I posted a thread (Long Story....I hit but did not recover a deer), yesterday. I'd just like to say thanks to all of you who posted on that thread. I think I can take the following positives with me:

1)This place(HNI) is chock FULL of people with a VAST knowledge of deer hunting....and hunting, in general. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE GUYS' willingness to share. I'm a better man for it.

2)I could not imagine how much light power I DIDN'T have when I got into the woods to track this deer. I have that problem solved, now. I purchased (2) LED flashlights. I purchased (1) standard, rechargeable spotlight....and (1) industrial, specialized light that is rechargeable and cost me an arm and a leg. I won't go through what I went through the other night, again. We were scrambling for lights. Ialso bought a medium sized plastic tool box to keep all of the lights in. I'll keep it in the truck tool box.....and it'll be where i need it to be when the time comes, again.

Lastly.....I just bought myself a new Browning knife, this year, that my son loves. I was so impressed witht the response to my thread, yesterday.....and I thought the content of YOUR replies was so important....I printed the pages out and took it home for him to read. I told him how important the content was.....and that I'd buy HIM a knife like mine....if he'd promise to read it and keep it (He has a friend that I want to read it, also. He is a young hunter, too).....if he eve needed to refer to it.

Thanks again, guys.....
