Anyone else keep a field journal?
Didn't know where to post it so put it under the Hunting with Parkers title. I have been keeping a journal (both hunting and fishing) for 30 years. Sometimes just a few words, like, "Porcupine covert, 3 grouse flushed, one shot, none dead. Lucy worked well today.." Other times a page full. I don't do weather, humidity, wind...etc. I'm usually too pressed for time. But now, looking back, the past 4-5 years I can't read any of my writing. Damn it degrades with time (or is it the single malts after the hunt?) Thinking of going to a Word document journal but I like written pages (that I can read). Guess I need an executive secretary. Anyone care to share what they do, or am I an outlier? I figure someday someone will give a large enough turd to read them, maybe not. I find if I look over them I get sad over the loss of the dogs that came before. I also find that I had a hell of a lot more energy back then, starting at 6am and hunting until dark well over 100 miles away in the North country then up and at work the next day.
