This.

I started keeping a diary when I moved up north 5 years ago. I did it mostly to keep records while I was trying to find good areas to hunt. It's worked wonders for my hunting and hopefully it will make for good reading when I'm old. You can compile stats on your years hunting etc also which I quite like.
