My fifth hunt yesterday (warning, nothing bagged)

IMO you're doing the right thing...scouting till you find sign/animals is much more productive than just finding an open spot to set up and hoping something walks by which is what most newer hunters do.

Thanks--I hope it works out--though I've told all my buddies so maybe I should have kept it a secret? LOL. I have to admit I love stalking the woods looking for signs. On the other hand--I'm not very good at sitting still--I hate sitting in a stand for hours--though I do have one and have done it and recognize it's necessary.
