Its hard to do sometimes... Especially when you are supposed to wait 30 minutes is what I hear most say.

It usually is hard to do.
If you dont mind me asking how long have you been hunting?

I started hunting when I was like 16 years old wasn't serious about it, I stopped when I turned around 18 year olds, I only killed one deer since. I 'm now 38 and just recently started hunting again...

Ok I got ya. Seemed like you was real unsure of yourself is why I was asking. It is always a good idea to let them lay if you can stand it. I`ve never had one drop in his tracks and then get up and run. If i shoot one and it drops where I can still see it I try to keep an eye on it for fear of it getting up. Good luck in the future

White hair or brown?

I killed a spike that was probably 110 yds with a 30-30 when I was a kid. He was trotting down a slough straight away from me, cut to the left, and I put one in his left asscheek and we found it buried in his right front shoulder.

Sounds like me. I had been fishing since I could hold a rod. I lost interest in hunting when I went to college and never really had many opportunities after that. I lived in south FL all of 2009 and 2010 and caught more and bigger fish than I could have ever imagined. I was very lucky - a good friend of mine had a 36ft boat and loved to fish as much as I do. Moved back to South LA in January of last year. I have to say, I'm glad to get back into hunting deer and ducks. I do alot better now that I'm serious about it and dedicated. Best of luck. I haven't had any this year when it comes to deer.

Brown hair, When I looked down to the ground , the hair was like 2 foot wide in like a circular shape. Found pieces of bone in the process. I took a pic of a 1 inch piece of bone I found on the spot while I was waiting.

Same, I've fished all my life. In the past I found it easier to just fish than to waste hours waiting on something to pass by. Now I loving the peaceful wildlife. I have 5 kids and usually can't wait to leave the house to go hunting for hours.
