In all seriousness that's what it comes down to though. People can tell you every intimate detail about what to do but I believe that the real intrinsic ingredient to find deer is something indescribable and possibly something subconscious that we aren't even aware of. If you could just tell people what to do everyone would be shooting deer all the time and there'd be no drive to do something so easy. I've hunted my whole life and would like to think for someone as young as myself I am pretty good at finding deer. But not a weekend goes by that I'm not put on my arse by something a deer has done that has completely baffled me.
I wouldn't rather any other passion in the world but fuck she can be frustrating!

My only piece of advice is just be patient and persistent. It may take a while and maybe this trip you wont even see any but your time will come!
