Having a bad start when it comes

Having a bad start when it comes to hunting will always be a part of it. So it's been a week yet no buck sightings of any kind. It doesn't mean there are still more out there. To think negatively on the hopelessness of the hunt is already giving up, thus losing confidence and interest. Don't give up until the fat doe sings.

Trailing and stalking may be similar, but the main root is to know where to go, and look beyond it. In a way when someone picks up a dime on the road and moves on, only to find five bucks that he missed. A heavy trail doesn't assure a herd of deer nearby. It may just mean that they're passing by, and might never come back. Just move on and keep watching for the signs.

And be realistic when it comes to hunting. Tagging a buck on the first week is just as good as getting a truckload. Remember, hunting grounds do vary, and so does the harvest.
