliminary stages, i certainly can't project any success of yet, but have any of you experienced successes due to your journals over the years??

This is the first year for me actually recording it. I am keeping it on my puter, as long as I remember to update. Gotta make a habit of it, I keep forgeting to update after each hunt.

YEp, just started keeping one this year. I fill in the temp, wind direction and speed.What time I get in my stand, and out of it. How many deer I see, if it is a buck or a doe. Where I see it, and where it is headed, and what time I see the deer. I also keep track of what time of the year the crop fields get picked.....
