not at all for me...I do it mostly to remember past fun hunts and to compare how many shooters I am seeing from one year to the next.

I guess for me, it would turn something as simple, and relaxing into work. I take notes on experiments all day long every day. I work in a lab, and love doing the experiments, but hate reporting and presenting.

So in my leisure activity, I won't be taking notes. Maybe one day, I might regret it, when i forget when I took at one buck on the wall here, or another buck there. But I have a feeling by the time I forget that buck story, I won't care anyway.

My other hobby is motorcycles. Believe it or not, I know people who log their rides, or takes notes on how many miles they road. I just sit and don't understand it. But hey it takes all kinds.

But in the case of Greg, he sees so many freaking animals at his own little Jurassic park, he has to take notes to remember the booners he saw yesterday. Just kiddin with you, kinda. Jealousy is such a horrible thing isn't it?

I like to watch it. It's about a 1/2 an hour long. I tagged out early this year. but it's cool to watch.

BC:

Harley riders are the EPITOME of "anal".

Where's yours' right now.....and does it have dust on it? I used to have a shirt that said "I rode my bike to trailer week". It never rode on a trailer after it was delivered to the dealership. Chrome this...billet that......this leather seat looks cooler than that one. Is my leather wrinkled?.....etc..., etc..., etc... .

Glad you brought that up. 15 seconds to log a huntthe next day sounds SO Much more "normal", now......lol.

right now, she is sitting right here next to my living room in sparkling glory.

Actually she has lost most of her sparkle. She has over 40K on her, and I can't say I worry too much about pretty anymore. I just ride. Actually ride year around. But road salt and harleys don't mix well.

But surprised you are trying to compare motorcycle vanity with taking notes in a hunting log. I guess I just don't see the connection. I have hunted for a long time, and know a bunch of hunters, and can't say I ever met one that kept a log. I guess if I started hunting recently and a young guy in the information world we live in it might seem a little more normal. When I started hunting, there was no excel.

I always said if/when I bought another harley....I'd buy an electraglide std. and NEVER wash it (and I mean that).

I just thought it was ironic you mentioned harley riders and making something simple and relaxing......work. World's worst (as a community). Gettingdressed for a normal, Sunday ride is probably more of a productionto thecommon harley rider than it is for a broadway musical.

They're likely to be heard exclaiming.................."Is my 'live free or die' showing?"...as their big wife on the back says... "Yes"....."Now Get back in line, Stan".

You guys that keep journals, do you hunt several different properties? I hunt one of 3 (usually one of 2 properties) depending on wind, how much time I have, etc. One of the properties I pretty much know when and where to hunt it, the other 2 I'm still learning. I could see where it could help the first few years when you are getting used to the travel patterns, but after that, it would seem like work to me.
