The Hunt Recorder and Notes Book - by Dave Conrad

The Hunt Recorder & Notes Book at the very least is the most complete and well thought out hunting journal on the market today. Hunters using it will undoubtedly benefit from utilizing and evaluating their recorded information. All features are presented in an easy to use and understand format. For instance, information gathered in the Stands and Location as well as the Field Notes sections allow you to create new strategies for future hunts. These combined with hunting tips from several of today's masters no doubt will help in your pursuit of game. 

The Hunt Recorder & Notes Book allows you to examine buck activity throughout the year, even bringing moon phases into the equation. Specific deer stands can be analyzed to determine their effectiveness. A stand may be great for early season but activity may drop off during the rut. Also different crops within an area may cause more sign and activity then in a previous year. Diagrams, sketches and field notes created detailing these are perhaps the greatest assets in determining a buck's pattern. Examining these sketches and field notes will assist in making critical choices allowing you to recognize when hunting strategies need to be altered in order to harvest that trophy animal. 

The Hunt Recorder is more than just keeping field notes. Important telephone numbers of the Game Warden and lease owners as well as their addresses can be kept in the organized directory. A Guide and Outfitters Directory will aid in referencing by animal type and the area of the country. When planning that next big game adventure simply turn to this section. It can be thought of, as a one-stop reference for all your hunting needs. 

The Hunt Recorder can also be used as a teaching guide. Learn from your past "experiences" or use the Recorder in teaching a youngster, new to the sport of hunting. How many times have we found ourselves in similar situation while on a hunt? Recording and reviewing these allow us to become aware of "what works" in these particular situations.

With all the technology at your fingertips today what benefits does a handwritten journal have over a PC?

The Hunt Recorder adds a personal touch to all notes, tables and sketches within it. Hand drawn sketches with a pencil or pen just give more meaning and detail to a whitetail-scouting map. Memories of that buck that you saw seem to jump right off the page at you. Furthermore, in the future you can look back at all these hand written memories and recall that specific day and hour that you harvested your once in a lifetime trophy.

Without a doubt The Hunt Recorder is packed with more features then you thought possible in a well-organized field book. I recommend getting one for each different area you hunt as well as for the species you are pursuing. With all the money spent on today's equipment a small investment in the Hunt Recorder will allow you to formulate years of hunting strategies.
