A few years ago, I missed with everything I shot no matter how close. Finally, I went to the range. Hit everything with each rifle, just like I had before season. I was rattled, HARD. I didn't trust anything anymore. I over thought everything.
Last day of season, hit a nice buck and a doe. Only two shots after the range. Forced myself to relax. DRTs.
having trouble finding them this year. Got a nice, maintained scrape line, but can't match the traveling time. Have it down to 9-3, hard to do with work, so heading out now.

I believe that!! I just spent 6 hours on stand. 6:30-3:30. 30yds off the trail. Trail has 3 huge scrapes, c/w lick sticks within 100 yds of each other. Trail also intersects as a major junction, three other trails. WELL-USED TRAILS! Not a human footprint around. Watched them the night I found them. Brought in the sand and set it up after dark. Kicked some snow over the scrapes. Left some doe urine in each. Went back in the morning. Nothing disturbed. Went back after work...all three tore up! Treated them again. Nothing disturbed this morning. Sat until my feet were frozen.Deer take the weekends off rookie wildcat.
Threw $200 bucks for a pair of muck boots. Rated +10 degrees to -40 degrees. Hunter woody elite they are. I have walked all over with warm feet even at -25 a couple of weeks ago. THEY ARE NOT SITTING BOOTS!
-10 today, -18 with windchill. Wind came up about 2. Changed direction as well, actually hitting me. Still, was warm enough clothes-wise, but my FEET. I'll go back to my mukluks.
Fairly discouraged, we usually have 2 or 3 hanging by now...and we haven't seen any.
Pre-season scouting picked out a half-dozen spots, TONS OF SIGN, actual animals seen, everything. And here I am, halfway through the season scouting for new spots... Really! WTF? Doesn't bode well putting in tree stands, ground blinds, still-hunting new areas halfway through the season. My wife and I may find ourselves skunked this year. I may have to travel and find a late season.
