[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5246999, member: 17"] If I knew how to create an App, I would do so. Currently, most hunters just keep track of everything on their phone, in the "Notes" App. I collect all the data after each hunt and enter it into an old database system I wrote years and years ago (so old, it's in dBase III). But all of that data collection does provide the opportunity to display "progress" graphically, in a manner anyone can see and understand. One of my favorite graphs to show the hunters is the one below, displaying "where we came from" so many years ago. This is a graph of the percent of observed bucks that are older (2 1/2+). When we first started, in the late '80s, we had years where NONE of the bucks seen during the entire season were 2 1/2+. Now, 35 years later, 50+% of bucks seen are older bucks. The season isn't over, so I haven't entered this year's data, but so far 58% of bucks observed by hunters were 2 1/2+. That's a big difference, and the slow steady improvement can best be seen in the 3-year running mean line on the graph. [/QUOTE]
