Hey crew, I'm back home from the job for an extended weekend, then I get to go back again. Cripes, I retire last June and then get stuck away from home more than ever. I did get to see a few deer as I travelled from camp to the drill site on occasion, but no shooters. They were all mule deer and had to be 4 points minimum on at least one side. Having taken my whitetail buck earlier, only a mule deer buck was still open for me. At any rate, that season finished yesterday. Now the only opportunity is for a late season archery whitetail doe, starting Nov 25.

Now, I see there has been all manner of excitement among our team the last couple weeks. You guys have been having a whale of a time. But there's sure a couple teams that have gone hog wild lately; we'll catch 'em.

bowhuntinoh, a hearty congratulations on your buck. We'll anxiously await pictures. Good job!

Fsh, as per your suggestion a couple weeks ago, I will eventually have some pictures from my absence. Got some very snowy ones. Coldest day so far was -1 deg.
