[QUOTE="Heath423, post: 4966447, member: 19295"] You can tell you are not whining but just really frustrated. Your post reminded me of myself when I 1st started deer hunting in the mid '90's. Trying to self teach and learn was hard. Benefits now is that there are a lot of video's, podcast and forums to gather information. Hopefully, you can gather most information during the off-season and try and apply what works for you and your area during the season. You sound as you are doing the right things it just takes time (boots on the ground). You will eventually have deer on you within shooting distance. Once that happens you will find you have even more to learn. Deer will pick you off with just the smallest movement. If you get the shoot pulled off (especially archery) be patient before going to recover. Countless times there have been more deer come through (when it rains it pours). Take that time to observe the deer and how they move, look and listen. If you need to track blood to find your deer be prepared with TP and mark each blood discovery. Sometimes the blood you are tracking will be very minor. Stay with it and good luck on your future hunts. [/QUOTE]
