Spirit?
In what way?
When I played college ball.....we kept notes on opposing hitters and I studied them before we played them (I was a catcher and called my own games).
I see this as no different.

Doesn't taking notes and all this kinda suck the spirit out of it? Not really knocking people, just curious.

I use to keep notes for years until I realized there useless. (to me ) ex. big buck killed nov 4th south wind 5:30 pm 58 deg. east side stand my junk hanging to the left. After comparing years of notes I realized the only thing that was consistant was my junk hanging to the left.

Trust me David.....lol....It takes me about 15 seconds to log my last hunt into excel. What I get from it is really useful to only me and my wildlife bio.
If all I cared about was putting my face into the wind and having fun......I'd ride roller coasters instead of hunt.
To me.....keeping a journal is useful and fun to recall. Of course....you could just make stuff up and spew it....then who would know.....right??
I can cite how many does/buck/fawns I saw in a single season. I can cite how many deer I saw in a particular woodlot.....on a particular wind....on a particular weather occurrence. That's useful to me.

I've kept notes for years. I find them interesting and helpful. I did this in 2006 and would like to do it for the rest of my years of notes as well. I just need the time.
