need2hunt2 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Does anyone do a hunting log or journal? Found this the other day when I was on amazon, lots easier to use than the notebooks I used in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I used to Gary. Kept a journal in a file on my pc, that pc has not been powered on in at least a year, but that file should still be in the hd. Kept a journal online here for years in the users daily journal. All those here were lost unfortunately with some of the forum "upgrades". I kept some notes in a phone for a while but those did not merge with my last phone swap. I am also guilty of texting messages to my wife about what I see, then later go back and review those. Really the best recounts of my hunts are the stories I have posted here.

Rhino Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Same here...I used to Gary but quit about 10 years ago or so. My computer crashed and I lost it...9 years of organized entries...bummer. I still have my hand written note books for each of those years though. I don't hunt any of the properties anymore where I used took those notes. When I kept a journal data included all weather conditions, moon phases, along with details for each deer I saw (ID, time seen, direction came from, direction went, etc.). BTW...from reviewing that data annually, at least for Mississippi deer, it was obvious moon phase wasn't really a factor for deer movement. These days, data from trail cams has really helped do a lot of the same thing. Hunters just need to use all the data and pay attention to details in the pictures. Granted eyes on is better since you're covering a larger area than a cam. However, having several scent free sets of eyes out there 24/7 taking pics and storing data sure beats the old days of trying to figure deer out.

Ravin R10 man Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I used to enter every hunt in a spiral ring note pad. was interesting to go back on a cold winter eve. and relive each hunt..YEARS after! ...JEEPERS! It was AMAZING how it triggered back memories of that very hunt! Like Rhino I stopped doing that prob under ten years now. Kinda wish I woulda kept them some times....

thundar Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I like to journal my hunts, and I really like the Quiver app for my phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 My reply is the same as Al's. Now I just rely on memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have a notebook I try to write down what deer I shot from what stand, sate/time, etc. Though maybe I should do more to really key in on deer activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
