This weekend I took my first hunting trip of the year. The group I was with had a cabin up in the hills outside Nemo, SD. The three days I was up there we took three different spots each day that had been scouted the weekend before. The first two spots we walked through the first day we didn’t see anything but squirrels and I few chipmunks. The third we only saw doe’s and a bull elk, nice 5 by 5 or 10 pointer. The second day one of the other girls got lost the first spot we walked. We found her on the far side of the camp. That drive no one saw a thing, same with the second. The third drive I saw eight doe’s and one nice 5 by 6 or 11 point buck. He hid behind trees so I couldn’t get a clear shot. The third day no one saw a single thing. “Day three was a waste of gas in the trucks,” that’s what the land owner said when we get back to camp.
The whole weekend not one get a deer but three of the guys filled their turkey tags. If you don’t get the animal you’re hunting the first time you go, try to go as often as possible till the season is over. Never give up after the first trip.

Sounds like a fun weekend, but to bad you counldn't really find anything.
life keeps going on it takes a lot of work but its all worth it in the end
sounds like you had a pretty fun weekend....
Perseverance is really the key. Even though it was scouted one weekend, doesn't mean it will be the same the next.
