| I've considered doing this myself. I would include what I'd call the
attitude the birds came in with such as, "they came right in", "they
hesitated", "shots from other hunters flaired them" etc. For my
purpose, I plan on more of a diary. I've deer and bird hunted for the
past 25 years. There's alot of things that happen you'll want to
remember. Don't limit your journal technicalities!
Just a thought.

| For deer hunting, how about the moonphase?

| I do something similar for trout fishing. Looks like you covered
most of the bases on tech questions. I leave a section for a
short commentary.
I should do something similar for hunting (and my garden). I'm sure
it would prove useful, especially with my decreasing number of brain
cells and lack of memory!

| I maintain a journal in the cabin and on the boat. I have for years
and it makes for great reading. The most interesting is the cabin,
because there is more time to sit down and expound on the virtues
of hunting and outdoor life in general. The most interesting ones
are during elk season, because the days are so short and there is
more time to sit around and tell lies.
Over time I've found that if it is allowed to flow freeform, it
makes for better reading and the needed information gets in there
one way or the other. Also, people other than yourself will write
in it. Some of the most interesting passages are written on
unsuccessful hunts, terrible weather conditions which cause you
to "hole-up" for awhile and of course THE HUNT. Last year when
my son got his first bull there was some interesting writing which
will be fun to read as the years go by.
I highly recommend it, even if it's a journal thrown in the glove
compartment of your vehicle.

| Jeff, I've been keeping a journal since I got my lab. I would also
agree that it is better to keep it as a textual description of the hunt
rather that "just the facts". It makes for great reading in the off
season. It's a great reminder of "little" things that make the hunts
so enjoyable, but you tend to forget over time. It has also helped me
to recognize a few patterns that I may not have otherwise. For
example, one spot I hunt has been consistently product very late in
the season, but much more spotty in the early half.
Mark,
