I brought Dad with me this morning into the area I hunted yesterday. I figured between the two of us, maybe one of us could get a crack at something. It was the best morning we’ve had to sit. There was basically no wind and the sky remained still for the majority of the day. However, we didn’t have any luck at all. Neither one of us saw a deer. I’m still baffled that nothing showed up. I did hear a deer walk past me around 8, but I never saw it. It was just over the ridge and out of sight when it walked by. 

  Brian saw a few does today but believes they were pushed past him. Kentucky hunted with us today and went to check out a new area that we figured might have potential for the future. Unfortunately, he came back with no good news. He said there were people all over and no deer sign whatsoever. It feels good to cross a spot off the list. He did good work today. He’s half my age and isn’t lacking for motivation or the desire to succeed. He’s a solid contributor, and I enjoy being around his enthusiastic attitude. He will have a great hunting career and kill many big bucks in his lifetime, long after I’m gone. I just hope I can lend him some useful tools and help him realize how hard it truly is to be consistently successful. There is not substitute for hard work.
