    Deffinatley something I'm gonna do this year. So basically, how do you have yours set up? Do you take it to the woods with you and write it as you see it, or just catch up from memory when you get home?

    I think it would be nice to have with you, something to look at while your waiting anyway.

    Things Ive thought of myself to include:

    -Arrival time to stand
    -Where your hunting, whether it be a different parcel of land or just a different stand.
    -Wind direction
    -Moon phase
    -Date, of course
    -Time of sightings
    -Details of sightings(buck, doe, man pooping, etc)
    -Temperature
    -Barometric Pressure(Ive never utilized this but "they" say, Whens its dropping, go hunting.)
    -Special notes about the hunt inparticular

    Ok guys what else?

    That about covers it for me, I like to take mine with me, it is a small planner so I can find days and stuff easily. I like to compare dates from year to year.

    This is interesting and it sounds like it could be a big help sometimes, especially when it comes to patterning.

    Hmmmmm.....maybe I will try something like this, this season:d

    That's a great idea. Think that I will start doing this!
